Hi everybody!
I �m checking the activities for the 8th grade exam we are having on Saturday...
We are having the Ss writing to friends according to given hints
Which one is correct?
- Tell your friend how the holiday is or
Tell your friend how is the Holiday
- Tell your friend how long you are staying or
Tell your friend how long are you staying
- Talk about the place where you ate or
Talk about the place where did you eat
we don �t completely agree!
Thanks so much!

The correct sentences are:
Tell your friend how the holiday is.
Tell your friend how long you are staying.
Talk about the place where you ate.
Because they are not direct questions(--> e.g. how long are you staying?)
you must not use interrogative form(--> are you staying?) but affirmative (--> you are staying).

Agree with Theo. Also - and more natural to the English ear, �tell your friend what the holiday is like. � or �tell your friend about the holiday. �
�Talk about where you ate out. �

Cheers! |
