Some unsolved questions

1)".... His work won worldwide recognition with a Nobel Prize and in 1933 he settled permanently in America, where his work continued uninterrupted for the next twenty years"

One thing to ask, why do we use "uninterrupted" here but not uninterruptedly?

2)

I take out a sentence from my exam last week:

Write down the right verb form

When she (arrive) there next week , I'll write to her

Two possible choices are: When she arrives next week... or When she has arrived next week?

3)

Your job may well involve some travelling (=it is fairly likely)

What does may well mean here? Why don't we just use may but may well?

4)

Tim cannot speak English better than John

a) John speaks English as well as John

b)John speaks english better than Tim

I wonder which sentence has the nearest meaning to the original one. My teacher advised us not to use the comparision "than" in negative sentence. So I pressume a is the best choice. What about you?My teacher chose b whlist I chose A, so I lost some scores for it, but don't know why

Hi Belly 1. Uninterrupted is adjectival in character and meaning. It refers to the state of things. No outsider interrupted him while he was doing his work. 2. I would  say: When she arrives there next week, I'll write to her. Arriving only takes a short time and therefore I would prefer the present tense. If the reference were to something that takes a longer time, the perfect would be justified: When she has read that book next week, I'll write to her. 3. Well could well be omitted without any significant change in the meaning. Perhaps it increases the likelihood of travelling a little. 4. b) is the choice that first comes to mind, but from a purely mathematical or logical viewpoint a) is also correct as far as the ability to speak English is concerned.

So that means Continue is a linking verb?
