$PRODUCE Answer with Because
ID: l5-s2

INSTRUCTION: Answer each question aloud with "because".
INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: Accept any logical reason that answers the question, whether a clause starting with "because" or a full sentence with "because" in the middle. An answer without "because" fails.

INSTRUCTION: Combine the two sentences aloud using "and" or "but".
INPUT: speak
CHECK: llm
RUBRIC: The choice of "and" versus "but" is the point — the wrong conjunction fails; accept any faithful spoken combination of the two given sentences.

TEMPLATE: John's plane left on time. It didn't get in on time.
RESPONSE: John's plane left on time, but it didn't get in on time.

TEMPLATE: He gets on the bus at 7:30. He gets off at 8:15.

$GRAMMAR Giving Things to People
ID: l5-s20
INTRO: One last pattern: giving, sending, and bringing things to people. Study the table — the person comes right after the verb, and the thing comes last.

When you give, send, or bring something *to* someone, the person can come right after the verb — person first, thing last: {Can you buy me some stamps?} {Will she write me a check?}

Build questions by taking one word or phrase from each column:

| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Can<br>Did<br>Do<br>Does<br>Will | I<br>you<br>Ted<br>he<br>John<br>she<br>Sue and Tom<br>they<br>the clerk<br>the waitress | send<br>give<br>bring<br>sell<br>write<br>buy | Sam and Ted<br>me<br>you<br>Linda<br>him<br>Jan<br>her<br>them<br>Bill and me<br>us | a roll of film<br>a letter<br>a postcard<br>a camera<br>the menu<br>a napkin<br>some stamps<br>a check<br>an umbrella<br>a clean knife |
