I had to play like five times in order to pass. But I ams till struggling with one of them. It says:
July and Auguast ______ very hot. I kept wanting to say "is". But they say it is "Are". Yes, with a capital "A". Is that an error or is that actually correct?

Julissa said...

I played the game a few times before I could get the 100%.
I encounter the problem with one sentence as the other students said
July and August Are very hot. I kept putting the common are, but it insisted it was the Are with the Capital A.

I played the game several times. I got the sentence about July and August ....very hot incorrect. I still have not gotten it. I think there is an error. Could you kindly explain.
Thank you.

I also have played that game and whenever I answered the JULY AND AUGUST question, I picked ARE for the answer, I was marked wrong.

mirlene I played the game so many time, but July and August are very hot. subject and verb are correct.

I played this game seven times and still did not pass. I struggled with one of the questions. It is: July and August _____ very hot. I chose "are" seven times and was told it was incorrect. Is this a cliche? I believe I was correct when I completed the sentence by saying that July and August "are" very hot.

I played the game three times because of one sentence:
July and August__________very hot. I thought 'are' would have been the correct answer, bus 'Are' is the one. I believe it is an error. Because you cannot use a capital verb in the middle of a sentence.

I got them all correct except for the one. "July and August __ very hot." It should be "are" but says it is not.
