Answer:
1. He smokes very few cigarettes every day.
2.) She drinks one glass of water every day.
3.) He spends very few evenings at home every week.
4.) She writes about two letters every day.
5.) I drink one cup of coffee every morning.
6.) They can't buy many things, because they have very little money.
Explanation:
Use "very few" when talking about an object that has a different wording for the plural version. Letter and Letters aren't the same, but money is not "moneys" when it is plural, so you would use "very little." Also use "very little" when referring to character traits, such as patience or kindness.
Answer:
The lecture about the Vietnam War was given by veterans.
Explanation:
Among the options given, the only one in the Passive Voice is "The lecture about the Vietnam War was given by veterans."
In the Passive Voice, the focus of the sentence is on the action itself, not on who or what performed the action. Thus, the subject of the sentence is not the person, thing, or animal etc. who actually carried out the action. That would be the agent. The structure is:
subject + auxiliary verb (if necessary) + verb be + main verb in the past participle + agent (if necessary).
So:
The lecture about the Vietnam War - subject
was - verb be
given - main verb in the past participle
by veterans - agent
Don’t give up push all the way through the comparing because it is not easy but you can do it
