I have just been given a whole load of work to asses and one answer that keeps coming up from students has me a bit stumped (possibly from lack of sleep!)
The assignment requires students to provide answers using "To + verb", I have been asked to explain why any answers might be wrong and to show a correct version of the answer. Students L1 is Japanese.
Q. Why do you watch TV?
A. To want to watch TV
So it's obviously wrong but, well given the bounds of the assesment I have to do how would you write a correct version? and how would you explain why to a Japanese JHS student?
Next, any suggestions on how to stop all the ferral cats "singing" outside my window at 3am! o_O

Re: Assesment and feedback (specific)
I don't see how the question has been answered in your example. The answer to "Why", if using to + verb means "in order to" for example:dokodemo-doa wrote:I have just been given a whole load of work to asses and one answer that keeps coming up from students has me a bit stumped (possibly from lack of sleep!)

To relax.
To study English.
To avoid doing my homework. :p
Anyway, the idea in yours seems to match:
Because I want to.
