I noticed that a lot of my colleagues and some of the outside books answered this sentence in a wrong way. The sentence is copied from workbook test practice number 6.

Crashing into a garden, a tree was knocked down by a car.

Some answered it was knocked----------knocked and this was extremely wrong, others answered it by alternating a car with a tree and this is definitely wrong. However, the right answer would be like this as the subject of the participle clause must be the same the subject of the main verb as it was mentioned in the student book page 107. .

Crashing into a garden, a tree was knocked down by a car.

Crashing into a garden, a car knocked down a tree.

And there is another sentence which they answered incorrectly

Each year, the teacher puts a year's..........of paper in the classroom cupboard.

a. value b. useful c. worth d. view

The answer is worth not value

انا كتبت بالعربى بس معرفش طلع ازاى باللغة الغريبة دى

نقول تانى:
قام بعض الزملاء وبعض الكتب الخارجية بتصحيح جملة تصحيح خطا فى الامتحان السادس بكتاب التدريبات للصف االثانى الثانوى بطريقة خاطئة حيث تعامل معها البعض على انها مبنى للمجهول والمعلوم وقام البعض الاخر بتبديل كلمتى a tree بكلمة a car وكلاهما حل خاطىء حيث ان الخطا الموجود هو الجملة الثانية باكملها لانه وفقا لواضعى المنهج صفحة 97 بكتاب الوزارة بان فاعل جملة اسم الفاعل والجملة الاخرى يكون واحد والجملة هى:
Crashing into a garden, a tree was knocked by a car.
وبم ان اصل الجملة الاولى هو
A car crashed into a garden and knocked down a tree.
واضح جدا ان فاعل الجملة هو a car وليس a tree
وبالتالى فان الجملة تحل كالاتى:
Crashing into a garden, a tree was knocked down by a car
Crashing into a garden, a car knocked down a tree

Crashing into a garden, a tree was knocked down by a car.

Crashing into a garden, a car knocked down a tree
i agree with you but i think we can use hit-damaged-destroyed-crashed instead of knocked down.

dear colleague, knocked down is correct which means in Arabic Askatat اسقطت

أما بالنسبة لجملة كتاب التدريبات صفحة 97 الجملة رقم 4 فى السؤال الاول وهى:

Each year, the teacher puts a year's .........of paper in the classroom cupboard.

a- value b- useful c- worth d- view

الحل الصحيح هو worth لان:

a week's, a month's, a year's worth of something means an amount of something that lasts for a week, a month, a year ..

[Mr. Bayoumy Ghreeb]

And there is another sentence which they answered it incorrectly
How come

[mahrousahmed]

a spelling mistake or a slip of tongue
but what about the above

By the way how come should be followed by a question mark.

How come?

[mr.hisham abo mohamed]

What about these sentences
Waiting for John ,the kettle boiled
Pressing the button ,the lift moved to the fourth floor
The subject in these two sentences is not the same

What about these sentences
Waiting for John ,the kettle boiled
Pressing the button ,the lift moved to the fourth floor
The subject in these two sentences is not the same

Sure they are correct but I am talking about the cases mentioned in our school books but.....

The first sentence mainly was: While I was waiting for John , the kettle boiled. Here we are talking about a continuous action in the past and a simple one.
In the second sentence We pressed the button of the lift so I think the subject is the same. The sentence mainly was
When I pressed the button (of the lift) , the lift (it) moved to.....

[mr.omar777]

Waiting for John ,the kettle boiled

It is wrong to say such a sentence
It means the kettle was waiting for John
We should clarify our sentences
Thanks

I agree with you dear colleague

[mr.omar777]

Pressing the button ,the lift moved to the fourth floor

It is wrong to say such a sentence

It means or implies the lift did the action itself
We should clarify our sentences
Thanks

The sentence is correct Mr. Ashraf
WB. Practice Test 5 page 114 sentence number 6

6. I...........buy souvenirs for my family while I'm in London next week.
a. need to b. had to c. must d. have to

We use need to + verb to refer to actions that are or are not necessary (SB. page 102)
If we chose must, it would mean that the speaker is obliged or is very necessary to buy souvenirs for his family. If we chose must, what would the speaker do if he ran out of money or didn't have enough money? so I think need to is better than must.
