Answer 1

1)Mail travels overseas on airplanes
action travels <b>correct</b>

2)Mail also can go overseas by boats
action go <b>almost; "can" is the helping verb used with "go" here</b>

3)Boats are slower but less expensive
linking slower <b>Can you slower? No. So it's not a verb! In this sentence, the verb is "are" -- a linking verb.</b>

4)Most people send their mail overseas by airplane
action send <b>correct</b>

5)Boats might take weeks for the trip across the ocean
linking take <b>almost; "take" is the verb, but it's not a linking verb; there's a helping verb here. Do you see it?</b>

6)Boats were once the only form of transportation.
action transportation <b>WAY off!</b>

7)The post office can use truck,trains,and planes to move mail
action move <b>incorrect</b>

8)In the past, horses have carried mail across the country
action carried <b>almost correct; what's the helping verb being used with "carried"?</b>
