Tips for Good Reviews:
Be Specific
- Give useful suggestions and examples.
- Write more than just brief comments like “Good job” or “Needs work".
Make Corrections
- Use the editing features to apply strikethrough, bold or different font colors.
- Use the virtual keyboard to insert special characters in your reviews.
Teach by Example
- Review a speaking exercise by recording your own audio comment.
- Focus on correct pronunciation and speaking patterns.
Excellent. Just remember to write with capital letters and full stops.
She is tall. She is not short. He is not poor. He is rich. He is not a girl. He is a boy. The woman is short. The woman is not a tall. You are not a man. You are a woman. You are not a girl. You are a boy.
Each pair of ideas you express should be written as two separate sentences. For example:
"She is tall. She is not short."
This could also be expressed in a single sentence by using a semicolon (;) since the two ideas are related (they describe the same person). For example:
"She is tall; she is not short."
English makes very frequent use of articles, both the direct article ("the") and the indirect articles ("a," "an," "some"). Many languages are much more relaxed in their use of articles; some languages do not even have equivalent words for them, but in English their use is often mandatory:
"He is not a girl. He is a boy." You did use the article before the word "boy"; you must also use the article before the word "girl."
We don't, however, use articles before adjectives. For example, you wrote:
"The woman is short. The woman is not a tall." Here, "tall" is an adjective describing the woman. We need to remove the article in this case: "The woman is not tall."
Good work! Keep studying!
Hello. How are you? So, you must start the sentences with capital letters and put a dot(.) in the end of each sentence, too. For exemple: She is tall, she is not short. The woman is not tall. You wrote: The woman is not A tall( you don't use A). Gril= Girl. But that's good. See you. Jana.
he is not a girl.
the woman is not tall.
