#4 Common Mistakes from the Homework
Question 6.
Which sentence uses “I sleep” correctly?
- I sleep at 10:00 p.m. every night.
- I sleep for eight hours every night.
Correct Answer:
Option #2: I sleep for eight hours every night.
Why? “To sleep” is used for the time you are already asleep, not when you start sleeping.
When you start to sleep, you need to say:
“I go to sleep” OR “I fall asleep”.
10:00 p.m. – “When do you go to sleep?”
Question 11.
My brother’s wife is my ___________________.
- brother-in-law
- cousin
- sister-in-law
Correct Answer:

Correct Answer:

Aisha has daughter is in middle school.
“Aisha has a daughter in middle school” would be correct (no “is”).
