Thank you for your comment. It's not that I asked good questions but that I simply don't understand some of the exercises the professors compiled.

I appreciate your thanks to the teachers. It's true they make our English study easier and effective.

As to the answer to your question please read Mike's explanation.

Best wishes,

Jiang

To Mike, TDOL, RonBee:
How nice of you to answer our STRANGE questions. IMO, if you are not teachers, it's hard to ask a native speaker to explain rules because they just use English in a natural way. For me, the logic is the most profound to get it. Through your explanation, I need to learn to FEEL English. And thank you for providing us with such a fantastic website.

You always make my day as well.
(hehehe...actually i don't know the exact meaning of this idiom, but i know when to use it. I'll appreciate it if you can explain a bit.)
