Hi there, another 5 questions to ask:
1) If direct and directly are both adverb, what are the differences between them?
Ex: We flew direct to Vietnam
We flew directly to Vietnam
2) My teacher said that this sentence is wrong:" While Mrs Brown watered the tree, her dog played around" and replace it by" While Mrs Brown was watering the tree, her dog was playing around" because the past continuous set a background for a story while past simple cannot. IS it true?
3) Joanne ____ in French where she________ a job as a secrectary. At the moment, she is studying in Oxford
I filled those: came/ had
My teacher told me I was wrong and corrected: comes/ has
and say: "You cannot put the two tense in one sentence according to the parallel structure"
But I think again:" How about this sentence: she comes from Japan where she used to be a teacher?"
Who do you think was right?
4) There are 2 cars parked outside. ____ yellow and _____ red one.
My teacher filled in the blank : the/ the on the ground that the two car were determined already.
But I think hers are so awkward. I think there should be a/ a because we just name them out. However, my teacher stuck to her gun.
Who do you think is right?
5) and can we say:John runs a business at the moment instead of John is running a business at the moment?
