Hello,
I am sorry to tell that I found a mistake in your correction in the following answer for question 8 under “Present Continuous Affirmative Sentences”. I hope you could look into the problem as soon as possible.
Another problem is I have learned the second person should come first in a compound subject, for example, the following one in Question 7, but I was marked wrong. Could you please explain the reason?
Here is an excerpt from the exercise under “Present Continuous Affirmative Sentences” (http://www.englishtenseswithcartoons.com/page/utest/present_continuous_p...):
7. _________ (run, I and Ann)
Correct answer:
I and Ann are running
Your answer:
Ann and I are running.
8. _________ (run, my dog)
Correct answer:
My dog is running
Your answer:
My dog is running.
I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.
Best wishes.
