Hi,

Let me try.

The Bake Sale was held indoors lest it should rain.

Thanks. The answer given is

The Bake Sale was held indoors lest it rained. ( should it be \"rain\")? I am totally confused by \"lest\".

[henryjjl]

The given answer is incorrect.


It should be:

The Bake Sale was held indoors lest it rain.

After \"lest\", an infinitive without \"to\" should be used.

Hi all , need help on below synthesis question.


Qn: There is a great difference between the twins’ English marks.

Ans 1: The twins’ English marks has a great difference.

or

Ans 2: The twins’ English marks have a great difference.

Thanks

I think the focus here is ‘difference’ not the ‘marks of the twins’ so ans 1 is correct. In addition, the qn used ‘is’. (Can be a clue)

[Computer Addict]

I would suppose it’s answer 2, because there are 2 subjects at the beginning of the sentence. Not sure though.

Need help, in answering comprehension, if quoting a sentence, do we need to put a full stop within the quote n after the quote.
