Welcome to the forum, E.d.

We like to help when we can, but we don't help with assignments, even checking them, until your teacher/tutor/professor has marked them. S/he wants to know what you can do wnot what we can do.

 

[E.d.]

Thanks for reply back. I can confirm that sentences 2, 3, and 4 have been checked and are correct. The issue is with sentences 1 and 5. I wanted to check that I had understood the structure and function correctly.

Please bear in mind that if you came to this site looking for answers to the grammar module and opt to copy these, the tutors are aware of these answers (and the ones on other sites as well). It is cheating to copy from websites and if you do, you will fail the quiz (and possibly the whole course) and not get a refund. Check the terms and conditions on plagiarism.

Study the grammar module - the answers are all in there - and do your own work. Your future students (and bosses) will expect you to be able to explain the grammar to them. Didn't you sign up for the course so that you would be able to do it well?
