At night, Edward dreams _______ dinosaur. (A) X (B)about (C)a (D)some .

Which answer do you think is correct?

By the way, I believe the final word should read dinosaurs.

You are right, I also think this sentence has some problems.

Thanks!

At night, Edward dreams _____ dinosaurs.

What do you think the correct answer is now, Joy?

See if you can guess.

Dear MrP,

To answer your question, my answer is (B), but the sentence is" At night, Edward dreams____ dinosaur".

The paper's answer is (C), that's why I feel a little confuse...

Thanks !

Joy

Hi Joy.

We can see why you are confused.

We also think B - 'At night, Edward dreams about dinosaurs.'

To say 'Edward dreams a dinosaur' makes no sense. The only way to make this work would be to say 'Edward dreams up (meaning 'invents' in his imagination) a dinosaur, but that still sounds odd. We don't really talk about dreaming up things in

Distinctly dodgy.

The only other alternative is "dreams of a dinosaur".

MrP

So the sentence should be written " At night, Edward dreams of ___ dinosaur. (A)X (B)about (C) a (D)some. " .

Thank you for your help^_^!

Joy
