He did not keep his promise. It upset me.

The fact that he did not keep his promise made me upset.

Is it correct?

it should be: The fact that he did not keep his promise upsets me.
it is 'upsets' cuz 'fact' is uncountable so must be singular

My son wrote 'upsets' too which is incorrect. Originally, he wrote 'upset' but he thought like you about 'the fact' bit.

The 'upset' in the question is in the past tense. Thus it should still remain as 'upset' (past tense).

Is it correct?

I wrote 'The fact that he did not keep his promise upset me' also

I also wrote the fact that he did not keep his promise upset me...

i wrote that the elderly lady had been abandoned by her family and she was so grief-stricken that she was walking unsteadily. me and my friends went to her house and demanded man to respect her but he ‘poured forth a string of expletives’ so she ran away and never game back out of humiliation.

then i ended it off with a dramatic paragraph of how it is such an irony that those who taught us to walk are sent away to places like old folks home and blahblahblah.


IS THAT RELEVANT???

I like it too and the vocabulary used is good as well. Don't worry about what others have said, I think you have done quite well. Just focus on your other subjects left :celebrate:

Just curious, why so many people chose question 3. I chose question 2 instead.
