"He _______ (go) to the store to buy some milk."

📝 **Exercise 4 – Sentence Rewriting** 
Students practice precision editing by rewriting sentences to correct grammatical mistakes and improve word choice. Example: 
"She run faster than me" becomes "She *runs* faster than me."

🔑 **Exercise 5 – Paragraph Writing** 
A creative task where students complete a paragraph by filling in blanks with the correct verb forms, modals, or conjunctions to improve clarity and precision. Example:
