didn't like natto)

better to say (no she doesnt like natto) because we have here
the pronoun “she" right? We can use does or does not with the

YOU, WE, or THEY

Very good. But let’s practice this sentence one more time, you
said (students answer) but it’s better to say (correct answer)
because in the subject verb agreement rules that if the subject
is singular the verb must be singular too. But there’s an

EXERCISE
1. Teacher: Why does he need another slice of pizza?
*admins possible answer: (because he was hungry) (because
is he hungry)
Very good. But let’s practice this sentence one more time, you
said (students answer) but it’s better to say (correct answer)
Because he is hungry- the simple is that "is" is present tense
and "was" is past tense. If it’s happening now, you use "is”. If it
happened in the past, you use "was"
Because is he hungry- why? -because a grammar rule in
English, in learning the English language you will have the
subject and verb agreement. In subject verb agreement rule,
whenever you make a sentence it must be the subject first then
the verb
2. Teacher: Why do they need a new car?
Very good. But let’s practice this sentence one more time, you
said (students answer) but it’s better to say (correct answer)

Good job! Now let’s try to change okay? Or let’s go back to our
subject. So what is our subject? Or who is our subject? (They)
and what is the verb (like) okay so the subject is they and our
verb is like so we have to follow the subject verb agreement.
The subject could come first before the verb. Can you answer it
one more time?
Correct answer: (Because they like the new design.)

after me once.

the skill).

QUESTION:

1. What was daniels suggestion to ease the noise?

Ease- means to lessen or release


*admins possible answer: (He like to close the windows
to ease the noise)
Very good. But let’s practice this sentence one more time,
you said HE like to close the windows to ease the
noise. But it’s better to say "He’d like to close the
windows to ease the noise" that’s because the question
is asking WAS and that is past tense form. Right? So it
should be like this. He’d like to close the windows to ease
the noise. So, the answer should be in past tense form
also.
2. Did Olivia mind the suggestion? What kind of
comment did he make about the noise?
*admins possible answer: (No, she don’t) (yes, she did)
(She wonder what attract the noise)
