False. Old English was a synthetic language, which means that words' endings signalled grammatical order and word order was rather free. As Old English differentiated words' categories through their endings, words could be placed anywhere in a sentence and readers would know the category of the words.

Whenever you read about Latin's influence on Old English, you will find its influence on Old English vocabulary. As scribes translated Latin works into Old English, they frequently found no translation for some Latin words and, thus, they introduced new Latin ones.

What kind of verb connects the subject of a sentence with a noun or an adjective in the predicate

Otrada [13]

A simple predicate has a verb, a string of verbs, or a compound verb. Examples of these three are: “She swam.” “She has been swimming.” and “She swam, got tired, and climbed out of the pool.” The verb is “swam” the verb string is “has been swimming” and the compound verb is “swam, got tired, and climbed”. Hope this helps.

Choose the best answer (A,B,C) People living in the slums never get good healthcare,? A.Don"t they B.Aren't they C.Are they D.Do

Anarel [89]

Answer:

D. Do they

Explanation:

A question can be defined as a statement that begs or requires an answer, response or reply.

In English language, questions are grouped into four (4) main categories and these are;

I. Rhetorical question.

II. Close-ended question.

III. Open-ended question.

IV. Between the lines question.

A question tag can be defined as a very short clause placed at the end of a sentence (statement) which changes it to a question. Some examples of tags used in English language are: can we, can't we, should I, aren't they, shouldn't they, wouldn't it, weren't they, do I, shall we, etc.

In the scenario, the most appropriate or suitable tag to complete the question is "do they?" because they are more than one i.e a plural subject would be used.

Hence, the complete question is written as;

"People living in the slums never get good healthcare, do they?"
