Juan is an ELL whose native langauge is Spanish. He tends to struggle with verb tenses in English, especially with the future tense. In Spanish, the
present tense can be used to express a future action. For example, Nos
vemos mañana (I will see you tomorrow) uses a present tense verb to
express an event that will happen in the future. On the other hand, in
English, the present tense is only used for actions occuring presently. The
future tense must be used for future actions only.
Because of this discrepency between Spanish and English verb tense
rules, Juan often comes up with sentences such as:
"I call the doctor next week."
Juan's interlanguage error is likely occuring for which of the following
reasons?

answer: gordo

explanation: gordo means that the cat is very fat

answer:

no

explanation:

the woodchuck is one of several north american animals whose name has native american origins. unfortunately, those exact origins are unknown. early colonists in new england reported that "wuchak" was the name for the animal in a local algonquian language, but this word was never recorded in a dictionary and the algonquian languages of that region are no longer natively spoken, so the original form of the word has been lost to time. it may have actually been the word for a fisher (a member of the weasel family) instead, since the word for fisher sounds similar to wuchak in living algonquian languages (such as the cree word ocek, pronounced similar to oo-check.) or it might have been an english corruption of a longer word like the narragansett word ockqutchaun, which did refer to a woodchuck. in any case, english-speaking americans later adapted the name "wuchak" into the modern form "woodchuck," which was easier for them to remember.
