My answers to the second part of the worksheet are below:
Part A)
*Jim Hawkins
*He lacks self-confidence.
*Poverty
* He could not be a man OR -if you really want to use the word ‘successful,’ the following would be okay yet it sounds a bit weird to be honest- he was not successful at being a man?
*Turn on the TV
* Her husband
*People raise/nurture/bring up their children (In my opinion, any of these three words should be acceptable) AND the second part of this question was confusing: “misgrowing of children”—now the correct grammar structure is misgrowth, but you cannot use ‘misgrowth’ for children!!! I guess it is ‘raising children’ OR ‘bringing up children’ in this case.
*Listening to them
*Winn was on a quiz show called ‘Dotto.’-I have a question here Sonja: How can I use ‘as’ here? The reason for me to ask this is because I sometimes use expressions like ‘named/called as’ and I was wondering if it was wrong to use ‘as’ with such verbs. I want to be sure.
* Our clothes
* Men with similar attire/outfits

Brilliant work, Hazal! You have a minute understanding of grammar and you've explained yourself very clearly.
ReplyDeleteIt is actually incorrect to say 'named/called as'. If you wanted to use 'as', the correct structure is 'referred to as', but of course that has a slightly different meaning.
RE: depth/debt - yes, the point I really wanted to make here is that some words are mispelled to the point that we are not even sure what they are - you managed to figure out 'backlash' - well-spotted ;-))
Thank you Sonja for your detailed response. Actually, 'backlash' is a word I really like. I think that word has character-a really strong character.. =)))
ReplyDeleteI don't know why but I tend to associate most words with characteristics and pick out my favourites.. I even started doing that for French words though I'm just a beginner! It is kinda amusing, don't you think? =)
I also really like that word. And I use the same strategy for learning languages, I think it's a really great one. When we learn a new language, what we lack are all the emotional connections that a native speaker grew up with, so we have to create them for ourselves.
