Hi,Allan!
I have some questions.
First,In lesson18, you told "Turn to the person next to you. They will be your partner." And is it okay to use singular form(partner)
instead of plural form(partners)?
Second,In last module, I'm not sure the meaning of " a week's worth of lesson". Especially underlined one,'worth'. I think worth means value,
but still it's hard for me understand the exact meaning of " a week's worth of lesson".
Thanks a lot.

Hi Ahran,
As far as your first question is concerned, yes, it is okay. The reason why is because in this case, it is pair work, so they will only have one partner, so of course we should just use the singular form.
"A week's worth of something" means the entire amount of something for a 1 week period. So, "a week's worth of lessons" means five lesson plans, for every day that week. You're right that "worth" is generally used when referring to the value of something, but it can also be used in the way we just looked at when referring to quantity. However, it is only used that way in this structure (A week's/month's/year's worth of something".
Well, hope that helps and have an excellent day!
