Answer key

  1. I live with Marsha.“Live with” joins together: “li-vwith”. Names start with a capital letter, but capitals do not affect checking.
  2. I want to cook dinner.In fast speech “want to” can sound like “wanna”, but write “want to”.
  3. Is there a supermarket near here?“Is there” asks if something exists. “Near here” means close to this place.
