My daughter doesn't like school. Today my husband and I was driving to a shopping center. There were our daughter and our son with us. We passed in front of a penitentiary. Our daughter, who is 12, started to ask about it. After we answered to some questions, my husband told her to ask to her teachers, because they could maybe organize a trip. She replayed that school is already a prison!

Very good Cinzia. Funny story! 

 

When using the past tense of the verb "be."  Be sure to use the correct form of whether the subject is singular or plural.

 

Plural.  My friend and I were driving.   Singular.   I was driving.

Yes, a prison! The state sends you there for some years, fills it to over capacity, a lot of rules so that there is almost no freedom or fun, keeps people inside, serves bad food, regiments time closely, and does not give enough money to operate. Well that last one is wrong - USA at least, they spend more money per prisoner than they do per student.
