4 5. I explained_(to)__him that it was the custom _in _ England to wash
one's car each weekend.

But could you explain to me #4 and #6

 

[5jj]

5jj, what is 'fine' about #3? ;-)

3. The old lady spent most (of)her time looking her grandchildren.

Sorry, I missed that.

I think

3. The old lady spent most (of) her time looking (after) her grandchildren. :tick:

4. What_(usually)__taking the day_(at)_and spending it the seaside? Check your original source for accuracy. This phrase is gibberish.

5. I explained_(to)__him that it was the custom _in _ England to wash
one's car each weekend. :tick:

6. It is always easy to find fault_([STRIKE]among[/STRIKE])__another person. You could (at)___least
find_(out)_why she is so often late_([STRIKE]at[/STRIKE])_classes.

Keep trying to correct #6. You are halfway there!!!
