I have just finished an English exam and there was an rewrite question like this:
1-His car broke down.He is going to repair it next week. (needs)
It needs to be rewritten using the word needs and I am not sure what the right answer is. Does anyone know the answer?
Best Answer
His car broke down. He needs to repair it next week.
or
His car broke down, and he needs to repair it next week.
First, the instructions did not require that the second sentence remain in the future tense. Second, the present form of the verb needs enjoys the future connotation of next week. Third, the instructions do not prohibit combining the two sentences. There are many other ways to rewrite the sentences, provided the instruction did not add specific restrictions.
