English test!
I got 3 in my English test… For you who doesn’t have our mark (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) 3 is equal with C in American marking system (I think that you have F, D, C, B and A).
I can’t believe, well actually, I can, because as I already said, my English sucks and that’s the primary reason of this blog: “To make my English better!”
But beside this, we (my class and me) think that teacher gave us a bit harder test, a bit upper than our level. Please see example, this was exercise one, some stupid letter, you need to put tenses into empty lines. And also please write me your answers to see what native English speaker will put. I had only 12 points of 18 in this exercise…

Thank you so much for this, but you made also three mistakes
1. 3rd row - You wrote ‘do you possibly think that you would be able to look’ and the correct form is ‘do you think you will be able possibly … blah blah blah’
2. 4th row - you wrote ‘if you can remember’ and the correct answer is ‘you remember’
3. 6th row - the verb is ‘be able’ not ‘can’
That’s all, thanks for your help…
