BLD § 31 p. 15 Ex. II.1

Post by paulus »

Dear friends,
I don´t know English very well but I do think the key has some mistakes. I suggest this answer:

The sailor fights
The sailor is fighting
The sailor does fight
The sailors fight
The sailors arefighting
The sailors do fight

Best Regards

Paulus

Salve Paulus! You know English better than I do ;o)

The key has "II.1. The sailor fights / is fighting / does fight, the sailors fight / is fighting / does fight."

#1 - The sailor fights / is fighting / does fight. No problem.
#2 - The sailors fight / ARE fighting / DO fight. Agreement in case and number. You are correct. And this slipped right by me :mrgreen:
