April ACT Official English Thread

<p>Two question:

  1. began or begun (I put begun)
  2. knew or known (I put known)</p>

<p>i dont remember…but did you get knew or known?</p>

<p>I put known</p>

<p>i put i forget if i put begun or began but i put knew.</p>

<p>I think I put known because it’s the past partciple and it said “had” before it</p>

<p>Wow I’m really glad so many people have similar opinions to the mother question. English is my best subject and that question had me sitting there for 3 minutes trying to see which one even made the slightest sense and even then, i had to go back to it when I finished the rest of test 1. All the choices just sounded bizzare to me! I can’t really remember which choice i put though…</p>

<p>Yeah the mother question was really awkward, I chose the one that said something like “The woman as I’d seen in pictures”.</p>

<p>does anyone know the answer to the question about kernals and chromosomes in the passage about corn? i was narrowed down to kernals, and kernals; i ended up choosing the semicolon i hope im right…</p>

<p>i’m pretty sure the answer to the began/begun question is begun (this is what i put on the test).</p>

<p>i found this: [began</a> vs begun - UsingEnglish.com ESL Forum](<a href=“Ask a Teacher | UsingEnglish.com ESL Forum”>Ask a Teacher | UsingEnglish.com ESL Forum)</p>

<p>so began is on its own and begun always comes after have/had/etc.</p>

<p>I don’t think it was historical context because it was just a date…i said the time frame one when it was valid or wtv…what you guys think?</p>

<p>The answer with the words “historical context” was definitely the right answer.</p>

<p>^Yea, I think that’s what I put. It made the most sense to me.</p>

<p>yea u guys are right…idk why i would say the time frame one, that was such an easy question</p>

<p>was it</p>

<p>“were primarily”
or
“primarily were”</p>

<p>one of them was spelled primary so it was whichever one was spelled primarily…i wish there was like a legit place where it had every answer i heard they had that for the SAT</p>

<p>i can’t wait 2+ weeks for my scores im way too impatient</p>

<p>I think that within 5-10 years these tests are going to be taken on iPads and the scores will be given immediately after the testing is done. Honestly though, I wish they could just run them through the scantron machines at the school and tell us how we did</p>

<p>are u sure one of them was spelled “primary”?</p>

<p>^^^Me too. I hope mine actually arrive on the 26th because I have to take the ACT again on the 28th as a part of the Illinois PSAE, and I want to know if I actually have to try or not. Lol.</p>

<p>Yea, I’m scheduled for the SAT IIs on May 1, but if I do good on these the pressure will be off. I’m still gona try though because if I do good I may be able to use them for class placement</p>
