Hello all,
I posted my question here and I got two different ideas, and I don't know which one is correct:
https://www.englishforums.com/English/WhenGirlLivedAppleTreeFarmUsed/blwwcm/post.htm
Main :Mrs Bell: "I have always lived in the village, but not always in this house."
Idea 1: Mrs Bell: "I have always lived in the village, but I did not always in this house."
Idea 2: Mrs Bell: "I have always lived in the village, but I have not always lived in this house."
AND
I have also learned that :
"We can use a pattern with it as the object of a verb where it refers forward to a clause. However, in the following examples this definition doesn't work too:
Mrs Bell:"When I was a girl, we lived at Apple Tree Farm.We used to like it there."
Here "it" refers to "there" not " a clause", so is the pronoun " it" considered as "dummy it"?
