     I make a big mistake in my presentation.
     Make is a main verb here.
     I think he is not a doctor.
     Think is a main verb here; is a helping verb here.
     I have been done my homework.

Good explanation of grammar and strategies from class. Keep reviewing and summarizing patterns and grammar with clear, full-sentence examples in your own words. It shows me that you really understand what is being taught in class and what is expected in this course. Be careful to check your example sentences for small grammar errors--Blog 3 is missing a verb and Blog 4 has the wrong form of participle. You have consistently worked on these blogs--this is important! 8/10
