When taking a test, be "word-wise". Watch out for QUALIFYING WORDS!
These are words that help you decide if a sentence is true or false!
Words like NEVER, ALL, NONE, and ALWAYS usually make a statement FALSE.
Words like FREQUENTLY, USUALLY, SOMETIMES, and GENERALLY usually make a statement TRUE.
I'm going to write a sentence using a qualifying word. The next person should tell me if it is a true or false sentence, what the qualifying word is, and then change that word to make the sentence the opposite (true or false). Then...you write a new sentence with another qualifying word for the next person to respond to - OK?? Here's my sentence:
Middle school students never clean their rooms.
The qualifying word is never and is false. to make it true you have to change the word never to a word like freqently
