In Football^x, Grammar^x

Hi all,I found this forum when I was looking for some english grammar things from Internet. I just wondering if someone want to writing with me by e-mail. I live in Norhern Europe. I am 27 years old (male) and I am programming for my living. I have graduated 2001 to Bachelor of Information...

Hi, 1) She's pretty/kind of/quite satisfied with her players' football skills. OK. But don't repeat words. 2) She's very generous with other people about money. OK. 3) Today was her best dental practice day as a female probationary student/ a female trainee. OK. A little clumsy, but we don't...

Hi, 2. How did John break his arm ? OK. But they'll probably answer using 'while'. What I was thinking was this. In an ideal world, the teacher hopes that the student will answer something like Oh, John was playing tennis when he broke his arm. In the real world, and in the...

Hello Casi Hurmmm... that's interesting! I've waited (for) 15 minutes for the bus. Yes the second 'for' makes the use of the first 'for' awkward, as you pointed out. I think we may paraphrase it as I've awaited the bus (for) 15 minutes, but probably the use of 'await' sounds weird (too formal)....
