    Smile this is not a hard thing, but...

    There was a contest in my city. I'm from Romania so this isn't very hard.Some of my friends say this is wrong , but some say it isn't. So...can you help me?

    None of them hadn't visited that country before.
    and
    In my room are a computer, a TV set and a play station.



    I think I know what's wrong , but I would feel better if a teacher would say it.

    Welcome, I_rock_theworld.

    First, share with us why you think they are ungrammatical.

    well...because this was an exercise at a contest...and it sounded something like this "find the mistakes in each of the following sentence"..so it must have a mistake.

    OK. So, what are the mistakes? It's a contest, right?

    In my opinion..I don't know if it is right...I think it is "none of them had visited that country before."...but I'm not sure..something isn't...hmm... it sounds a little forced. And I have to add "there" to the second one.If it isn't good ..please don't laugh!



    P.S. - It isn't exactly a contest is more like ...a national exam. You see...I'm in the 8th grade...and this year(two weeks from now)I have # important exams, but this was optional.(there was a contest a month ago...it was harder but I just mess up easy things...can't help it).Thanks for helping me by the way!!!

    Hmm the second one seems grammatical to me. Can anyone explain why it is not?

    Not on this thread, sorry. It's related to a homework assignment.

    Try starting a new thread.
