Answer 1

Ask yourself these questions:
1. What are the tenses of the verbs?
2. How will I change the wording of the second verb to match the tense of the first?

Answer 5

Well when you have a subject like math... there ARE certain steps that can be taken before giving the answer, or rather helping the users reach an answer..

~But with subjects like English, there aren't many steps to help them reach an answer. On all my time on OS, I've provided explanations for the answers [or just give steps] but have not yet been warned or sus'd for it.

~So go ahead, and give explanations and help @kittiwitti1 *^-^
~You're helping OS and yourself :D
