    Are you supposed to make complete sentences?

    1. She gave us only a brief idea about her background.

    2. The concept of "do everything now" doesn't suit me. [It's slang, so use quote marks.]

    3. I predicted that I will succeed, and I did. [Put a comma between two independent clauses.]

    4. The negotiations failed. [You do not need "were."]

    5. He has done the homework efficiently. [I have, you have, he/she/it has -- use the correct number of the verb.]

    Be careful with your spelling. Check your work before you post it or turn it in to your teacher.

    Nice job, FARES!

    U.S. English would not say it that way.

    Both are correct. In the first one, "duty" is the subject (and emphasized, important). In the second one, "I" is the subject.

    If all people in the world spoke English, they would be able to connect with all the world easily. DEFINITE MOOD (will happen)
    If all people in the world spoke English, they could be able to connect with all the world easily. CONDITIONAL MOOD (might happen)

    Neither one is correct.

    Use the infinitive form. Now try it that way.

    Oh I forgot to write the second one..
    I am learning drive a car? Is it all right?

    No. Make "drive" an infinitive form.
  • Oct 8, 2010, 06:58 PM
    FARES
    Drive drove driven
    So the infinitive is drive>>>?

    What is the infinitive form of a verb?
