Correction to Easter Worksheet
Wednesday, April 8th, 2009Many thanks to Tim Berners Lee for pointing this out to us, and apologies for getting it wrong in the first place. Tim Berners Lee did not invent the Internet as previously stated, but he did invent the World Wide Web. The Internet was in fact invented in the 1970s by Vint Cerf and his colleagues.
In case you want to find out more about the 20th anniversary celebrations of the WWW, check out Tim’s website:

And here’s an extra bit of grammar for you.
Why have I used did in following sentence?
“…but he did invent the World Wide Web…”
The sentence is in the past, shouldn’t it just be in the past simple?
Shouldn’t it say “… but he invented the World Wide Web…”?
Any ideas? Well, I’ll let you know tomorrow
