Monday

#### 1. Correct these sentences:

1. did you hear mother calling you to dinner

- Error: The sentence starts with a lowercase letter and uses "mother" without a capital or possessive.
- Correction:
→ Did you hear your mother calling you to dinner?
- Capitalize the first word ("Did").
- Add the possessive pronoun "your" before "mother" (since it’s not the speaker’s mother directly; it's more natural in English).
- Add a question mark at the end.

✔ Corrected sentence: *Did you hear your mother calling you to dinner?*

#### Fact or opinion?

4. Superman wears a blue suit and a red cape.

- This is a statement about a fictional character based on consistent depiction in media.
- It’s not something that can be proven true or false in reality — it's part of a story.
- But since it’s generally accepted as true within the fictional world, many educators consider this a fact in the context of the story.

However, in language learning, "fact" refers to something verifiable in real life. Since Superman isn't real, this is not a fact, but rather a statement of belief or fiction.

But here’s the key: In educational contexts like this, such statements about characters are often considered opinions because they depend on interpretation or source material.

✔ Answer: Opinion
(Rationale: It reflects a belief or description of a fictional character, not a verifiable truth.)

5. The grass is too long.

- This expresses a judgment about how long the grass is — “too” implies personal preference.

Tuesday

#### Circle the word that is spelled correctly:

1. tooda toda today today

- Correct spelling: today
- "toda" is Spanish for "today", but not English.
- "tooda" is made-up.

✔ Correct answer: today

2. bowl bowle baal boole

- Correct spelling: bowl
- "bowle" and "boole" are misspellings.
- "baal" is a name or deity, not related.

#### Correct these sentences:

3. me and marcos will ride the bus together

- Errors:
- "me" should be "I" as subject.
- "marcos" should be capitalized.
- Missing comma after "me and Marcos" (optional, but better style).
- "ride" is fine, but "will" is correct.

✔ Corrected sentence: *Marcos and I will ride the bus together.*

Note: We say "Marcos and I" (not "me and Marcos") because it's the subject of the sentence. Also, names are capitalized.

5. The door was ajar, and we felt a breeze from outside.
