Question words, Possessive forms
What does WHOSE represent in English? How can we define it? Give an example in a QUESTION.
WHOSE is a question word to ask about possession.
Whose car do you drive? Whose paper is that?
Explain the difference(s) between SAY and TELL. Use examples if needed. Why do we have two different verbs to represent Reported speech?
SAY: just the information, no direct object, no "conversation". She said to open the door.
TELL: conversation, exchange of information with a person, direct object needed. She told me* to open the door. (NOT: She told to me to open the door. X)
She said to study.
She told the students to study.
Explain the verb tense Past progressive and give the necessary conjugation for it (auxiliary and verb).
Past progressive: long or continuous action in the past. It is often used for stories. It is also often used in combination with the Simple past.
Conjugation: WAS/WERE + ____ing (verb)
I was working...
You were working...
What is the opposite of TURN ON, PUT ON, and GO UP?
TURN OFF, TAKE OFF, GO DOWN.
Explain what is an Indefinite Pronoun. Can you give some examples?
Indefinite pronouns are nouns that do not refer to anyone, anything, or anywhere in particular. They are often used to talk about someone/something/somewhere without naming the person/it. Examples: Someone, something, somewhere... Anyone, anything, anywhere... No one, nothing, nowhere... => Lesson 14.

shoes / Whose / take / did / by accident / you / ?
Whose shoes did you take by accident?
Rewrite with said or told:
Nancy, "Open the book to page 5."
Nancy said to open the book to page 5.
There is only one person talking, so we use SAID. Then, we transform Open to "to open", an infinitive.
Use WHEN or WHILE to fill in the blanks.
A) ____ I was shopping, I saw a friend.
B) I was jogging ____ it started to rain.
A) While
B) when
Short or Long actions.
Short = when, simple past
Long = while, past progressive

What is a two-word verb or phrasal verb? Can you give some examples? Why are they so important in English?

They are VERY common in English, but they are difficult to understand and use.

When we use the Past progressive, what are some key words to use with it?
We use WHEN for a Short action, so we use the Simple past with it. We use WHILE for a Long action, so we use the Past progressive with it.
We only use one or the other in a sentence.
