Common questions

Powered by AI

The correct connector to complete the sentence is "because", making it: "Oanh failed the exam because he was very lazy."

The inappropriate connector in the sentence is "and." The sentence should indicate a contrast or contradiction in desires, so "but" would be more suitable: "Tom would love to play table tennis, but he has to complete his homework."

The best connector for the sentence is "so," which indicates purpose or result, making it: "Mary eats green vegetables, so she can get enough vitamins." This implies that the reason for eating vegetables is to obtain sufficient vitamins.

The most appropriate connector for the sentence is "and," resulting in: "We often have eggs and bread for breakfast." This is because "and" is used to list two items that commonly occur together, especially in the context of meal components.

The best connector to fill the blank is "but," leading to the sentence: "She can dance but she can’t sing." This shows a contrast between her ability to dance and inability to sing.

The connector "however" is inaccurately used here as it implies a contrast between the rain and not being able to go to the beach whereas it should indicate causation. "So" would be more suitable: "It's raining, so I can't go to the beach." This reflects the causal relationship correctly.

The corrected sentence using relative clauses could be: "He often tells me about his village, where he was born." The relative clause "where he was born" is used to give additional information about the village.

The two sentences can be combined using the relative pronoun "which," resulting in: "The book which you gave me yesterday is interesting." The relative pronoun links the two sentences, ensuring both elements are described in relation to each other.

The two sentences can be joined using the connector "but," forming: "I speak French, but I don’t speak English." The connector "but" is used to show contrast between speaking French and not speaking English.

The relative pronoun "whose" is appropriate here, resulting in: "The man whose son we play with every day is an engineer." "Whose" is used to show possession, linking "the man" and "his son."
