SA2 paper from DD’s P2 English
"Willy and Hugh were goog friends. One day, Hugh came over to Willy’s house to play. Willy’s parents were out to visit a relative. They were playing hide-and-seek in the kitchen when they heard some strange noices. Both of them were frightened. They looked around. Everything in the kitchen was in order. Where did the sounds come from? They had no idea. Hugh dragged Wllly into the bedroom and hid themselves under the blanket. They listened carefuly. They could not hear the sounds any more. Willy decided to play card games with Hugh under the blanket. After an hour, they yawned and fell asleep under the blanket.
The familiar sound of jingling keys, unlocking the front door, woke Willy. He got out of the bed happiyly and went to open the door."
The last question is
"Why was Willy happy to hear the jingling sound of keys?" -
Are these grammatical correct?
“You go and have a look.”
“You go and brush your teeth.”
They sound like direct translated from CL :?
你去看一看, 你去刷牙
Is ‘go and’ necessary?
How it should be phrase?
TIA -
"Why was Willy happy to hear the jingling sound of keys?"
"jingling sound of keys" indicates Willy’s parents are back home, thus he is happy. -

You have the correct answer.\"Why was Willy happy to hear the jingling sound of keys?\"
\"jingling sound of keys\" indicates Willy's parents are back home, thus he is happy.
My DD just answered \"The jingling sound was familiar\".
I do not know how to answer this either. As this passage talked so many sounds, how can you tell this jingling sound is from his parents? Could not be someone else trying to break into the house?
Is Willy too rush to go to open the door? -
\"The familiar sound of jingling keys, unlocking the front door, woke Willy.\"
familiar is the key word - the sound of the jingling keys is familiar to Willy, he must have heard this sound many many times, probably from his parent bunch of keys...
If it is someone else trying to break into the house - the sound of \"break into the house\" will not be familiar to Willy.
This is just my 2 cents... Hope it helps... -
atutor2001:
Many misunderstood that the use of simple past tense is limited to a past action. The more subtle meaning of simple past tense is that \"what is said is no longer true.\" For example...
Interesting
