To me, it is definitely tea not lunch. You can't say stife creativity just because sandwiches can be eaten for lunch.

my interpretation that it is tea instead of lunch is because parents usually will want their kids (and even their playmates) to eat lunch at the dining table for good table manners sake

She/He/It always wins.

I/We/They always win.

How to always win. (In this case the 'to' is the keyword ..to win..not to wins)

ks2me,
how about 'only'?
She/He/It only wins?
I/We/They only win?

or She/He/It/I/We/They only win?

TIA.

Hi,


I need help on the following 2 questions.

Q1. The ice in the glass ________ melted.
(a) has (b) have had


Q2. I ________ saved $200 over the past six months.
(a) has (b) have had

Can someone help me with the answers and why please? TIA.

[Andaiz]

Q1 has - it’s the ice, uncountable.

Q2 have - presently, your total is $200. If it was "had", it would have been in past e.g., I had saved $200 over 6 months of last year.

Sorry Jedamum, just saw this question from you.

Yes only follows same rules as always.

She/He/It only loves to eat fish.
I/We/They only love to eat fish.

How about this one?


i) I love my toy parrot.

ii) I love my parrot toy.

I love my toy parrot.

You will say toy car not car toy right?

Unless the parrot's name is Toy then it will be I love my parrot, Toy.

Hahah. English, full of rules that contradict each other.

That's what I thought and have been using all my life.

I saw the other version for the 1st time in the worksheet of my P1's English enrichement class. :?:

Hi all

My son is in P1 this year and i discovered that he is weak in grammar. Eg, during his SA2, he made a mistake on "You was …" The answer should be "You were…"
He reads a lot of books and still cannot pick up from them. He reads for story and not for grammar. What can i do to help him to improve his grammar?

Pls help
