uitleg over waarom en hoe we short answers maken

oefenen met short answers

Doelen

Ik kan uitleggen waarom we short answers gebruiken.

Ik kan short answers maken met to be.

Ik kan short answers maken met hulpwerkwoorden.

Hoe weet ik of ik een positief of negatief short answer moet geven?

Meestal geven wij met + aan dat je short answer positief moet zijn en met - dat het negatief moet zijn.

Doen wij dat niet? Dan zijn er aanwijzingen om het antwoord heen die verklappen dat het enige logische antwoord positief of negatief moet zijn.

Let's do this!

Here are ten questions to which you have to give a short answer.

Vergeet de hoofdletters, komma's en punten niet!

Question: Does she know the recipe?
Answer : ...(+)....

Question: Was Kate hungry?
Answer: ...(+)...

Question: Could they call me ?
Answer: ...(-)...

Question: Have Mark and Sara been to London?
Answer: ...(-)...

Question: Were you asleep at 3 a.m.?
Answer: .... I brought my sister to the airport.

Question: Was Mehmet tired?
Answer: ... But he isn't now.

Question: Must Tom and I really go?
Answer: ... If you promise to tell her you're staying.

Question: Will Harry be in Paris tomorrow?
Answer: ... He will be in London.

Question: Are you always this clever?
Answer: ... I always know the right answer!

Those were the exercises!
