Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:05

jour brought to you by verb tense because there's a

00:08

difference between we'll do the laundry and did do it

00:11

Yeah laundry way Know that phrase Okay well first read

00:15

the pastor blow from a press release on that spread

00:21

Terrible Write that story Okay well now click to drop

00:26

down many when choose the option that correctly completes the

00:28

sentence And the options are well like this Typhoon strike

00:33

drunkard Okay while creating agreement between subjects and verbs can

00:41

be tricky and adding a proposition can make matters even

00:45

more difficult in this sentence the phrase like this typhoon

00:49

serves as a proposition a ll phrased that points out

00:52

a similarity between this and other natural disasters This means

00:57

that the subject of the sentences actually natural disasters meaning

01:03

we've got more than just the typhoon to worry about

01:06

So the verb of the sentence should congregate to the

01:08

plural disasters not the singular typhoon So this makes being

01:13

correct and the verb shouldn't be in the past tense

01:16

We're talking about natural disasters happening now not in the

01:19

past so get rid of c and answer d striking

01:24

lacks a verb tense altogether It's just wrong like a

01:27

leopard print man bikinis is wrong Answer a correctly matches

01:31

the plural verb strike for the plural subject Natural disasters

01:36

it's The correct answer See aren't you glad we took

01:39

the timeto talk about tenses now you might want to

01:42

take some time to address the laundry situation before that 00:01:44.938 --> [endTime] gets a little too tense as well
