“May I say a few words?”

We may keep the sentence grammatically correct by substituting “May” for:

"I have as much muscle as any man, and can do as much work as any man."

If you were to report what Sojourner said instead of direct quoting her, you would say that:

"I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that?"

We may say that the verbs Sojourner uses are:

One of the most commonly mispronounced sounds in American English is the “th” sound. This is likely do to the fact that the “th” phonemes are rare sounds, not found in most European and Asian languages. When we do not have a sound in our own language, the natural tendency to substitute a similar sound, such as “z,” “d” or “t.” Unfortunately, this has a big impact on accent, because the “th” sound is found in 20% of the 25 words we say the most in English. The most commonly used word, “the,” begins with this sound. So, when we mispronounce “th,” it is very noticeable in everyday speech.

Choose the words in which the ‘th’ sound is voiced

A “method” is not a relevant issue in such a connection between approach and technique. As your teacher-trainees develop and carry out classroom techniques, they can benefit by grounding everything they do in well-established principles of language learning and teaching. In so doing, they will be less likely to bring a pre-packaged and possibly ineffective method to bear, and more likely to be directly responsive to their students’ purposes and goals. (BROWN, H. Douglas. Beyond Method: Toward a principled approach to language learning and teaching. Anais do XIII ENPULI. 1995 p.45)

Which statement is correct according to Brown?

"I have plowed and reaped and husked and chopped and mowed, and can any man do more than that?"

When Sojourner chooses to use “can” in “and can any man do more than that?”, she does it because:

In practical terms, focusing on a grammar topic may be a challenge for the teacher and the student. Using the Passive Voice as mere example, LarsenFreeman (2003, p. 47) states that “the ultimate challenge of the passive voice is not form” because “although it is a grammatical form, it is not the form that presents the learning challenge”. In her example, focusing on form, teachers may mistakenly choose to introduce the passive as a transformed version of the active, implying they are interchangeable or that all passive sentences include the agent, which is definitely not the case. A good alternative to teaching through form could be to:

“May I say a few words?”

We may keep the sentence grammatically correct by substituting “words” for:

The Screen Actors Guild Awards were a couple of nights ago—they’re more commonly called the SAG Awards—and they had a doozy of an error on Judi Dench’s name card. She was nominated for an award called Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Leading Role for her work in the movie “Victoria & Abdul,” but instead of spelling it R-O-L-E for “role,” they spelled it R-O-L-L, like the bread.

Choose the answer that justify the spelling mistake:

“Nossa preocupação é com o aprendizado de idiomas. Não podemos simplesmente supor que descrever e exemplificando o que as pessoas fazem com a linguagem permitir que alguém o aprenda. Se assim fosse, nós precisaria fazer mais do que ler um livro de gramática e um dicionário para aprender uma língua. Uma abordagem verdadeiramente válida para o ESP deve ser baseada em uma compreensão dos processos da linguagem Aprendendo" (HUTCHINSON & WATERS, 1987, p.14)

According to Hutchinson and Waters (1987), the subject of their book is:
