I have a question.
My teacher said: To get it (your negative mark) erased, you have another chance to complete your homework.
I want to know it is correct or not? If no, what is the correct form?
Thanks.
That is a rather strange use of the word erased. I understand what your teacher means and I suppose it's possible she is literally going to erase the mark on the paper and write a new mark on it but it's unlikely. I would prefer something like "You have another chance to do your homework so that you can try to improve your mark."Originally Posted by English4everyone
Thanks.
So do you mean that "get it erased" is not correct at all? I have heard "get it done". Can you give me some examples with "get it ...."? Please.
Do you have to use "get it ..."?
How about:
"To have your mark amended, ..." ("To get it amended ...")
"To receive a better mark, ..."
"For a revision of your mark , ..." (To get it revised ...")
"In order to improve your mark, ..."
...

NOT A TEACHER
Maybe:
To get your negative mark changed, you'll have another chance to complete your homework.
