Introduction to Exercise 7 - Review: Fixing errors with verb forms |
| |
 |
|
| Before you hand in a paper, check to see that all verbs are in the correct form. Make sure that: |
| • |
Each verb has a final –s when it follows a subject that is or can be replaced by he, she, or it.
See Exercise 2. |
| • |
Past forms of verbs are used in sentences that describe past events.
See Exercise 3. |
| • |
The auxiliaries do, does, did, and modals such as should, could, must, and can are followed by the base form of the verb.
See Exercise 5. |
| • |
Gerunds (e.g., going) and infinitives (e.g., to go) are used correctly.
See Exercise 6. |
