Practice 빈칸 채우기
- We at home last night.Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is b) were 정답은 b) were입니다.With "we", we use "were".주어가 we이므로 were가 맞습니다.
- The test easy. It was so hard!Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is b) wasn't 정답은 b) wasn't입니다.The next sentence says the test was hard, so we need the negative "wasn't".뒤 문장에서 시험이 아주 어려웠다고 하므로 부정 wasn't가 맞습니다.
- you tired yesterday?Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is c) Were 정답은 c) Were입니다.With "you", we use "were". "Tired" describes a state, so we use "be", not "Did".주어 you에는 were를 씁니다. tired는 상태를 나타내므로 Did가 아니라 be동사를 씁니다.
- The trip was a lot of .Correct! 정답입니다!The answer is a) fun 정답은 a) fun입니다."Fun" means enjoyable. "Funny" means something makes you laugh.fun은 '재미, 즐거움', funny는 '웃기는'이라는 뜻입니다. 여행이 즐거웠다는 말이므로 fun이 맞습니다.
