    Dear ozma:

    Do you mean that you need to rewrite the sentences using the 'words given'?

    >In this sentence, 'where' = 'the direction in which'

    2. He now regrets writing the article because it was that that caused him all the problems he's had
    words given: now wishes/but for/not
    He 'regrets' something he did; he 'now wishes' he had not done this thing.

    'If he had not written the article = 'but for (the writing of) the article'
    he would not have the problems...


    Can you construct new sentences using this information?

    I hope this is helpful,
