Answer 1

Some English teachers, depending on how traditional they are, will cry foul on ¨He´s got¨ and instead insist that it should simply be ¨He has¨ Just FYI.

In Q3B, b, you should probably have a word after demonstrative (i.e. demonstrative WHAT) (or maybe I´m understanding that wrong, or not making a good assumption.

Looks great otherwise.

Is there a reason you didn't actually do the game? This is a game not a debate. The explantion of the terms is in the link at the beginning. - bandit51jd, Sep 10, 2012
