[diplomacy]

please correct me if wrong? the colourful words?


I cut my hand on a piece of glass. Do you have a Band-Aid?


.How many students in your class came from Korea?


I have lost my dictionary. Have you seen it?


I went to the theater many times when I lived in London.

.My grandfather died 10 years before I was born, so I didn't meet him.

No problems with this but the highlighted one is a bit vague although grammatically correct.

.How many students in your class came from Korea? "Came " should change to "come".


I have lost my dictionary. Have you seen it? Right, I think.


I went to the theater many times when I lived in London. Right.

.My grandfather died 10 years before I was born, so I didn't meet him. "Died "should change to "had been death"

I was in a big hurry so I had no time to phone you.Right.

I would agree with you, changing came to come in the sentence..students came from Korea, but I would not change the My grandfather etc... I think the original is correct

I agree and wanted someone else to post. But Stilo, the reason that I posted originally for more context is this:

"Your travelling students, which country did they come from? I heard they were in many Asian countries.

The students came from Korea."

Just a small point.

Never forget how important context is. Perhaps:

Q: Your foreign students--where did they come from? I heard they were from many Asian countries.
A: The students came from Korea.

thank you all for pretty interaction.

appreciate that.......

Actually, I think the first one should be: "I have cut my hand"

[gybbyr]

Also: "I was in a big hurry so I couldn't phone you" feels more natural.
