is it right?

We use the auxiliary verbs in the Affirmative form when we want to give emphasis. So I think it is wrong if we want to grammatically accurate. Otherwise there is nothing wrong with it.

I know that there is nothing wrong with it gramatically but after all lessons and worksheets on Past tense, and after I am sure that it is done unconsiously , still is it fair to mark it right? Then doesn �t it mean don �t pay attention to the structures that you have learnt in the lesson?

Thanks...

I agree with kmtr on this one. What the student wrote is grammatically correct, whether it follows the instructions depends on the instructions. If in doubt I would give the student the point.

If it �s grammatically correct but doesn �t follow your instructions give them half a point, otherwise mark it correct. There is more than one way to answer a question and we should encourage initiative.
