Show answers
- Her own response. Four sentences in the past tense are expected, each opened by a different sequencer, and "finally" only once and at the end.
- Their own answer. All three with "I didn't" and the base form of the verb: "I didn't go", never "I didn't went".
- Her own response. The body part is expected with the possessive, “my knee”, and the verb “hurt”, which does not change in the past tense.
- Their own answer. The verb has to match the sport: “play” with a ball, “go” with activities in “-ing”, “do” with the rest.
- Their own answer. In A2, it's enough to use "Did you…?" followed by the base form; past questions are dealt with in depth in unit 8.
