| My english course teacher made some corrections which i am writing down below along with the original text that i wrote, 1)my text: Boys' and girls' ages are a matter of minor importance, but the best thing is the harmony between two partners. Teacher's correction: Boys' and girls' ages matter? the best thing is the harmony between two partners. 2) My text: I hope you will advise me to go in the same directions Teacher's correction: I hope you will advise me to go on with my plans. 3) My text: You're right in saying that Matters like boys' and girls' ages should be of minor importance. Teacher's correction: You're right in saying that age difference is of minor importance. Please make it clear whether i wrote right or wrong and decribe also that Teacher's corrections were necessary or unnecessary. kind regards, zaffar Last edited by zaffar; 21-Jul-2005 at 08:06. |

| I see no comp[elling need to turn the first sentence into a question. The second seems better, if you are talking about plans. The third improves the sentence by making it less wordy, but the original is OK too. |
