Sorry, Levi. But I didn't get what we have to do in this challenge. Do we have to fill in the blanks with the same word for all 3 sentences?

Levi Ramos said...

NO, Carol. Three different words!
Go for it, girl!

Analu said...

I´ll try this one...

1-paved
2-and
3-clean

Lina Karoblyte said...

I guess it would be:
1) paved
2)talk
3)cut

Levi Ramos said...

Ana, and Lina, one of you managed to score two correct answers!

That's all I can say for the moment!

Keep on blogging!

Fabio said...

I think the third should be weed ;-)

Lina Karoblyte said...

OK, let me try again:
1)worked
2)talk or talking
3) weed

Levi Ramos said...

OK, Lina! You're really close, thanks to The Mubber, I guess! LOL LOL But you have to make up your mind first!

Keep on Blogging!!

Lina Karoblyte said...

WHo is the Mubber?????????????????

Levi Ramos said...

Our Blog is becoming famous, Lina! After Valeria França entered a link on FACEBOOK, and I entered a few links myself, the number of pageviews has practically doubled! Anyone can post comments to any of the entries, so, The Mubber came out of some point in the globe!!

Isn't it fun? Anyway, you still have to make up your mind about #2! What say you?

Keep on Blogging, everyone!

Lina Karoblyte said...

talking :)) number 2:))

Levi Ramos said...

OK! Here's the final outcome:

Lina --------> 04 medals

Carol -------> 02 Medals

Ana Lucia ---> 02 Medals

Don't forget that the word formation challenge remains unanswered!!

In the meantime, blog away, everyone!!!

Analu said...

I´m quite sure about numbers 1 (paved her way) and 3(cleaned out the lazy workers) but number 2, I´ve already seen "stop and shop" as a kind of 24-hour service...I know it isn´t the answer but I can´t figure out a phrase with talk or talking as Lina said...What does it mean???

Levi Ramos said...

To talk shop is an idiom. It means to talk about business or work matters at a social event (where such talk is out of place).

Ana, I really want to thank you for your active participation in the Blog. I am going to be posting the medals you have won for the question you have recently asked Laurel!

See y'all tomorrow!!!
