There are two verbs in this sentence. Each of the verbs describes an event. One event — Jill having a cup of coffee — is ‘inside’ another, longer event — Jill waiting for Jack. The larger event is described with the past progressive. The smaller event is described with the simple past.
Part One: use the words to make sentences with the same pattern as the example above. |

One of the most common types of grammatical error in Hong Kong students' English is called 'agreement'. Agreement means that the verb changes depending on the type of noun it refers to. See below for examples. The grammar rules for agreement are reasonably clear and simple, and therefore, because these mistakes are so common in Hong Kong students' English, you can show that your English is superior if you follow the rules on this page.

Pairs of images are presented in random order, initially with only their back visible. The user is required to match-up all of them in as few mouse clicks possible in order to win the game.
To play the user needs to direct your mouse and click on two separate instances of the card background. That will (when clicked upon) rotate and reveal two images. If those images are an exact match (an identical pair) they will remain on the screen while you can continue onto another pair, but if they are not they will rotate and hide again leaving you to test your luck and knowledge again. |

Welcome to 'Where to Next?', an interactive game that takes its users on a tour of six locations in the British Isles.
The rules are simple. Each location contains a group of English language questions and audio reports. Your 'tour' will involve listening to these audio reports and answering as many questions correctly as possible. Once you have finished a location you can progress to the next one on your tour.
But beware! You only have a limited amount of cash. With every wrong answer, you lose some cash, and if you lose it all you must start again!

We have created a new set of stimuli based on the widely used line drawings of Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980). These 260 stimuli contain diagnostic texture and color information. Normative data (naming agreement and latencies, complexity, familiarity, imaginability) for these new stimuli have been collected (Rossion & Pourtois, 2004). Our data shows that surface information, color in particular, greatly facilitates object recognition.
