Hi;

Please correct me the following two sentences.

1. He seems to be interested in music.

2. He seems to have interested in music.

What's their difference ?

I think I've answered this already. But here it is again:
the second sentence is wrong- you'd need a noun after 'have'- 'seems to have an interet in'

It seems to me that the original message was submitted thrice (ain't I post). I know of other board which disallow, resubmission of message within a 30 second period, in order to stop this problem. Or perhaps, I more labourious method would be for the Powers That Be to delete multiple copies of messages.

I delete duplicate messages when I catch them. I was offline for about a week.

AS I do, Ron, but this one slipped me by! I replied to the other thread!
