Which part are you stuck with in each sentence? One of the main errors is that you have put a space before a comma and you haven't put a space after a comma. That is the wrong way round. You have also failed to end two of your sentences with a punctuation mark at all.

Yea i am sorry bout the space and comma error ,dint know that ,punctuation marks is due to my haste , apart from that i would like to know how to correct the sentences,

I know in the first sentence "at" should be removed but don't know y grammatically ,or the sentence can be rewritten to make it correct.Same for the second sentence .Can you shed some light on why we are performing these actions ,and when they should be performed in the future if similar case arises .

In the other two i don't know whether there is error or not

Cheers

If you are in too much of a hurry to punctuate correctly, especially after being corrected , then I don't think many teachers will be in too much of a hurry to help you.

Welcome to the forum, abhishiek.

We are happy to help when we can, but we like to think that people read and take notice of our responses. ems wrote, "One of the main errors is that you have put a space before a comma and you haven't put a space after a comma." You ignored this in your next post. Is there any point in our responding, if you are going to ignore what we say?

If you are serious about improving your English, try posting your message again, after correcting it - bearing in mind what ems said. Also, please remember to use a capital letter for the first person pronoun 'I'.

I am really sorry about carelessness ,i was maybe little inconsiderate and will try not to repeat it in the future ."One should be humble while one is learning" ,so the revised set of questions are

1 > The Hotel where the intelligence agents were staying at was bombed by the terrorists .
2>Injustice is so rampant around us that everyone does not get what is due to them.
3>Of all the men I know, none is less inclined than he to talk ill of others.

Hope We can start afresh

abhishiek, if you want us to help you, you must try to help yourself. In the words I have quoted above, you have, once again, completely ignored what ems said.

As Soothing Dave said, "If you are in too much of a hurry to punctuate correctly, especially after being corrected , then I don't think many teachers will be in too much of a hurry to help you."

Try again, but remember:

ems: "One of the main errors is that you have put a space before a comma and you haven't put a space after a comma. That is the wrong way round. You have also failed to end two of your sentences with a punctuation mark at all."

5jj: "Please remember to use a capital letter for the first person pronoun 'I'."

 

[emsr2d2]

Word, then comma, then space. Simple.

Once again, the word "troll" comes to mind.

Once again, the word "troll" comes to mind.

Thanks for being patient, I am not a native English speaking guy and this comma rule was alien to me, Now I know it and will be more careful in the future. I am also annoyed that I repeated the mistake twice.

*** NOT A TEACHER ***

1 > The Hotel where the intelligence agents were staying [STRIKE]at[/STRIKE] (no "at") was bombed by the terrorists.
2>Injustice is so rampant around us that nobody gets what is due to them.
3>Of all the men I know, (See ems's and 5jj's posts.) none is less inclined than he is to talk ill of others.
4>The last few weeks have seen an outpouring of anger at alleged western media bias that calls for apologies from leading foreign news media and even advocates the boycott of certain foreign businesses with large scale online petitions.

See my suggestions above in red.

*** NOT A TEACHER ***



See my suggestions above in red.

You are removing "at" because it is redundant after"where" has been specified ??
I appreciate your help.

 

[emsr2d2]

You are removing "at" because it is redundant after "where" has been specified?[STRIKE]?[/STRIKE]
I appreciate your help.

It is nice to see that you appreciate some people's help. It would be equally nice if you thanked those of us who tried to help you with your punctuation which is (and this may come as a surprise) as important as grammar.

Please see my amendments above in red. One question mark is sufficient and we do not put a space before a question mark, full stop, comma or exclamation mark.

Roger that.

 

[abhishiek]

Roger that.

Is my explanation for usage of "at" correct?

 

[5jj]

Roger that.

What is that supposed to mean?

Is my explanation for usage of "at" correct?

Hello.:-D
It (=where) is a relative adverb.
Please compare:
The Hotel which the intelligence agents were staying at was bombed by the terrorists.
The Hotel at which the intelligence agents were staying was bombed by the terrorists.
The Hotel where the intelligence agents were staying was bombed by the terrorists.

I hope you can understand what I mean.
:-D

 

[CarloSsS]

What is that supposed to mean?

I believe that this phrase comes from military (AmE) slang and it means "I understand you" or "I got it".

 

[~Mav~]

Roger that.

What is that supposed to mean?

In radio communication, it means your message has been received and understood; informally, it is used to express understanding.

Urban dictionary: roger that

(I wasn't aware of definition #3, and I do NOT think the OP used it in that way either. ;-) )

The terrorists bombed the hotel where the intelligence agents were staying.

Can I rephrase the sentence like this?
