Grammar

1. None of the available options are correct without creating a fragment - none introduce a subject to receive the verb to argue (none offer a subject that was arguing). A correct sentence would be something like, "I was angry when you saw me because I argued with my brother."
2. D, 'were going to' is right.
3. A, 'They denied having stolen the money.'

1. C, special needs.
2. D, conscientious.

Hope this helps.

Thanks.

In 1. I might have missed the I when copying it but I would have gotten it correct, although it took a while to figure it out. If you can, would you mind telling me why the other options are wrong? (Just imagine there is an I there :P)

3. Why is it not 'to have stolen'? I thought it was.

1. I was angry when you saw me because I _____ with my brother.
A have been arguing, B would argue, C had been arguing, D argued

I changed the question to include 'I'. With this question I would say that C made the most sense because 'had' conforms with the tense established by the previous half of the sentence ('I was angry').

With question 3 I'm not certain, I'd wait for a second opinion if anyone would like to reply.

Are you sure about them? I'm no expert but 2 and 3 sound very fishy to me...

No, not certain. Re-reading it a few times I might change my answer on 2. to 'used to go' because 'used to' seems to match the tense established by 'preferred'. Welcoming of corrections from a person with better knowledge.

So does were.

It's a past future or something.

Alright, please could someone correct those for me: (I've marked the answer I'd choose in red... or is it brown?...)
Oh and, please explain why on the first three.

1. I was angry when you saw me because _____ with my brother.
A have been arguing B would argue C had been arguing D argued

2. I much preferred it when we ____ Scotland every summer on holiday.
A used to go B have been going C had gone D were going to

3. They denied ____ the money.
A having stolen B to have stolen


Then there is choosing the right vocab (And I'd be glad if someone could point me into the direction of more exercise!):

1. Firstly, the system only views the weakest learners as having special ____.
A requests B desires C needs D wants

2. The brightest and most ____ students are not encouraged to develop their full potential.
A inattentive B unreliable C intensive D conscientious

Thank you very much!
I'm thankful also for more exercise of this kind if anyone got a link or something!

You're welcome.

I'm a grammar Nazi.

In English please?

All proper sentences need a subject and a verb, or else you aren't describing anything. The subject is a noun, like me or you, or a dog, or any object or thing. The verb is then something that is used to describe a quality of the subject, for example, "the dog is a golden retriever." The question required a subject to receive the verb ('argue') or else it wouldn't be a proper sentence (it'd be called a fragment). You can say "I argued yesterday," but not just "argued yesterday" as it wouldn't be a proper sentence because it lacks a subject that you are describing as having argued (though when saying "argued yesterday" in everyday conversation, the subject 'I' would be taken as implied).

Thanks! Do you know any grammar exercise websites or something? I gotta train a bit .

No, sorry

If you PM me with sentences you're not sure about I can help you out.

To be honest, this makes me realise that I can just tell if a sentence is grammatical or not, without knowing the precise rules which validate it.

By the way:

1) C
2) A
3) A

Yes but without validation it is really no use to me. :/

Thanks anyways for trying.
