Correction

[Fwvo]

Don't be annoyed. Be patient. Read all our responses carefully. In post #11, I told you what all the mistakes are in sentence #2 and asked you try writing it again. You haven't done that.

As we've said (twice now) in this thread, you posted too many sentences for one thread. Stick to one sentence at a time and threads will be much more logical and clear.

All Europe has contributed to his making.
or
All Europe has contributed to educate him.

In post #11, I said that if you wanted to use "all" with "Europe", you would need three words in total. You need another word after "All". Can you work out which one?

All the Europe. However, I think "the" should not come before the names of continents.

 

[emsr2d2]

"the" is not the word you're looking for. The word you need has two letters and is generally called a preposition. What would you put in the blank space below?

I want all ____ you to come to class on time.

Ems is putting a lot of effort into helping you, Fwvo. I hope you appreciate it.

[emsr2d2]

of

That's the one. Now you can rewrite the original sentence.

 

[Fwvo]

All of Europe has contributed to educate him.

 

[emsr2d2]

OK, so now "All of Europe" is correct.
What is your basis for using the present perfect after it?

 

[Fwvo]

Because, the act has already been done.

 

[emsr2d2]

Please edit your previous post so that it starts with a capital letter and ends with a punctuation mark, and add the missing word.

 

[emsr2d2]

Thank you. Note that the comma after "Because" was not necessary.

Do you know that the simple past also refers to acts that have already been done?

Yes, I know, however, once my teacher told me that while doing criticism, one should always use present tense.

 

[Tarheel]

Because, the act has already been done.

We use the present perfect because the action is relevant now.

** All of Europe has contributed to ....

1. his education
2. educating him
3. something else

 

[emsr2d2]

If he's still in education, I agree. If his education has finished, I'd use the simple past.

 

[Tarheel]

Education is an ongoing process. So I guess either is possible.

Perhaps:

All of Europe contributed to his education.

Whatever that means.
