Homework Help: Grammar

Posted by Leslie on Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 7:54pm.

This is a backwards Hw. They give us the answers and we have to come up with questions for each. The questions should be about homophones, adjectives and adverbs, pronouns,appositives, and count/noncount nouns. They could be multiple choice, fill in the blanks or anything else.

Here are the answers:
1) yes
2) she and I
3) Quickly
4) Advice
5) accept
6) its
7) there
8) The man to whom you spoke
9) Because it doesnt agree with the antecedent
10) Fewer

I'll get you started:

1) Adverbs tell where, when, why, how, and to what extent.

2) Which is correct?
Her and me are going shopping.
She and me are going shopping.
She and I are going shopping.
She and me are going shopping.

We'll be glad to check your questions.

6) Snoopy often sleeps on top of (it's, its) dog house.

The contraction "it's" means it is.
The possessive pronoun is "its."

so I can put which of the two is a possesive pronoun as a question.

Yes, you could ask that, or you could ask the student to choose the correct word in the sentence.

Thank you so much! One last question =) What part of speech is there?
Grammar - Ms. Sue, Tuesday, July 20, 2010 at 9:14pm
You're very welcome.

"There" is usually used as an adverb, but it can be used as a pronoun, noun, adjective, or interjection.
