SOS mum:

Hi, ps help on this S&T qn...Many thks:)


I am not going to bed. I am waiting for my mother to come home.

________________________________when________________________________________.

The closest I can get is \"I will go to bed when my mother comes home\"

That said, the synthesised answer makes an additional assumption that whoever spoke this would definitely sleep upon the mother's return, which is not present in the original statements. If my answer happens to be correct then this isn't a very well thought out S&T question.

Noted yr explanation...will update answer upon receipt of marked wksheet fm teacher. :thankyou:

1) Before Kelly showers, she …her lunch.


Is the answer "has" or "has had"

2) Tom barely passed his examinations, …he?

Is the answer "didn’t he" or did.

[Jamesbond]

1) He liked to exaggerate. It caused people to stop believing him.


Which is correct?
His exaggeration caused people to stop believing in him.

OR

His exaggeration caused people to stop believing him.

2) Ben asked Wendy, " why did you bring your dog here?"
Which is correct?
Ben asked Wendy why she had taken her dog there.

OR

Ben asked Wendy why she had brought her dog there.

[TheWriter]

has / didn’t he / the latter for both.

2) Tom barely passed his examinations, .........he?

Is the answer \"didn't he\" or did.

Hmm
1) has
2) I thought it should be 'did' because barely passed means almost didn't pass right? So its like saying \"Tom almost didn't pass his exams, did he?\"

Anyone else got any thoughts?

has/didn’t he?/believing him/taken her dog there.

Cheers!
