Nicole (6B): 5.5 / 12 = 46% 

You need to try again. (1) Pay attention to the order of the words: In an affirmative or negative sentence it's Subject + Verb NOT Verb + Subject. (2) The verb in the beginning (= começo) of a question is the verb in the short answer (Does he like...? Yes, he does. / Are they...? No, they aren't.) I hope this helps.

Congratulations for doing the exercise!  :-)

 

Catarina (6B): 5.3/12 = 44%

You can try again. You will have (= terás) a better score (= pontuação melhor) if you answer all (= responderes a todas) the questions. You missed (= falhaste) 4 answers. (1) No the before names of people. (2) Remember the s in the S. Present with he, she , it (he plays).

Congratulations for doing the exercise!  :-)

Marta (6B): 10/12 = 83%

Marta, you did very well. Feedback/Explanations about my correction: (1) In the "Who are they?" question I was looking for their names, their identification, so I gave you half the points when you answered "They are friends". (2) In the "What nationality is he?" question the answer is "He" and not "It". (3) In the "Does Daisy know Tom?" question, it's "No...." at the beginning of the dialogue, because she only met him (= o conheceu) during this conversation.

Good work!  :-)

 

16Mar08

Cláudia (6A):  8/12 = 67%

Claúdia, (1) pay attention to the verb in the question and if it's singular or plural (... are there? It's...). (2) The expression "What's Tom like?" means "How is Tom?". "Is" is the verb form in the question, so... use "is" in the answer, not "likes". (3) Pay attention to the subject in the question: "Tom" is not "it". (4) Always remember the "s" in the S. Present, 3rd person singular. You only missed one.

I'm sure you can improve your score.   :-)

Ana Margarida (6B): 10/12 = 83%

Margarida, (1) in question 4 there is an "or" (at home or at school), so the answer must be complete, NOT "yes/no". (2) Nationalities are with a Capital letter (American), but I didn't take out (= retirar) any points. (3) In the "Does Daisy know Tom?" question, it's "No...." answer, because she only met him (= o conheceu) during this conversation. I admit this is a dubious question.

Good job! Keep it up!

You sang very well in the school karaoke competition. Congratulations! :-))  Did you read my post in the Have Fun with English! 3 blog? Please go there.
