Question 2

You hear the words: 'meeting / attended / employees / the'. Which is the correct sentence?

'The employees attended the meeting' follows standard Subject-Verb-Object word order. The subject is 'the employees', the verb is 'attended', and the object is 'the meeting'.

Question 3

You hear: 'quickly / finished / she / project / the'. Which is the best sentence?

Accepted Answer

She quickly finished the project.

Adverbs like 'quickly' typically come before the main verb or after the subject. 'She quickly finished the project' places the adverb between the subject and verb for natural-sounding English.
