using exercises from other user īs ws to create my own.
 
Hi guys!
quick technical question.
I have created a WS and in it I have included 2 exercises from a ws that I downloaded from the site. The rest of the WS however (which is most of it) I have done myself.
Now, how to avoid ppl saying it is stolen?
Do I simply aknowledge the source of those two exercises?
the problem with this is that I don īt remember anymore who the user is!
can I only say something like "adapted from a ws downloaded from ESLPrintables" or something?
Thanks for your help!!! :o)

H I, i think you should find who is s/he? Because it can be unacceptable to use someone else īs exercise unless you take a permission

"H I, i think you should find who is s/he?"
Better: "I think you should find who he/she is."
Thank you.

If you can īt remember - or find them on search function - just say adapted from an esl worksheet.

If the majority of the work is your own - i don īt see what the problem is.

People have suggested that you also use your own formatting - rather than taken formatting from other people...

Why not write something like: "Please, if you recognize your exercises, contact me as I would like to give the link to YOUR worksheet!!" Wink It is great to work as a team!

thanks guys.
I have found the user and I have asked permission to use her exercises quoting the source.
the formatting is my own, I have only used an exercise amongs others which are my own.
so hope to upload the ws soon! :o)

My dear, we don īt say "H I, i think you should find who is s/he?" . This is an indirect question, so, you write the subject before the verb, ok? Like is: I think you shoul find who - the subject: he or she, whatever, and the verb: is. That īs what I meant, sound and clear. Thank you and have a good day.
Big smile
