| | 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.

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.  | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
