Step-by-step solution for: Indefinite Pronouns Board Game
This is a board game designed to practice English grammar, specifically focusing on indefinite pronouns (words like *someone, anything, nobody*) and question tags.
To "solve" this, we need to fill in the missing words for each square on the board. Here are the correct words to complete the sentences, grouped by how they appear on the board (starting from the top left and moving through the path).
1. START: Would you like anything else sir?
2. GO AHEAD 2 SPACES
3. I have something to declare.
4. Has anyone seen the new Brad Pitt film?
5. Did anyone knock at the door?
6. LOSE A TURN
7. If there is anything you need you can call me.
8. Get out! It’s nothing to do with you.
9. GO AHEAD 3 SPACES
10. Take this bag and leave it alone to me. *(Note: This sentence structure is slightly awkward, usually "leave it with me", but based on pronoun exercises, it might be testing object pronouns or just "leave me alone". Given the context of "Take this bag", "leave it with me" is likely intended, but if strictly pronouns: "leave me alone" fits the phrase better. Let's look closer. Actually, looking at the pattern, it's likely: "Take this bag and leave me alone." OR "leave it here." Let's stick to standard indefinite/object pronouns. A common phrase is "Leave me alone." Let's assume me or it.)*
*Correction*: Looking at similar exercises, "Take this bag and leave it with me" is common. But the text says "leave ___ alone to me." This is grammatically strange. It might be "leave it alone" (don't touch it) but "to me" doesn't fit. Let's re-read carefully. Ah, it says "leave ___ alone with me"? No, it says "to me". Let's look at another possibility. Maybe it's not an indefinite pronoun. Let's skip and come back.
*Alternative*: "Take this bag and leave it here." No, text is fixed.
*Let's look at the next one:*
11. There isn’t anything worth watching on TV tonight.
12. The doctors did everything they could to save her but she died.
13. LOSE A TURN
14. There is something about this place that frightens me.
15. Did you bring everything you needed for the trip?
16. My friend’s decisions have nothing to do with me.
17. I know I put my keys somewhere!
18. Would you like something to drink?
19. The fridge is empty. There’s nothing there.
20. GO AHEAD 2 SPACES
21. I didn’t know about the test. Nobody told me.
22. Are you going anywhere for the holidays?
23. He would do anything for his teacher.
24. LOSE A TURN
25. I can’t find Dad; he’s nowhere in the house!
*Let's trace the path from START -> Go Ahead 2 -> "I have something..." -> Go Ahead 3 -> "Has anyone..." -> "Did anyone..." -> Lose Turn -> "If there is anything..." -> Go Ahead 3 -> "Get out! It's nothing..." -> "Take this bag..." -> "There isn't anything..." -> "The doctors did everything..." -> Lose Turn -> "There is something..." -> "Did you bring everything..." -> "My friend's decisions have nothing..." -> "I know I put my keys somewhere!" -> "Would you like something..." -> "The fridge is empty. There's nothing..." -> Go Ahead 2 -> "I didn't know... Nobody told me." -> "Are you going anywhere..." -> "He would do anything..." -> Lose Turn -> "I can't find Dad... nowhere..." -> "That box is empty; there's nothing in it." -> "Listen! There's someone in the garden." -> "Does anyone want a game of tennis?" -> Go Ahead 3 Spaces -> "What's that smell? Can you smell something burning?" -> "I heard it somewhere." -> "Did anyone phone while I was out?" -> "She left her bag somewhere." -> "There isn't anyone here who can help you." (Wait, "There ___ anyone here". Likely isn't or is no. Given pronoun focus: is no one? Or just isn't. Let's look at the blank: "There ___ anyone here". It needs a verb + negative. isn't. Or if it's "There is anyone", that's wrong. So isn't.)*
*Actually, let's look at the square: "There ___ anyone here who can help you." The answer is likely isn't.*
*Continuing the inner path:*
* "Do you want anything from the shop?"
* "What do you want to supper? I don’t mind anything."
* "You can eat what you like. I’ll eat anything."
* "Go away! Leave me alone!" (Or somebody? No, "Leave me alone" is the phrase. But if it must be an indefinite pronoun, maybe everybody? No. Let's assume alone is the target word, or perhaps somebody wants to talk? No, "Go away" implies wanting solitude. So alone.)
*Wait, looking at the square: "Go away! Leave me ___!" The word is likely alone.*
* "Her father didn’t know anything about it."
* "You don’t know anything about my life!"
* "Please ___, mind ___ I open the window?" -> "Please do, mind if I open the window?" (This seems to be testing auxiliary verbs/prepositions, not just pronouns. Or maybe "Please sit, mind you..."? Let's look closer. "Please ___, mind ___ I open the window?" Common phrase: "Do you mind if I open the window?" So maybe: "Please wait, mind if..."? This one is tricky without clearer context. Let's look at the other squares nearby.)
* "I’m leaving tomorrow morning so will you water my plants?" (No blank).
* "Can’t you find anyone to help you?"
* "I had somewhere else to do, so I went to the cinema." -> Wait, "I had something else to do". Yes.
* "GO AHEAD 2 SPACES"
* "___ you stay will change what he thinks." -> "Wherever you stay..." or "Whoever you stay with..."? The blank is before "you stay". Maybe "Where you stay"? Or "How long you stay"? Given the pronoun theme, maybe "Whoever"? No, "Whoever you stay" is incorrect. "Wherever you stay" works. Or simply "If you stay"? Let's assume Wherever or Whatever. Actually, looking at the grammar: "___ you stay will change..." Subject clause. "Where you stay" is a noun clause. So Where.
* "I know nothing about films, because I prefer books."
* "FINISH"
