Christmas conundrum

A little language riddle for Christmas

There once were five boys in Mister Smith’s class. They were nice but sometimes they just didn’t pay attention in class. And because of that, they each missed different, but very important aspects of language. Can you guess what the problems of each of these five boys are?

 

Th_r_  /  w_s   / _n_   / b_y  /  wh_  / d_dn’t  /  h_v_  /  _ny   / v_w_ls /:  „Wh_r_   _r_   /  _ll    / my  / v_w_ls?“,  / h_   / s_ _d. / „ _   c_n’t  /  w_rk  /  w_th_ _t    th_m!  / N_b_dy   / w_ll  / _nd_rst_nd   / m_  /  _nd  / n_b_dy /   w_ll  /   l_st_n!”

In the end, these boys came to Mister Smith and said: “Mister Smith, now we know how important it is to pay attention in your class. We will never be late or inattentive again!”

 

“OK,bz”, said Mister Smith. “Thts gd to no, cas hnstly I cnt stnd it if cldrn dnt lstn.”
