Example: WT5 — Teach Me This Mistake

WT5 now has two modes: a default student micro-lesson that withholds answers until the student tries, and an optional tutor lesson-builder mode for copy-ready lesson or worksheet material.

What this example shows

The chat below shows the default student micro-lesson mode. To get reusable tutor material instead, the user can say lesson mode, build a lesson, or make a worksheet when they run WT5.

Which mistake type would you like to practise first?

From your WT4 feedback, the main options are subject-verb agreement, clarity, word choice, or academic tone. I recommend starting with subject-verb agreement, because it was the most frequent pattern, or clarity, because it most affects meaning.

If you want a copy-ready tutor lesson instead of a student practice activity, say lesson mode.

WT5 — Teach Me This Mistake v4.2

You chose subject-verb agreement.

This means the verb must match the subject. In your sentence, the problem appears twice:

Original phrase Correction Why
“This study show “This study shows “Study” is one thing, so the verb needs -s.
“it increase “it increases “It” is singular, so the verb needs -s.

A simple pattern is:

One thing → verb often takes -s Many things → verb usually does not take -s

Examples:

The study shows the impact of advertising. The influencers show the impact of advertising.

The campaign increases engagement. The campaigns increase engagement.

It affects consumer behaviour. They affect consumer behaviour.
