"He was responsible for painting the fence."

- Painting the fence was his __________________.

Resposta & Comentários:

* "Painting the fence was his responsibility." means the same thing.

* The word "responsible" is an adjective.

* The word "responsibilty" is a noun.

* We're changing it from the adjective "responsible" to the noun "responsibility".

(002) You have to rewrite the sentence so that both sentences have the same meaning:

"There's nothing better than hot chocolate on a cold day."(dérzNófênBérôr-dénRRátThókli-õnaKôlDêi)

- Hot chocolate on a cold day __________________.

Resposta & Comentários:

(003) You have to rewrite the sentence so that both sentences have the same meaning:

"I asked Johnny what he ate for breakfast."

(ái-Ésktch'Djõni-uárri'êi-fôr'BrékFést)

How do you complete the sentence below so that has the same meaning?

- I asked Johnny: "What _____ for breakfast?"

Resposta & Comentários:

*We're changing it from "indirect speech"(indôuRéktch-sPítch) to "direct speech"(dôuRéktch-sPítch).

* And this is something that you would do in grammar class all the time changing from "direct speech" to "indirect speech" or changing form "indirect speech" to "direct speech" and vice versa(éndVáisVôrsa).

* Remember since it is a direct quote alright it's almost like you are asking Johnny.

* So what is the question that you would say you wouldn't say , you know, WHAT DOES HE?, because again it is a direct quote, so you'd want say, you know, "I asked Johnny what did you eat for breakfast?", because the first one indirect "I asked Johnny what he ate for breakfast".

*We're changing that direct so what is the exact question  what did you eat for breakfast?

* It's a little tricky but remember keep in mind when you're changing it from indirect to direct be careful, be careful of that pronoun, especially in the question because I'm just asking well "What did you eat for breakfast?"

(004) You have to rewrite the sentence so that both sentences have the same meaning:

"You can miss class if you have a good reason."

(íukénMêsklás-êfiurrév-aGûdRízen)

How do you complete the sentence below so that has the same meaning?

" _____ unless you have an excuse."

Resposta & Comentários:

* So in this case again this is why it really helps you fluency because you've got to think about the grammar but you also may need to make sure that you understand the vocabulary because that is that's going to influence the meaning, the words that you're going to use.

* So you're just going to say the opposite.(Sô-iúdjisgonãsêi-di-ÂpôSSé)

* If we're talking about 'you have an excuse' then you'd say well "You can't miss class unless you have an excuse".
