Hi,Allan.

I have questions.
First, in module 5, you said "We did take a look."
I know when we emphasize the verb we use 'do' before main verb like " I do love it"
But your sentence is past tense, so I thought " We did took a look". When we emphasize past tense, no need to care about tense agreement?

Second,in lesson 11, you omitted '4.Correcting written work' part.I wonder this part.Among 4 techniques, which one is good? I thought teacher B.
But I want to know your opinion. Because you're an expert^^

Thanks a lot.

Hi Ahran,

You basically answered your own question, but yes, when using "did" to emphasize something the verb that follows it should be in the base form and you do not need to care about tense agreement.  So, for example, "I did see him!", "I did do that!", "Sally did do her homework!", etc. 

As for the four correcting written work strategies, there is actually no best strategy.  They all have their pros and cons, but in general, I do use the second strategy more than the others because it is less time consuming and efficient. 

Well I hope that helps and have a nice day!
