Please note my corrections above, and note that I have changed your thread title. Titles should include some/all of the words/phrases/sentences you are asking us to look at. Your question/request should appear only in the main body of your post.

Where did you find this exercise? You need to provide the source and the author. Also, when is your homework assignment due?

Please check the information in your member profile. You have given your current location as Qatar but your digital footprint resolves to a completely different location.

Edit: I just noticed that your member profile says you're an English teacher. As such, you should be able to explain the difference(s) between those sentences. Otherwise, how are you going to explain it to your students?
