At the same time, we'll throw the question open to everybody, so that not only will you get the answer from the person in question, but also, I hope, lots of answers from others at <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);">SEETA</span>.<br /><span style="color:rgb(255,255,255);">kk</span><br /></div><div></div><div>I have a few questions of my own.

However, when we do tests with S's, there is no explanation why a certain option is the right one. Could you please comment the following test item:<br /><span style="font-style:italic;">By the time we got to the sale, every book had been sold.</span><br style="font-style:italic;" /><span style="font-style:italic;">SINGLE</span><br style="font-style:italic;" /><span style="font-style:italic;">By the time we got to the sale, there ................. book left.</span><br />My student wrote: <span style="font-style:italic;">... hadn't been a single ...</span> , but the test key provided only this answer: was not/wasn't a/one single book left.<br />My student insisted that with past perfect we emphasize even better that books had been taken away <span style="text-decoration:underline;">before</span> our arrival. I told him I suppose that <span style="font-style:italic;">"wasn't ... left" </span>highlights better the <span style="text-decoration:underline;">result</span> of books having been taken away.<br />What is your comment? Is the single offered answer the only possible one?<br /></p> http://www.seeta.eu/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=2167 http://www.seeta.eu/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=2177 Sun, 16 Oct 2011 08:39:45 GMT by Liza Shehadeh. &nbsp;<p><div class="text_to_html">Hi<br /> I found out that my students have dificulities in writing tasks.
