Q. What does elicit mean in teaching?
Eliciting is a technique we can use to get learners thinking and saying what they know about a subject. It’s when we ask questions or give learners clues to get learners to say what they know about a subject rather than the teacher giving the explanation.
Q. How do you use any and some?
The Main Difference Between SOME and ANY As a general rule, we use ‘some’ for affirmative sentences, and ‘any’ for questions or negative sentences. Usually, both ‘some’ and ‘any’ can only be used with countable plural nouns or uncountable nouns. For example, “I have some questions.”
Q. Can we use any in positive sentence?
But you can use ‘any’ in an affirmative sentence or a positive sentence if the sentence has a negative feeling. Now positive sentences that include negative feelings usually have words like: hardly, never, rarely and without in them. It’s silly to go travelling without any money in the bank.
Q. When to use an or a?
Use “a” before words that start with a consonant sound and “an” before words that start with a vowel sound. Other letters can also be pronounced either way. Just remember it is the sound that governs whether you use “a” or “an,” not the actual first letter of the word.
Q. Is Affirmative a type of sentence?
Declarative or assertive sentences are the sentences that state a fact or opinion. They can be again divided into two types of sentences known as affirmative and negative sentences. Affirmative sentences are the sentences that have a positive meaning; negative sentences are the opposite of affirmative sentences.
