EXERCISE 8–5 Active vs. be verbs
In each pair, click on the sentence that has an active verb, not a weak be verb. (Although not all uses of be verbs are weak, you can assume that the examples in this exercise illustrate weak uses of be, am, is, are, was, were, being, and been.)
Click Submit after each question to see feedback and to record your answer. After you have finished every question, your answers will be submitted to your instructor’s gradebook. You may review your answers by returning to the exercise at any time. (An exercise reports to the gradebook only if your instructor has assigned it.)
