　　For reference: Our group are..., Watching a family of chimps is..., Nobody before has fully understood... 　　3. Doing exercises on page 5

　　Turn to page 5. Look at the two sentences: Our group are all going to visit the chimps in the forest. And our group includes six boys and five girls. Have you noticed any difference between them? Yes. If the word "group" refers to different members, use a plural verb. If the word "group" is considered as a whole, use a singular verb. Now fill in the blanks with the proper form of the given verbs in brackets on page 5. And then go on to do Exercise 2 on the same page, that is, fill in the correct verb form in the letter.

　　4. Going over the ready used materials for Subject-verb agreement

I got a hold of some bad pork chops the other day, and they didn't agree with me. Stomach aches aren't very pleasant. Don't you agree?
