What did you do?” Lynne answered, “I went skiing in Montana. The snow was perfect.” Possible answers. There are many ways to report this, so answers will vary After Lynne said that she had had a wonderful vacation, Neil replied that that was good but then asked what she did, so Lynne answered that she had gone skiing in Montana and that the snow had been perfect. When Neil asked Lynne what she did on vacation, Lynne replied that she had had a wonderful vacation skiing in Montana because the snow had been perfect. Then Neil said that that was good.

Writing:

Test Example

Pretend you are interviewing a teacher at Laney College. Write two yes/no questions and two information questions. Include a noun clauses in one question. An adjective clause in another question. Gerunds or infinitives in another question. And Passive voice in the last question. Be able to write questions “Yes/No” or Information questions.


Know the question pattern for each type of question. Write the patterns here: Non “be” verb questions: Information: QW + HV + S + MV + …? Yes/No: HV + S + MV + …? Be verb questions: Information: QW + be + S + ….? Yes/No: be + S + …?

1. Noun clause: Can you tell me how long you have taught here?

2. Adjective clause: What is the name of the school you taught at last year?

3. Gerunds or infinitives: Do you intend to teach for many more years?

4. Passive voice: How many students were found cheating in your classes?

Editing: Be able to correctly edit circled mistakes using the process of the class. You will be able to use your tip worksheet here for writing the correct questions. Points for identifying the error, writing the correct question to focus your thinking, explaining what you need to do and telling why by using the context of the sentence. Practice: 1. I had bought a house since my first kid was born.

1. Conjunction mistake Do I need to show that this action happened before another action in the past? Yes I do. The “since” clause shows when the action first started, so the action of buying a house didn’t start before that. It wasn’t possible. “since” is a time word conjunction for present perfect. So I need to change the conjunction to “before” because the action of buying the house happened first: before my first kid was born.

I had bought a house before my first kid was born.
