Dear friends,
A: Many countries around the world host hot air balloon festivals.
B: They would do that in my town where I grew up, because we had a big area that was flat, so (1)it was a lot of room for the balloons to get (2)blowing up and go up.
(1) Is it better to say 'there was a lot of room...'?
(2) Can we say '...for the balloons to get blown up and go up'?
(3) Which one of the following two sentences is the usual way to use the word 'blow'? (a)My hat blew away. (b)My hat was blown away.
Thank you!
