LLN Grammar and Punctuation 2

Question 1

Which sentence is written in the passive voice?

Passive voice places the object of the action as the subject, using a form of 'to be' plus a past participle.

Question 2

Identify the correct use of 'their', 'there', or 'they're' in: '_____ going to submit _____ reports over _____.'

Accepted Answer

They're, their, there

Answer

'They're' (they are) + 'their' (possessive) + 'there' (location) fits the sentence correctly.

Question 3

Which sentence uses a semicolon correctly?

Accepted Answer

A semicolon joins two related independent clauses without a conjunction; both clauses here are complete sentences.

Answer

In a subjunctive mood clause following 'asked that', the base form 'submit' is required regardless of the subject.
