Identify the pattern of the task
Using the Grammatical Expansion and Grammatical Contraction knowledge points, we analyze the relationship between the pairs of sentences. Each item presents a sentence containing a contraction, followed by an input box containing its fully expanded, formal equivalent.
Let's review the completed examples:
- "She simply couldn't bear it." $
ightarrow$ "She simply could not bear it." (expanding "couldn't" to "could not")
- "Weren't you at the last party in June?" $
ightarrow$ "Were you not at the last party in June?" (expanding "Weren't" to "Were... not" in a question)
- "You won't forget to give her a ring, will you?" $
ightarrow$ "You will not forget to give her a ring, will you?" (expanding "won't" to "will not")
- "We're all going on holiday tomorrow!" $
ightarrow$ "We are all going on holiday tomorrow!" (expanding "We're" to "We are"; note: the image has a typo "hoilday tomorroe!" in its pre-filled box, but the task is expansion)
- "Who're you going with?" $
ightarrow$ "Who are you going with?" (expanding "Who're" to "Who are")
We need to fill in the missing expansions for the last three items.
Expand the first incomplete sentence
The prompt sentence is: "She simply couldn't bear it."
The pre-filled expansion is already provided: "She simply could not bear it."
(This is already filled in the image, so we do not need to solve it, but we note it for completeness.)
Expand the sixth sentence
The prompt sentence is: "Mightn't it look better over here?"
This is a negative question using the modal contraction "Mightn't".
To expand "Mightn't" in a question structure, we separate the modal verb and the negative particle "not", placing "not" after the subject "it".
- Modal: "Might"
- Subject: "it"
- Negative: "not"
Thus, "Mightn't it" expands to "Might it not".
The rest of the sentence remains unchanged: "look better over here?"
The complete expanded sentence is: "Might it not look better over here?"
Expand the seventh sentence
The prompt sentence is: "What've you done that for?"
This sentence contains the contraction "What've", which contracts the question word "What" and the auxiliary verb "have" (present perfect tense).
- Contraction: "What've"
- Expansion: "What have"
The rest of the sentence remains unchanged: "you done that for?"
The complete expanded sentence is: "What have you done that for?"
