Question 1

Sort these ordinary, non-emphatic questions by whether the question phrase asks about the subject doing the action or the object receiving it.

Question 2

The answer was: We had to take a longer route. Sort each possible follow-up by whether it explains this choice or gives a result of it.

Question 3

Check the main verb after did or did not in each past WH-question. Sort the questions by whether that verb has the correct form.

Question 4

Sort these sentences by whether they tell you how events finished or explicitly return to an earlier part of the account.

Question 5

Sort these details by the relationship they express: an unexpected contrast or an explicit order of events.

Question 6

Check the word order and any preposition in these past questions. Sort them into correct questions and questions that need correcting.
