1. Dad booked tickets before he collected them. What word do you need to add so the sentence will display the information properly

Explanation

The word "had" needs to be added to the sentence so that it displays the information properly. This is because "had" is the past tense of the verb "have" and is used to indicate that an action occurred before another action in the past. In this case, adding "had" before "booked" clarifies that Dad booked the tickets before he collected them.

2. Where will you place a comma in this sentence? Put down the whole sentence.

Explanation

The comma is placed after the introductory phrase "Full of enthusiasm" to separate it from the main clause "the children entered the room at the start of their lesson." This helps to clarify the sentence structure and indicate that the phrase is providing additional information about the subject of the sentence.

Submit
3. What word do you need to use to introduce the subordinate clause properly?

Explanation

Even though is the correct answer because it is used to introduce a subordinate clause that presents a contrast or contradiction to the main clause. It indicates that despite something being true or happening, there is still another fact or condition that is also relevant. The other options, such as "in addition," "furthermore," and "otherwise," do not serve the same purpose of introducing a subordinate clause that presents a contrast.

Submit
4. What word/s make this sentence a question?

Explanation

The word "shouldn't" in the sentence "shouldn't you" is a contraction of "should not" and indicates a suggestion or expectation. The word "you" is the subject of the sentence, indicating that the question is directed towards the listener. Together, these words form an interrogative sentence structure, making the sentence a question.

Submit
5. Where is the relative clause in this sentence?

Explanation

The relative clause in this sentence is "that was parked outside the shop." A relative clause is a type of subordinate clause that provides additional information about a noun or pronoun in the main clause. In this case, the relative clause is modifying an unspecified noun and giving more details about something that was parked outside the shop.

Submit
6. How can you rewrite this sentence so it will begin with the adverbial?

Explanation

The sentence "Before we left, we turned the lights off" can be rewritten as "Before we left, we turned off the lights." Both sentences have the same meaning and structure, but the second sentence begins with the adverbial phrase "Before we left."

Submit
7. Put down all the determiners in this sentence.

Explanation

The determiners in the sentence are "much," "the," and "a." Determiners are words that come before nouns and provide information about quantity, ownership, or specificity. In this sentence, "much" is a determiner that indicates a large quantity, "the" is a determiner that specifies a particular noun, and "a" is a determiner that indicates an indefinite noun.

Submit
8. Which of these sentences is grammatically correct?

Explanation

The correct answer is "The cake was lovely – delicious, in fact – so I had another slice." This sentence correctly uses dashes to set off the phrase "delicious, in fact" as an interrupter. The commas are also used correctly to separate the adjectives "lovely" and "delicious."

Submit
9. One of these events is the most likely to happen. Which one?

Explanation

Based on the given options, the event that is most likely to happen is "She will buy some new shoes today." This is because the statement is in the future tense and expresses a specific action that can be easily accomplished within a day. The other options involve possibilities or suggestions, which may or may not occur.

Submit
10. The sentence should be in the subjunctive mood. What word/s do you need to use?

Explanation

The correct answer is "were" because it is used in the subjunctive mood to express hypothetical or unreal situations. In this case, the sentence is likely referring to a hypothetical condition or possibility, which requires the use of "were" instead of "was."
