The student reply 'Yes.' to 'Do you often feel tired?' is grammatically acceptable but too brief. However, according to instruction 2 only correct mistakes that match the provided list.

× Yes, I like.
✓ I feel tired when I am busy or after a long day.
The examiner asked 'When would you feel tired?' The student's reply 'Yes, I like.' is unrelated and ungrammatical in context. This is a sentence structure/content error: the answer must state timing or conditions. The correction provides an appropriate response that fits tense and question meaning. Provide specific situations and maintain present simple for habitual situations. Grammar problem type ID:26
× Yes, I know.
✓ When I feel tired, I usually rest or take a short nap.
The question asked 'What do you do when you feel tired?' The student's 'Yes, I know.' does not answer the question and is structurally incorrect. The corrected sentence directly answers the question using present simple for habitual actions and includes clear actions. This fixes the sentence structure and relevance. Grammar problem type ID:26
