1. Rewrite the sentences using used to if it is possible. Write can't change
qaws [65]

Answer:

1 I talked to him on Monday. --> CAN'T CHANGE

2 I hated school when I was a teenager. --> I used to hate school when I was a teenager.

3 My parents didn't eat out very often. --> My parents didn't use to eat out very often.

4 We visited our grandmother every weekend. --> We used to visit our grandmother every weekend.

5 I went to the cinema with Mark yesterday. --> CAN'T CHANGE

6 Did you watch a lot of TV when you were a child?​ --> Did you use to watch a lot of TV when you were a child?

Explanation:

First, let's understand why we can't change numbers 1 and 5. "Used to" can be employed to refer to habitual actions in the past, that is, actions that happened frequently. In numbers 1 and 5, we are talking about a single action that happened at a specific time in the past, not about actions that happened often. Therefore, "used to" is not applicable to them.

All the other sentences are speaking of actions that happened often during a period of time in the past. If the sentence is affirmative, all we need to do is add "used to" before the main verb in its base form. If the sentence is negative, we use "didn't use to" before the main verb. Interrogative sentences place the auxiliary "did" before the subject, followed by "use to" and the main verb. Note that, in the negative and interrogative forms, it's "use", not "used".

Write letter to ur friend describe how u save a who was in danger​
dedylja [7]

Dear ZhNya,

you won't believe what happened to me today I saved a kid from death. The kid was in a apartment that was catching on fire! I walked up to the apartment when I noticed a crowd. I asked what was going on, and a man answered there's a kid in a apartment that was on fire. That reminded me of my sister who died in a fire so I, ran into the apartment without a second thought. I went in and looked everywhere until I found the kid. Then I ran out in a hurry because I was running out of breath. That's the story of how I saved a kid.

What conflict occurs in the passage? an internal conflict within the mother, who wishes she could buy more things for her family
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

An external conflict between the narrator and her mother over whether the girl on television is playing well.

Explanation:

This is the passage from "Two Kinds" that the question refers to:

<em>In spite of these warning signs, I wasn't worried. Our family had no piano and we couldn't afford to buy one, let alone reams of sheet music and piano lessons. So I could be generous in my comments when my mother bad-mouthed the little girl on TV.</em>

<em>"Play note right, but doesn't sound good! No singing sound," complained my mother.</em>

<em>"What are you picking on her for?" I said carelessly. "She's pretty good. Maybe she's not the best, but she's trying hard." I knew almost immediately I would be sorry I said that.</em>

<em>"Just like you," she said. "Not the best. Because you not trying." She gave a little huff as she let go of the sound dial and sat down on the sofa.</em>

<em>The little Chinese girl sat down also to play an encore of "Anitra's Dance" by Grieg. I remember the song, because later on I had to learn how to play it.</em>

In this passage, we see that the narrator believes the girl to be doing well when playing the piano because she is trying her best. However, we also learn that the narrator's mother disagrees with this sentiment. She believes that the girl is not doing a good job. In this passage, the conflict that takes place is external, and it involves a conflict between the narrator and her mother over whether the girl on TV is playing well.
