Final -s: Review & Practice Part 2

Review & Practice Part 2

Instructions This Review and Practice exercise is an opportunity for you to test your understanding of what you have studied in Chapter 11: Final -s. When the verb begins with a present tense form of the auxiliary to do, the -s is part of the word does. Turn each sentence into a question and then into a negative statement. 1. Roz earns money by washing windows. Quest: Neg:      2. Above the third floor, she wears one of those safety harnesses. Quest: Neg:      3. The views from there delight her. Quest: Neg:      4. The ships on the river look like toys. Quest: Neg:      5. She spies into the offices of some hot-shot executives. Quest: Neg:      When Barry McLean, a student, finished writing this paragraph (which will appear in the text area when you click the "paragraph" button), all the -s and -es endings were where they belonged. Now all the -s and -es endings for plural nouns have been removed. Put them back. Click on each word that requires an ending and rewrite the word correctly in ALL CAPS so it stands out from the other words.         That same student's next paragraph was written in the past tense. Change the past tense verbs to present tense verbs. Again, write your changes in ALL CAPS so the changed words stand out from the rest of the text.
