Question 1 :

The Base Sentence : She used a new instrument to help me to lift the car

which on is true ?

-She used a new instrument to help me lifted the car?
-She used a new instrument to help me lift the car?

In "Help+O+OC" structure, OC(Object Complement) always has to be either to infinitive(to lift) or a bare infinitive(lift).

Question 3 :

use "be" in this sentence.

-If I (Be) made such an offer I would certainly accept it.
........................
I think "If I were(was) given such an offer" is correct. It means a counterfactual conditional for the present or the future.
*"were" is more grammatical, while "was" is more colloquial.

It might be more polite to thank keannu for taking time to respond to your question or, preferably, clicking on

at the bottom right-hand corner of his post before baldly saying "Any other answer?"

Thank [STRIKE]u[/STRIKE] you;-)

Perhaps it's just me, but I don't see how any of these sentences relate to the one with the spiders.

We must change these sentences with the pattern :

i wonder why spiders are our friends >>> Why should spiders be our friends ?

1. I wonder why he is so disappointed.
2. I wonder why you are so unwilling to change your mind.
3. I wonder why there are so many traffic accidents.

Thank u :)

Thank [STRIKE]u[/STRIKE] you. :)

Well, why don't you have a go first?

In addition, I have already pointed out in post #6 that "u" is not a proper substitute for "you".
 
Thank you for your help. my answers are true for question 2 ?
 
OK, now I'm confused. Where are your answers? Aren't you supposed to formulate questions to the three statements? For example, as you've said:

I wo[STRIKE]u[/STRIKE]nder why spiders are our friends >>> Why should spiders be our friends?
I wonder why he is so disappointed. >>> Why ................................. ?
 
-Why should he be so disappointed.
-Why should you be so unwilling to change your mind
-Why should there are be so many traffic accidents.
 
Take another look at #3.
 
which post? that didn't help me !:?:
 
which post? that didn't help me !:?:

I meant that you should take another look at the third question.

-Why should he be so disappointed.
-Why should you be so unwilling to change your mind
-Why should there are be so many traffic accidents.

Also, don't forget the question mark.
 
Thanks ;-) . Can you help me about that? which part of it ? how can i correct it ?
 
[STRIKE]h[/STRIKE] How can [STRIKE]i[/STRIKE] I correct itno space?
Compare the first five words of your three sentences. one is different - and incorrect.
