Long ago, before the invention of machinery, both adults' and small kids' labor was required to maintain the basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.
Does this help? I'm afraid I've been away for a few days and just got back very tired, so I'm doing a quick post before bed.  |
Thanks Tdol. I really appreciate your help. By the way, let me ask you a few more questions based on your correction:
2) what do you mean here? especially the sentence in bracket? how to put it properly?
they took a long time (also, did it necessarily bore them)
3) on the shelves
in department stores
Why is 'in' here instead 'at'? How to tell when to use in and at ?
Last but not least,
Long ago, before the invention of machinery, both adults' and small kids' labor
was required to maintain the basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter.
Why do you use 'was' here instead of ' were'? I think we should use plural when the sentence specified ' both adults and small kids'...?
yeah, one more question, how do you feel about this sentence: the energy or power was dependent on
human or animals' muscles? Does it make any sense to you?
Thanks in advance
