Title: Lesson 10
Description: It's a little different

Okay, I'll be doing this lesson a little differently. I want you guys to do the work this time. Proofread ch119. Look for any mistakes. In particular, look for singular/plural verb agreements (hint hint). But this doesn't mean there are other types of mistakes. There ARE some mistakes. If you can't find any, post that you couldn't find any.

(Hopefully this will work...)

I won't post any insights until either someone gives me some correct answers, or I feel no one can do it. I'll give ample time because this is vacation time and some people are not here right now.

Chapter 119, Page 16, Frame 6, Bubble 2:

used: "There is a few things we want to ask you about"

suggested: "There are a few things we want to ask you about."

***

Chapter 119, Page 14, Frame 3, Bubble 1: Awkward sounding sentance.

used: "Furthermore, although it seems that, due to such high levels.. or perhaps because of the unrealistic match contents (->) there were some who believed that this was a fake performance done by the tournament officials.."

suggested: "Furtheromore, it seems that due to such high skill levels, or perhaps because of the unrealistic seeming contents of the matches (->) there are some who believe that this has been a performance orchestrated by the tournament officials."

(->) = moves into other half of connected bubble.

***

Chapter 119, Page 16, Frame 8, Bubble 2: comma usage?

used: "This child is not just a student requiring special attention, she's dangerous!!"

suggested: "This child is not just a student requiring special attention; she's dangerous!!"

***

I'll look for more errors later. I've gotta' clean the house for a Christmas party on Sunday.

Don't ask me to prufrid...I still have a deep wound, ya know <.<

I've taken a fast look to the chapter, and there's just one thing I've noticed:

PAGE 17-P3-B2:

-If the existence of individuals with such amazing powers WERE kept secret...-

I suppose that it should be WAS , since the existence is singular, but prolly I'm wrong <.<, so forget what I've said >.>

------------------------------

Another thing that leaves me kinda =/

PAG 15-P3-B3 (the smaller one)

AH?! HE VANISHED!!(PAST)HOW DOES HE DO IT!?(PRESENT)

an HOW DID HE DO IT would fit like a glove in that bubble, you know??

Correct.

That one changes too much. I agree it's awkward sounding but the original was technically already correct. Yours is also correct.

Very good.

You're right.

Both of them are correct. The original is more of a statement of amazement while yours is jsut asking how he did it. (I like the original more.)
