Thank you. I got 10 out of 10.
you are the best eng teacher i have ever seen
Rebecca thank you for the lesson but I didn’t understand case 9. I thought it will be “`What did happen”? With hard work, I brought the idea to
fruition.
The correct is to say: “What did it happen?” You need the subject, so What did happen? is incorrect.
Sorry, I made a mistake because as happen isn’t a transitive verb, it cannot take an object.
Hi there.
When we ask about the subject of a setence we don’t need did, do or does:
Sara came. ( Who came?)
A car accident happened . ( What happened?)
She helped the old man. ( Who helped the old man?) The best
Thank a lot

Thanks for your hard work, I have a question.
What does the past simple tense of “is/are” mean?
For example, I went to a beach. The coastline was very scenic.
Does “The coastline was very scenic” mean that it is not scenic anymore?
If the coastline still is scenic, is it right to use the past tense?
Thank you, nice lessons Rebecca
