- Babyboy,

I'm not sure if you've already handed this in, but it looks pretty good (good job!)

Aside from Leeny's excellent suggestion I'd say:

[quote]8. Did you give your books to John? Yes, I did. I gave it to him.[/quote]

should be "...I gave [b]them[/b] to him."

[quote] 11. I'm sure I gave you the check. I gave it to you?[/quote]

> I'm not sure about the "I gave it to you?" part. Someone might ask: "Did I give it to you?" though.

[quote] D) Choose the right word (Adj/Adv):[/quote]

> I don't see your answers for this section...


...otherwise, looks good!
