Hi,

Yes, that's OK.

Or you might just say 'Select . . . ', if the button is obvious.

Hi Clive,
I won't say it at all in the exercise. I just wanted to know if the 'correct answers' can include all these parts of speech.

a) Will it also work with this one? Because the answers are all information questions.
b) Do I need to write something before 'There are three books on the desk.'?

“There are three books on the desk.”
Click on the button next to the correct answer.
A	What are they on the desk?	C	What is there on the desk?
B	What are there on the desk?	D	What there is on the desk?

The correct answer is the correct answer.
If it's Mrs. O'Leary's shoe size or a preposition or the height of the Empire State building, it's the correct answer.
So, YES, the correct answer can include all these parts of speech.
It's either correct or incorrect.

b) Do I need to write something before 'There are three books on the desk.'?

“There are three books on the desk.”
Click on the button next to the correct question about this statement..
A	What are they on the desk?	C	What is there on the desk?
B	What are there on the desk?	D	What there is on the desk?

Because the 'answer' is a question, I suggest the text in red.

You really only need to say this once, at the start of the 'chapter'.

Hi Clive,
Thank you very much for your reply. This is it!

That's what I meant. 'Correct answers' can apply to verbs, prepositions, adjectives, adverbs, statements, etc, but not questions.
'Click on the button next to the correct question about this statement' works a lot better for questions that the prior one.

Best,

Sorry TS - I believe Clive and I were writing at the same time and our posts crossed. Excuse me.
