Choose tense and aspect for the intended meaning: human ingenuity

English B SL language acquisition practice. This original stimulus is linked to the theme of human ingenuity and the context of a review of an app that tracks study habits. A student is repairing a language gap before submitting or speaking. What revision choice best protects meaning, register, cohesion, and accuracy for the task? Select the task focus, source clue, language choice, and communication judgement. Then answer in your own words: what should the student do next to strengthen this English B SL response? AI will analyse your communication, source use, language accuracy, register, task fulfilment, and expression.

Worked practice: build the response
