Hey guys,
I need a little help with my pre interview task. I have done most of it fine but there a few questions i am stuck on. I know what the answers should be but im struggling to explain why.
My answers are marked a,b,c below the questions
Look at the following learner errors and:
a. I didn’t talk to Angela yesterday
b. Past participle
c. We dont need to use past participle because we are speaking in the present tense even though we use yesterday
I worked really hardly and we got the contract.
a. I worked really hard and we got the contract
b. ?
c. ?
I have seen the film Titanic ten years ago.
a. I saw the film Titanic ten years ago
b. ?
c ?

- identify the pattern in English grammar that the learner is overgeneralizing.
- clarify why the pattern does not apply in this case.
