Read the excerpt from Amy Tan's essay "Mother Tongue." I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother's "limit

ed" English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. Which phrase from this excerpt best indicates to the reader that the purpose of this essay is to inform? "I know this for a fact" "my mother's ‘limited' English" "the quality of what she had to say" "her thoughts were imperfect"

The phrase from the excerpt that best indicates that the purpose of the essay is to inform is “I know this for a fact”. This phrase helps the author introduce evidence to the text that supports her ideas.  

In this case the author tells a personal experience as a way to provide more information and the context of her essay.  

The rest of the options are incorrect as they are part of the personal experience that the author is narrating.

Past simple Regular verbs exercises

Answer:

<u>- ied:</u> cry, enjoy, bury, marry

<u>-ed only</u>: label, wait, stay, explain, fail, prefer

<u>- d only:</u> care, like, agree, use

<u>double consonant +- ed </u>: stop, jog, clap, hop

Explanation:

We form regular Past Simple verb forms by adding the termination <em>-ed </em>to the infinitive of the verb.

e.g. wait, stay, explain

However, there are some exceptions, as the result of the spelling rules.

If the verb ends in <em>-e</em>, we will add the termination <em>-d</em>:

e.g. care, like, use

If the verb ends in a vowel and a consonant, we double the consonant before <em>-ed</em>:

eg. stop, clap, hop

If the verb ends in consonant and <em>-y</em>, we take off the y and add <em>-ied</em>.

e.g.  cry, enjoy, marry
