Hi teachers,
Context;
Out in the road Adam said, Stupid old woman!
‘Yes,’ Felix said.‘Perhaps she was… and perhaps she wasn’t.’

According to the above context, the following question and answer would be correct, won’t they?
Did Felix say that Marta was a stupid old woman?
No. He only said that perhaps se was.

Thanks in advance.

All good, aside from one small typo in a personal pronoun.

*****NOT A TEACHER *****


Hello, Learning:

I know what a wonderful teacher you are, so I am always worried that one of your students might say, "Teacher, I think that you have made a mistake."

Since I know from past experience that you welcome input from all members, may I most respectfully point out a tiny

mistake in your tag question:

The following question and answer would be correct, wouldn't they?


Sincerely yours,


James
