| Sorry for wanting more advice. Q1 I was wondering if the following way of answering a "why" question is correct or not. Why do....? This is because.... ( this is definitely acceptable, as far as I know) What about.... ? That is because....( please advice, teachers!) Q2 Can we write: He could not win the race. OR He could not win in the race. (Which one is correct or both are..) Q3 The rat made the cat lost (lose???) in the race. Many thanks for advising! Last edited by Help Wanted; 05-Dec-2004 at 08:29. |

| not positive what you're asking, but that won't stop me from taking a stab at it ;) i don't know if it's grammatically correct (i suspect not), but in spoken English, your response would usually just be "Because . . ." Why is the sky blue? Because water molecules in the atmosphere diffract blue light better. if you aren't comfortable with that, just leave off any intro and answer the question straight up Why is the sky blue? Water molecules in the atmosphere diffract blue light better. |
