Hi Enya,
This is a great sentence:"We are crying hard because we are going to leave Canada,our host family and our friends. "
But the one about the sad husband is a good example of the pattern as well.
You clearly understand the pattern, subject, verb to be, plus adjective and have expanded it even more than I had asked for. I especially like the series completing the first sentence.
I will send you some further comments via e-mail. Best, Laraine
