This question is my problem. I'm a welder.
I always work until late at night.
I study English at my home, Because i don't have any time for study it in class.

Where did you find this rather bizarre English language problem?

Where did you find this rather bizarre English language problem?

I fond it in my workbook. American English File 3.

 

[emsr2d2]

What do you think the answer might be?

 

[Fanoos62]

What do you think the answer might be?

In my idea, It's cool or sociable.

 

[Fanoos62]

In my idea, It's cool or sociable.

What about you?

 

[emsr2d2]

Are you saying that if someone said "Take your time - I can wait", you would assume that person was "cool" or "sociable"? What is it about those six words that lead you to that conclusion?

Did you copy the sentence exactly as it's written in the book? The dash should be replaced by a semicolon.

 

[emsr2d2]

I have no problem with a dash as long as there is a space either side of it, as I wrote it in post #9.

I don't know.
I wanted that you help me. But you just ask me about that question!

 

[emsr2d2]

OK. If you have thought about it long and hard and if you really don't know an English word which fits, then I will do something I rarely do - I will give you the answer. Someone who says "Take your time - I can wait" would be described as "patient". Check the definition in your dictionary.

Thank you very much.
I've got your purpose.
you're a very good friend and teacher too.

 

[emsr2d2]

Thank you very much.
[STRIKE]I've got your purpose.[/STRIKE] I understand your answer.
You're a very good [STRIKE]friend and[/STRIKE] teacher. [STRIKE]too.[/STRIKE]

See above. "I've got your purpose" is not natural English. Also, I intend no offence, but I am not your friend. On here, I am a native speaker who can help you with your English. "Friends" are people who have met each other in real life, discovered they have some things in common and want to spend time together.
