Here are some examples
The main point is to explain the correct answer
The sentences are little-bit childisch ;they are some modified sentences. I am afraid that my explanations seems to be a little childisch, too. So please help me how to turn it into the right explanation.
Mary was real angry because Jack didn´t show up
Real >> really - we use an adverb to determine the adjective
Fewer of the passangers is sick today
Fewer >> One - the verb is refers to singular, so we need to use singular pronoun
I asked my brother whom was on the phone
Whom >> who – Whom i sused in object case and with pronouns – we need a subject for the verb in the second clause
Jorge doesn´t have no bullets in his rifle
No >> any - we should avoid double negation in written English. We could use either has + no or negation + any
I am just a little confused whether or not to go on exam.
Whether to be or not to be – I know how it should be, but I cannot explain it :/
Having be a dancer myself, I have excellent posture
Having be >> beeing – but how to explain it ???
I never did like these kind of exercises
These >> that – but could it be also this if I were pointing at it?
Kind is singular, so we need a singular demostrative pronoun
You telling the truth is ..
You >> your – telling is a gerund, gerunds are used like nouns. We need a possessive pronoun
The bakery depends on meal beeing delivered without delay
Meal >> meal´s – beeing is a gerund, and meal refers to this gerund. We need to use a genitive form with „´s“
