My son wrote 'upsets' too which is incorrect. Originally, he wrote 'upset' but he thought like you about 'the fact' bit.

The 'upset' in the question is in the past tense. Thus it should still remain as 'upset' (past tense).

I put upset at first, but then changed to upsets then changed to made me upset because it sounded more natural to me

the 'upsets' in the answer is not about the past or present form but the singular or plural. there is no past or present form in upset. both is still the same so it depends on the singular or plural of the subject[/quote]There's singular/plural form of upset? :?

There IS past and present form...base form > upset; simple past tense > upset; past particple > upset

The fact that he did not keep his promise made me upset. (past tense)

Option 1 : The fact that he did not keep his promise upset (past tense) me.

Option 2 : The fact that he did not keep his promise upsets (present tense) me.

I still think it's the first one. If it's the second option, I'll rejoice as that was my child's answer :oops: :lol: Any experts? :?:

Regardless of where Elsa goes, she has her handphone with her. (P.S. I can’t remember the exact question)


The tricky part is the word ‘where’, which is changed from ‘wherever’.

'He' is singular, but the 'upset' did not have the 's', so the 'upset' is past tense.

I went to put Option1 as my answer. At first I went to put Option2 but changed my mind. Option2 just doesn't sound right to me.

For Compo,I chose question 3.

That's my compo....

I like your compo, but i dont think its necessary to start your story in class, because it doesn't contribute to your content marks or anything.
