    The only mistake I had was in exercise 19 with the verb ''to be told''. The rest are well done except the fact that in the first few exercises instead of using me I used they/them, is that a mistake if the rest of the exercise is well done?

      Hi Lola!

      Not really. I wouldn't worry about that. Tomorrow's test is a multiple choice, you won't have that problem.

      Hi Carmelo,
      6. Beg ( somebody) to do something. Va seguido de infinitivo, así que no hay manera de encajar ahí un "don't".
      Study hard for tomorrow, you can do it!
      regards,

      Hello Ana,

      4. significa "cállate o te castigo". la frase . constituye una amenaza , por eso el verbo es Threaten (amenazar). Ese verbo va seguido de to +INF.
      The teacher threatened to punish me...
      19. She demanded to be told the truth, significa: " ella exigió que se le dijera la verdad". se escribe "to be told" , que es una estructura pasiva porque la frase no ha mencionado ningún sujeto. Por eso cambiamos tell a pasiva.

      Espero haberte resuelto la duda.

      Un saludo,
      Arantxa

    I have had failures in:
    8. I have put "hadn't" instead of "us to" and I don't know why.
    19. I have put "to tell" instead of "to be told" I don't know why the to be is.
    I've had little bugs like "my" on 7, 11, and 18.

      Hi Mireia!
      Forbid/ forbade/forbidden va seguido de "objeto", en este caso "us" y después de "to INF". La frase significa. " Madre nos prohibió (forbade us) llegar después de las 11 ( to come home after eleven).

      19.La razón por la que usamos "to be told" en lugar de "to tell" en ese ejemplo es que la frase tipo no te especifica a quién le dice ella " tell me the truth" Al ser un imperativo , no se menciona el sujeto. Por eso la cambian a pasiva " to be told" , para expresar la acción y el resultado y no tener que inventarnos un sujeto.
      Espero haberte resuelto la duda.
      regards,
      Arantxa

    6. i put "me dont to hit" instead of "me not to hit"
    8. I put "forbided" instead of "forbade"

      Hi Jose L. ,

      Number 19 is correct as you wrote it. It's just that you are creating a "him" that does not exist in the example sentence. Still, your sentence is correct.

      Regards,

    I only failed in exercise number 19, with the use of the form to be told. Except from that the rest was okay, considering that in some exercises I used us instead of me.
