[Lesson 6] Homework

Hi Carrie! You\'ve got 4 incorrect answers in this homework. I will explain it to you.

5. You should use \"are\" since \"glasses\" is a plural word.

6. You should use \"funds\" since the organization is expecting to have a big amount of money to support the project. So literally, you need to use its plural form.

7. A sentence with the phrase \"A number of\" needs a PLURAL verb while a sentence with the phrase \"The number of\" needs a singular verb.

9. \"doesn\'t\" is for singular and \"don\'t\" is for plural. HALF OF THE STUDENTS needs a plural verb.

I believe that you will do better next time. Have a great time and see you! ^^
