    Default Re: My grammar is correct or not

    1, 6, 7,10, 11, 16, 17, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 25, 26, 28 and 29 are not correct.

    Grade: 14/30

    Question 12 has two answers: A is British English and B is American English.

    30 questions is a lot to ask at one time. I would not expect and quick answer to such a long assignment in the future. You have made a good try but you still have work to do.

    Each question has four answers.
    I have eliminated one answer for you by telling you that it is incorrect.
    That's a 25 percent reduction in the possibility that you will not answer correctly next time. With a good dictionary and a grammar book you can reduce that to 0. You have to try - then we help. That's the way it works.

    28) It's very confusing.
    28 is B. "You can count on me". This is a phrasal verb - "to count on [someone]". It means you can rely on them ("to rely on"). They will do what they say they will do.

    Remember - capital letter on the first word of every sentence please. Punctuation is important too. Check the difference between "confused" and "confusing".

    By the way, how come you have no answer sheet to these questions? They aren't homework for assessment, are they?
    Most people who post this sort of thing can access the answers, and they only ask about answers they can't understand.
