  1. yes, that makes sense. even though no one really says "gaming"...  


  2. yep that is how you spell planned.

  3. yes

    to have + object +v3*

    *third form of the verb

  4. thats right :)

  5. 1. a scheme or method of acting, doing, proceeding, making, etc., developed in advance: battle plans.

    2. a design or scheme of arrangement: an elaborate plan for seating guests.

    3. a specific project or definite purpose: plans for the future.

  6. Correct

  7. Planned is correct the way you have used it...planed means something different....(to level)  

  8. "Planned" isn't incorrect, but it sounds odd to me, especially "had everything planned" which usually involves a more complicated arrangement than just copying someone else's paper or slipping in some crib notes. Maybe "I had a plan."

    Also, the way the question "How did you pass the test if you have been gaming all weekend?" is formed, it means the test took place on the weekend and the weekend is not over (Have been gaming--present perfect progressive (continuous)--for an action that started in the past and is ongoing at the time of speaking). If the test took place on Monday, you would want "were gaming all weekend" or "had been gaming all weekend".
