This review is from: GED Writing Workbook (Paperback)
I'm tutoring a student for the GED test. We are going through each lesson together, so I am explaining and correcting each lesson. We just started the book and I have already found two errors. One is a misspelled word, "Huntsville" spelled "Hunstville", not so serious. But in one lesson about parts of speech, the word "when" is printed when it should be "went". That could throw someone off. We will continue to use the book with caution.
