hi bakebean,


nope...did not call the helpdesk...

anyway, will log in again tonight to attempt the rest of the assignments & see if i encounter any problems.. :xedfingers:

so far DS has no hardcopy homework brought back other than the weekly spelling & tingxie. his stellar worksheets are all done in class, his chinese activities are done in class too.

[poppy15]

to continue, i send an email to his FT & got a reply. She assured me DS's marks or report will not be affected in anyway. She has sent my feedback to mconline.


all these assignments are given till end of march to complete. do it at your own pace. :rahrah: at least DS will not be stress out to complete everything all at once.

hi all, can u help out?


DS was doing his mconline assignments last night. We were practicing on Plural Pronouns.

Fill in the blanks with They, We or You.

1. He is not a principal. You are not a principal too.

_____ are not principals

2. You are a soldier. He is a soldier too.

_____ are soldiers.

I am very dumbfounded with the given answer. It was given as \" You \" for the above 2 questions. Can anyone enlighten me? Why isnt the answer \" We\" since they have indicated you in the question?

Somehow, i believe the given answer is wrong. :scratchhead:

Poppy, good morning :hugs:
I am not an expert in this area but would like to try to give the explanation in my own understanding

In the above 2 examples, they did not use the pronoun \"I\" so can't use the answer \"WE\". So, to say since \"I\" is not in the sentence then one can't use \"WE\" but \"They\".

I hope I am not confusing you further

Thanks Champ jie...


but \" They \" also wrong.... the answer was given as \" You \" instead...

[SAHM_TAN]

Strange why are the answers "you" when the nouns are plural?

Think 'you' can also refer to more than one person, like 'both of you', '你们'.
