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

00:05

jour brought to you by products that aren't as good

00:07

in real life Hint if you need to by now

00:10

It's probably safe to buy Never All right First read

00:13

the passage blow from a letter of complaint this's my

00:17

internet services yeah people complain about their service all the

00:21

time so we'd now click the drop down menu and

00:24

choose the option that correctly completes the sentence and the

00:27

options are okay Well it's not surprising The writer is

00:31

so angry if our internet died in the middle of

00:34

a netflix binge watching session well we'd be pretty kid

00:37

and in that case we'd probably hopped right to our

00:39

computers and send an angry email Uh but await the

00:42

internet down are furious couchsurfing writer is annoyed at his

00:46

premium internet service package which obviously fell far short of

00:51

00:54

it calls for a singular verb So answer is b

00:57

and e which are conjugated to a plural subject or

01:00

out right away Okay next one's both are correctly conjugated

01:04

to a singular verb but the internet meltdown is a

01:07

situation that happened in the past and is continuing into

01:10

the future much like ben stiller never quite leaves us

01:14

Answer is in the present tense So it's not correct

01:17

has fallen quite short which is written in the past

01:20

Perfect tense correctly shows that this is a past but

01:23

still ongoing problem Now hopefully this angry letter actually resolved

01:27

the issue because our seven angry e mails are still 00:01:30.201 --> [endTime] waiting to leave our outbox
