told?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be told?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

I dont think so because it is the past tense and past participle of the verb to tell. It can be a verb form or participial, or rarely an adjective.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok.. It would be Me? That is the only other one that sounds correct

OpenStudy (inowalst):

I dont think so, either. @Nnesha

@Nnesha

OpenStudy (inowalst):

What's the verb in the sentence?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

No no. The verb is the action. Ex. ran, hit, sang, danced.. Try again.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Played

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Correct. Now which word, from your choices, describes that word?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well?

OpenStudy (inowalst):

Yes, correct, because the verb(played) is modified by the adverb(well)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!
