I know every separate word but can see the point at all. 13 - Maybe set out for North America - but I am completely unsure 14 - stayed MaXmOuSe

	Mister Micawber  +  110864 Mon, 20 Jun 05 12:30 PM 1-- NO. What?!! You changed 'British' to 'Bath'! What is the precise original line, please? 4-- NO. 18th century, Max! 5-- Yes. 6-- NO, 'a number'. 7-- That's not a word. 'Stage'. 8-- NO. 'One' is third person singular. 9-- live music! 12- It is a 'once busy' seaport, i.e. no longer busy. No article before 'seaport'. 13- Yes. North America is a proper noun. 14- NO. This is a vocabulary error; it should be 'remains'. Bye! Mister Micawber Articles, Vocabulary, Nouns

	MaXmOuSe  +  110878 Mon, 20 Jun 05 01:51 PM the original sentence is 1.The Public Rooms of city of Bath can give you a chance - and I really don't know where the mistake is ! Maybe can - could 4.held 6.piece - Maybe I confused myself with a great number because I think that a number means many but after deep thinking I understand that it maybe wrong ! 7.How can I be so stupid !!! It must be stage of course :( 8. has time ! It seems easy when somebody show it to you ! 9. live music - ok ! to be quite frank I must admit that I havn't heard about such music. Could you explain what means live music - maybe music which is singed alive ? 12. once replace 'a' but I couldn't see it . How pity. thank you very much ! MaXmOuSe

	Mister Micawber  +  110886 Mon, 20 Jun 05 02:42 PM 1-- the city of Bath. 4-- Right, but I was wrong about the past-- it happens every year, and it's passive! 6-- NO. This line is correct as originally written 7-- yes 8-- yes 9-- live music is performed by live musicians; it is not recorded music 12- 'This once busy seaport' is correct. Mister Micawber

	MaXmOuSe  +  110919 Mon, 20 Jun 05 04:07 PM Thank you very much for your help but as always there is something unclear to my mind and this is in line 4 - we must use "is held" - ok ?! But if it doesn't happen every year - what then ?I think we must use use again passive but not present passive. What do you think? MaXmOuSe
