Use the skills in a new task

Make a short complete response demonstrating the four skills in this unit. Rewrite: Yesterday I go home. Expected: Yesterday I went home. Add an adjective to home or a nearby noun, an adverb describing went, and a because reason. Write a question about the same event with a question mark. Longer writing targets in optional extensions can be completed in a later session.

Work on paper or in your own document. Explain the choices you made.

  • Locate the stated past verb and match it to its base form. Use the two forms in present and past sentences.
  • Find the word the highlighted description belongs to. Decide whether it modifies an object or an action.
  • Find the connector and say what it tells about the two parts. Try restating that relation in your own words.
  • Read the sentence and name its purpose before checking its punctuation. Use a suitable voice.
Compare with a model response

Yesterday I went to the quiet home slowly because it rained. Went is the irregular past of go. Quiet describes home, so it is an adjective; slowly describes went, so it is an adverb. Because connects the action to its reason. My question is: Did I go home yesterday? It ends with a question mark. I do not write goed or wented.

A different response can also meet the criteria. Compare the evidence and reasoning, rather than copying the wording.
