Hi, Alexander! Recently you wrote in a message to All:
AK> Maybe our honorable teachers can give a homework
AK> for us?
Ahh. There's an invitation I can't refuse... [chuckle].
Homework, BTW, is not countable but homework assignments are.
AK> Do you have school tests on Grammar rules etc?
Tests, no. A grade 9/10 grammar textbook which includes questions,
yes. I may be able to get some ideas from it. Meanwhile:
1) "Etc." is an abbreviation which calls for a period, but
you're also asking a question here. AFAIC it's okay to
use a period followed by a question mark in such cases.
2) Can you pluralize these words?
tooth
lens
cactus
goose
moose
mouse
brother-in-law
wife
woman
index
memorandum
millennium
3) What corrections or improvements would you suggest here?
Me and Ruth went shopping yesterday.
I bought this car off of my friend Pete.
Hopefully it won't rain tomorrow.
I only have $20 in my pocket.
The reason I didn't hand in my assignment is
because I forgot it at home.
For more information or to buy now, call xxx.
AK> Perhaps, it would be fun to make them out.
I hope you enjoy the above.... :-))
