    Hi thajula,

    Your task is a bit too long for me. I managed to go through only a few sentences at the beginning, and I suggest you have one more look at 42, 46 and 47.

    Did you consult a dictionary while doing this exercise?

    Within 2 hours you have posted 80 of these questions.
    I helped you with the first 30, and I think it's a very good idea for you to have a dictionary and your grammar book with you when to attempt to correct your answers.
