📝 6. Open-Ended Questions
1. Write an affirmative sentence using 'like' and an activity. Then, change that sentence into a negative sentence.
💡 Solution Steps:
Step 1: Write an affirmative sentence. For example, 'I like reading books.' Step 2: Change the affirmative sentence to a negative sentence by adding 'don't' or 'doesn't'. For 'I', we use 'don't'. Solution: Affirmative: 'I like reading books.' Negative: 'I don't like reading books.'
2. Rewrite the following sentence to make it negative: "My friends enjoy playing outside."
💡 Solution Steps:
Step 1: Identify the verb 'enjoy' and the subject 'My friends'. Step 2: To make it negative, add 'don't' or 'doesn't' before 'enjoy'. Since 'My friends' is plural, we use 'don't'. Solution: 'My friends don't enjoy playing outside.'
3. Explain why we add '-ing' to verbs after 'like,' 'love,' or 'enjoy.' Give an example.
💡 Solution Steps:
Step 1: Understand that 'like,' 'love,' and 'enjoy' are often followed by a gerund, which is a verb form ending in '-ing' that acts like a noun. Step 2: The '-ing' form shows the action or activity that is liked, loved, or enjoyed. Solution: We add '-ing' to verbs after 'like,' 'love,' or 'enjoy' because these verbs are usually followed by a gerund. A gerund is a verb that acts like a noun, describing the activity. For example, in 'She loves swimming,' 'swimming' is the activity she loves.
