Grammar
Assignment/problem sentences
Hi. Please help me with these.
1. Please form phrases/sentences with a word from the list.
Do you think the underlined part "a word" is correctly used here? Do you think it should be "words"?
Could we call the sentence "Please form phrases/sentences with a word from the list"? Normally we seem to see the word "instructions" in plural for this type of one-word directive wording. I am not sure I worded correctly to reflect what I wanted to say, though.
2. Which is not small?
a. a baseball b. a country c. the world
Should the answers be without articles?
a. baseball b. country c. world

Hi. Thank you. Please help me with these, too.
Do you think the underlined part should be the phrase "the correct forms" - and not the phrase "the correct form"?
Put the questions into the correct form to complete them.
How about this? Do you think the part underlined should be the phrase "the correct endiings"?
Please put the correct ending
