Near Or Close To?

Hi,

Please, make the necessary corrections:



- Joshua gives computer classes at an association near his home. OK. 'Gives' means that he is the teacher.

(could it also be: ...at an association close to his home ?). Yes.

An 'association' is not commonly a place where one gives classes.



- Carol often studies Dutch in the evening, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sounds awkward

or

- Carol studies Dutch on Tuesdays and Thrusdays, in the evening. Sounds better

or

- Are both forms acceptable?

I'd say - Carol studies Dutch on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.



- 'Assignments of the day' or 'Day assignments'?

Both sound a bit awkward.

How you say this depends a bit on the context. eg 'Today's assignments'.

Best wishes, Clive

Anonymous- 'Assignments of the day' or 'Day assignments'?

In addition to Clive's suggestions you could also say "daily assignment(s)."

Clive,

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

Thanks to Master Clive.
Maybe we can also say:
- Joshua gives computer classes at an association next to his home.

Hi,

No. 'Next to' here means 'beside'.

If I and all my fellow students are sitting in a row in the classroom, the one on either side of me is 'next to' me, but they are all 'close to' me.
