[حمدى المصرى]

He is my father. He is not being a good friend to me. I wish him to [LEFT]being a good friend rather than father[/LEFT

Please correct this sentense and show the reason

[merenda]

He is my father. He is not a good friend to me. I wish him to
be a good friend rather than father

[No0osah]

He is my father. He is not being a good friend to me. I wish him to

being a good friend rather than father


It should be

He is my father. He is not being a good friend to me. I wish him to

be a good friend rather than father

Because (To) is infinitive so the verb that comes after that will be without any addings

Is it true???


I just try to answer!!

:mad:

[pazzoca]

i agree with meraenda the answer is
He is my father. He is not a good friend to me. I wish him to
be a good friend rather than father

first we don't need passive (he is not being
second we need infinative after to (to being)

that'a my opinion thanx

" I drunk 2 cup of waters "


c u

[فرحة ومرحة]

I drank two cups of water


baraah

[أبو أيوب]

I drank two cups of
waterr

first- the pst form of drink is drank ( drunk is the past participle ) i

[عبود3]

Correct this sentence if possible

The waiters served the orders fast and treated the customers friendly

[sphere]

You're really excellent
Correct this sentence if possible
The waiters served the orders fast and treated the customers friendly

thank you for your pleasant compliment

As for the sentence: "The waiters served the orders fast and treated the customers friendly "
there isn't any mistake in the sentence because both of the words ( fast , friendly )are adverbs

waiting for other questions

[xpert]

Listen! Friendly is not an adverb my bro. It's an adjective

Notice that there certain adjectives in English end in -ly such as lovely, costly, lonely

The adverb of friendly is in a friendly way

The waiters served the orders fast and treated the customers in a friendly way

By the way, I really appreciate your advanced level and your excellent way of writing as well

I forgot my hat in the house
على ماظن انها صح ..
لان forgot بالماضي

[xpert]

I forget my hat in the house


Two things should be corrected: the tense and word 'forget' itself

Don't say: I forgot my hat in the house

Say: I left my hat in the house

What's the difference
When you mention a place, say leave not forget

[]The following sentences are all correct
I forgot my hat
I left my hat in the house[/FONT]

I hope it is clear

Correct this sentence

My brother likes to drink his tea thick

[spectrum]

Correct this sentence
My brother likes to drink his tea thick

Thank you very much for such an interesting challenging sentence
Excuse me, I'd like very much to explain .

the sentence correction may be on to different sides:

1- My brother likes to drink his tea dark
But this means he likes to drink it now , at the moment .
OR: My brother likes drinking his tea dark.
But this means he likes it dark all the time ( Habit )

The verb like may be followed by either of the following structures :
Like + to + Inf.
and you use the structure as a polite request of some thing you need now
While : Like + V. + ing
expresses the general idea or habit as seen in the example mentioned above

But when you use it to show that some person prefers something to some thing else you use only gerunds
Ex : I like writing to drawing.

I hope it would be a flexible grammar rule

and thanks again Mr Expert

[xpert]

Spectrum! I really appreciate your lovely comment. I believe that anyone who passes by and reads what you wrote will -for sure- learn something new. You really added flavor to the topic


Correct this sentence

My brother likes to drink his tea thick


In simple English, we can say

My brother likes to drink his tea strong

[Dr.Talal]

that's right , because when you say the tea is weak, you mean the tea is cold or not quit good


correct this one please

Check the difference between
discrete and discreet

[عاشق الصعاب]

hay hamdi thanks for the qustion
mooch is right
He is my father. He is not being a good friend to me. I wish him to

being a good friend rather than father


It should be

He is my father. He is not being a good friend to me. I wish him to

be a good friend rather than father

Cause (To) is infinitive so the verb that comes after that must be naked



my regards

[Dr.Talal]

discreet is clearly separate

discreet is to be careful about what you say or do, so that you do not offend, upset, or embarrass people or tell secrets



Now I got it,,

and there is no difference in the pronounsiation

My father bought me a black small leather wallet yesterday

[ذكريآت]

i'm not sure

but i think

my father bought for me a black small leathery wallet yesterday

[Dr.Talal]

i agree with you
and It might be about the order of the adjectives, and we also may put ( - ) hyphen between the adjectives

>> leather is a noun ,, i think leathery is better

[xpert]

By the way, nouns can work as adjectives. For example, a car park, a leather wallet, a history teacher, a ticket office, a love story

His enjuries were deadly. He died before reaching hospital

[xpert]

His enjuries were deadly. He died before reaching hospital

Actually, there are two mistakes. Read the correction

[xpert]

I wonder why you changed the verb come into go

http://jose-castro.org/talks/2006/yapceu/60_acme_modules/images/WonderingHead_questionMark.JPG

Because you are accustomed to saying go shopping, you thought "come shopping" is incorrect

Don't say come/go for shopping. Take (for) out
