0 / 5 sets sorted0%

Question 1

Sort each activity by whether it is described as ongoing now or at a past moment. In a contrast, classify the final clause.

Question 2

Sort by whether the sentence says the activity is happening now or denies that it is happening now. In a contrast, classify the final clause.

Question 3

Sort by the negative construction used for the final activity. Ignore any negative in an earlier clause.

Question 4

Sort by whether the progressive predicate explicitly honors the person doing the action; all sentences are polite to the listener.

Question 5

Sort by what each sentence describes: a repeated habit, an action unfolding now, a property or location, or a single event expected soon.
