I find this one odd - it shouldn't matter in a restaurant if you have any change or not.

Hi my dear smarteyes I donot agree with you in question number two
Because the stress come in the first syllable when the word is noun and in the second syllable when the word is verb and hear the word is a verb in the sentense Thanks alot for your comment and give me your opinion in this explaination

Smile Re: help me ......

Lubna, in my opinion, for question 7, '3' would be a more informal way of handling the situation. I would also add that in question 8, '4' is the better way. 'You shouldn't stay up too late' may allow the child to answer back: 'why shouldn't I?!'

With three young children of my own, I would prefer the direct order!!!

By the way Verdana 2 font is perfectly visible here in the UK.

Hi lubna,

If one of the four has to be correct then it is number 4) but with "for" not "form" which, I suppose, is a typo.
I would like to wish you good luck there in Gaza.
