Dear Teachers,

1) When do we use “early” and “soon”?

2) You should do/take exercise at least 20 minutes each day/everyday.

- Is this ok to say?

3) Was there much damage to you car?
- Why don’t we use “were” here?
- Did your car have much damage? ( Does this sentence have the same meaning with 3?)

4) He and I treated ourselves to a movie.
- What does this sentence mean?

5) To whom does the car belong?
- Who does this car belong to?

- Which sentence is right?

6) Which is the car you are referring to?
- Which car are you referring to?

- Which sentence is right?

Thanks very much.

Stevenukd.

Hello, Steven. A first try:

1. "Early" is the contrary of "late" (I arrived early at the station). "Soon" means in a very short time, and refers to a near future (We'll soon be at the station)

2. I'd say "you should excercise" ; then I'd choose "every day", but "each day" is also correct.

3.You don't use "were" because "damage" is in the singular.

4. It means that "we offered to ourselves the pleasure of going to a movie"

5. the second one is OK; you don't begin a question with a preposition. You can also say "Whose car is this?"

6. Both sound correct to me.
