Exercise 1.12 (Page 12) – Avoiding Shift In Person
1.
I enjoy eating out instead of cooking at home.
Living in Seattle, you have a choice of many different kinds of restaurants. My
favorite restaurant is a Japanese one near my home. It is small and very
popular, so you usually have to wait for a table.
Jawaban :
You (correct: It) have (correct: has) a
choice of many different kinds of restaurants.
So you (correct: I) usually
have to wait for a table.

If a person wants to learn to play a musical
instrument well, you will have to develop self- discipline. The serious music
student, for example, must be willing to give up watching two or three hours of
television a day, and, instead, spend your time practicing.
Jawaban:
You (correct: he or she) will
have to develop self- discipline.
Spend your (correct: his or her)
time practicing.

During the past year or two, the price of food
has risen sharply. Every time I go to the market, you can see increases in
several items. Not so long ago, your twenty dollars bought quite a few bags of
groceries, but now I can carry twenty dollars’ worth of food home in one bag.
Jawaban:
You (correct: I) can see increases in several items.
Your (correct: My) twenty dollars bought quite a few bags of
groceries.

I received a camera for a graduation present
last year. It worked fine at first, but after a few months, you could tell that
something was wrong with it. The pictures were so blurry that you couldn’t
recognize the people in them. The repairperson at the camera shop wanted too
much money to repair it, so I stopped using it. You would be wasting your money
to buy film for that lemon.
Jawaban:
You (correct: I) could tell that something
was wrong with it.
The pictures were so blurry that you
(correct: I) couldn’t recognize the people in it.
You (correct: I) would be
wasting your (correct: My) money to buy film for that lemon.

My brother likes his job as a lifeguard at the
beach. You don’t have to wear a coat and tie to work, and you are out in the
fresh air all day. A lifeguard has an important job. You don’t just watch
pretty girls; you are responsible for the lives of all those people who come to
enjoy the ocean.
Jawaban:
You (correct: He) don’t
(correct: Doesn’t) have to wear a coat and tie to work.
And you (correct: He) are
(correct: Is) out in the fresh air all day.
You (correct: he or she) don’t
(correct: doesn’t) just watch pretty girls.
You (correct: he or she) are
(correct: Is) responsible for the lives of all those people who come to
enjoy the ocean.
Exercise 2.16 (Page 40) – Tense Shift Problems
1.
Last Tuesday night I went to the library because
I had a test in history on Wednesday morning. It is too noisy at home to study.
My brother is playing the stereo, my mother was vacuuming, and my little sister
and her friend are chasing each other around the house. How am I supposed to
concentrate with all that commotion?

My friend Greg loves peanut butter. Every
morning he spread peanut butter on his toast or waffles. He snacked on peanut
butter cups at school, and, of course, he ate peanut butter sandwiches for
lunch every day. Nowadays he bakes his own peanut butter cookies because his
mother had refused to make them anymore. Greg was a hopeless case; he even
covers a slice of chocolate cake with peanut butter.

My wife and I bought a golden retriever puppy
last year. We made the mistake on the first few nights of allowing the puppy to
sleep on a rug by our bed because he misses his brothers and sisters. Later
when we made a bed for him in the laundry room, he howls and scratches on the
door for several hours every night. After a while the neighbors call on the
telephone to complain about the noise. We thought that he will never give up.
The puppy finally learned to sleep by himself, and the neighbors start speaking
to us again.
