Answer:
The correct sentence is:
Before 8 a.m., traffic is light; however, at 5 p.m., Fred always wishes that he drove a bulldozer to push other cars out of his way.
1. light;
2. No change is necessary
Explanation:
In the sentence above, a semicolon is used after the word light, to denote that two contrasting clauses are to be beside each other in the same sentence.
The use of however which is a conjunctive adverb and a comma after it is fine and should not be changed because it is used to link together two independent clauses.
The book is awesome.
Indicative state something that is happening.
Answer:
After changing the sentence into the past perfect form, we have:
They had watched the movie (yesterday).
Explanation:
The past perfect tense is used to express actions that took place in the past before another action that also took place in the past. Take a look at the timeline below:
-----------------I -----------------I -----------------I-----------------I
past perf. s. past s. present future
The structure of the past perfect is: subject + had + verb (past participle). It is commonly used in sentences that also use the simple past, precisely because the past perfect expresses the action that took place first. For example:
- I had already called you twice when you finally showed up.
In the sentence we are changing here, I placed the adverb of time "yesterday" inside parentheses because it is usually employed with the simple past. However, depending on the context, it is possible for it to be used with the past perfect:
They had watched the movie (yesterday).
But it sounds better if we change "yesterday":
They had watched the movie the day before.
Both sentences would be correct.
