Question

Circle the word in parentheses that correctly completes each sentence. 1. Put (a/the) umbrellas in the trunk of the car. 2. I just had to get ( that / those) sneakers! 3. Did you see( the / an) episode we talked about? 4. I have ( this/these) gloves , too. 5. There is (a / the) way to solve every problem. 6. I'll take this and you take ( this/ that).

Answer 1

Answer:

1-the

2-those

3-the

4-these

5-a

6-that

Explanation:

1-it's 'the' because there is more than 1 umbrella so you couldn't use 'a' in the sentence because that implies there is only 1. Also, 'a' wouldn't work because if it's in front of a vowel it has to change to 'an' so it wouldn't be grammatically correct.

2-sneakers is plural so it would be 'those'. 'That' is used if there is only one.

3-it would be 'the' because if you use 'an' it wouldn't read properly.

4-gloves is plural so you would use 'these'. 'This', again is singular so you would use 'these'.

5-it's 'a' because it is more general like if you use 'the' it would be suggesting theres a specific way.

6-it would be 'that' because if you say 'this' again you would be saying that somebody and you would be taking the same thing.

Hope this helps :)
