OK so I have this correspondence pack thing to do and some of the questions are proving impossible. This doesnt even include the grammar questions of which some are asking about subjects I have no idea about and that my grammar refference book has never heard of either. for example... Match the sentences with the structures. 1. My car was stolen. 2. Open the box! 3. If you heat ice, it melts. 4. Can I help you? 5. He won’t pass the exam if he doesn’t do any work. 6. He said he would come the following day. 7. If I had enough money, I’d eat out more often. a. Interrogative b. Reported Speech c. Passive d. Second Conditional e. Imperative f. First Conditional g. Zero Conditional My grammar book claims to have never heard of Zero conditional! and its not just thats some of them... well... have a look for yourself! The underlined verbs in the following sentences are incorrect. Look at each sentence and: a.Correct the tense. b.Name the correct tense. c.Give two further example sentences. We’ve been to Toronto six months ago. a. b. c. if anyone can help I will love you forever! |

props to mapp. as for "We’ve been to Toronto six months ago" - since both the "have" and "been" are underlined, i'd change it to "We went to Toronto six months ago". |

hehe thanks man, you can ahve it when i go :D |

thats what i changed it to and im guessing it's simple past! but then maybe its simple past perfect! fucking perfect tenses do my head in! |
||||||||

simple past perfect? you mean pluperfect? well whatever you do, i'd change "been". "We'd been to toronto months ago" sounds completely wrong. to me anyway. It doesn't really matter what tense it is, as long as it's in the past. There's not such a stark contrast between simple past, perfect and pluperfect in english as there is in German, for example. In any event, changing it to the pluperfect would indicate the action having occured at a time earlier than that which is indicated by the simple past or perfect. it generally goes: earliest -> latest pluperf -> simp. pst -> perf -> present so it's best to stick to the simple past. Tell us more about this "pack"? Is it some sort of exam you have to send off to be able to teach english abroad? i'm very interested |

The hard pat of the question is that I have to say what tense the corrected sentence is, whether its past perfect or present perfect or past simple progressive etc and you can only change teh underlined part. It is supposed to be my training pack, meaning they don't train you they just send you a bunch of awkward questions and get you to try and answer them. I'm not going to be an English grammar teacher but i may get grammar questions form students so I have to brush up. It's just awkward not being an english student and my grammar reference books are just muddling my head. It also doesnt help that they use alot of American english expressions. For example there is a question about phrasal verbs but instead of calling them phrasal verbs they sue the American english term of Two and trhee part verbs which makes my life all the more difficult. I ahve today to finish pack 1 (which is half done) and pack 2 which I havent started. I'dlike to get on to actually planning lessons (pack 2) but I need to get tehse grammar questions out of the way first, it's really doing my head in. Alot of it is lack of confidence but still it's hard. If you want I'll upload the .doc, if you're interested like, you can have a look. some of its easy some of its just awkward. Like trying to explain teh difference between fat and overweight in a way that isnt just out right saying the difference. |

cheers. already learned a lesson myself: You rob a bank and steal its money. I would demonstrate this using a game. I would lay a number of things out in front of me and then turn my back. I would get the student to “Rob” me and I would try and guess what it was they chose to “Steal”. I'd have used those two words interchangably, but I see what you mean completely. good shit. |

Some adjectives end in “ed” and some end in “ing”. What is/are the rule(s)? reddened / reddening it's the difference between an adjective derived from the simple past form and progressive past |
