Overall band

6.5

Average: 6.25

Rounded the official way: .25 goes up to .5 and .75 up to the next whole band.

In your language

The same mistake, explained the way you think

You always answer in English. The explanation comes in the language you choose, so a grammar rule makes sense the first time.

Example from a Speaking review

I am agree with this idea, because it give people more freedom.

I agree with this idea, because it gives people more freedom.

"Agree" is a verb, so it needs no "am"; and after "it" the verb takes -s: "it gives".
