Ewo, czy w każdym jest błąd?

1. Prices are surely rising fast.

Nie podoba mi się te "surely" tutaj. Ale szczerze mówiąc to nie wiem czy te zdanie jest poprawne czy nie.

2. At least, nie finally. Taki mały wykrzyknik, a mąci :D

3. hourS

4. Fraza "according to me" jest niepoprawna. Mówimy "according to sb or sth
",ale nie "to me". "In my opinion" będzie tu dobrym zastępcą.

5. nearly nie kolokuje z wish. ALMOST powinno być użyte.

6. "the world is getting warmer" - IMHO bez sensu. Jak świat się może robić cieplejszy?

7. bez the

8. bez the

10. I thankful that you helped me. You are not thankful for sth. chyba :D

4. According to me, it's a bad film.
{a moze jednak lepiej: "according to someone else" vs "in my opinion"? according to me - moze tylko jako ironic term?}

{Everybody was there except Angie. A jesli odwrotnie to: Apart from Angie... Dont' ask me why. My fellow teachers said so. ;-)}

>10. I'm thankful for your help.
>{grateful}

Why can't the synonym be used here? Bad collocation?

>11. Except Angie, everybody was there.
>{Everybody was there except Angie. A jesli odwrotnie to: Apart from
>Angie... Dont' ask me why. My fellow teachers said so. ;-)}
At first I thought that the right sentence goes: Except FOR Angie, everybody was there.
Now, I'm not sure :O.

I wasn't sure myself. I asked some natives and unfortunately they wouldn't specify beyond: It sounds wrong.

thankful znaczy 'wdzieczny losowi, wdzieczny ogolnie'
grateful - komus

terri, jestem zdziwiony że akurat 13 klepnęłaś jako ok.

1. Prices are CERTAINLY rising fast.

Use "certainly" when telling people that something is true.
Use "surely" when trying to persuade people that something must be true or that there are good reasons for believing it.

e.g. Prices will surely stop rising soon.

2. AT LAST! nie Finally!

"finally" cannot be used as an exclamation.

"at last" suggests very strongly the idea of impatience or inconvenience resulting from a long wait or delay.

3. We waited one a half HOURS.

4. IN MY OPINION, it's a bad film.

5. I ALMOST wish I'd stayed home.

6. There is no doubt the world is getting warmer.

"no doubt" means "probably" or "I suppose", NOT "certainly.

To say that something is certain, use "there is no doubt that", or "without any doubt", or less formally - "definitely", "certainly."

7. i 8. bez "the"

9. bez "the"
She works hardest when she's working for her family.

Normally, nouns with superlative adjectives have "the" (in informal speech, we can drop it). However, when we compare the same person or thing in different situations, we do not use "the."

e.g.

Of all my friends he's (the) nicest. (comparing different people here)
He's nicest when he's with children. (as opposed to when he is not with children - comparing the same person).

10. I'm GRATEFUL...

"thankful" is used for feelings of relief at having avoided a danger, unpleasant experience, etc.

11. EXCEPT FOR Angie...

12. The train may be late, as happened yesterday. BEZ "IT".

"as" can replace subjects in clauses.

13. RETURN (bez back)

14. My wife will be angry if I'm not home by 7:00.
15. We had water poured on us.
or Water was poured on us.

>3. We waited one a half HOURS.
what does it mean?

>12. The train may be late, as happened yesterday. BEZ "IT".
>"as" can replace subjects in clauses.

moze zastapic czy zastepuje?

>14. My wife will be angry if I'm not home by 7:00.
czemu tak? jest jakas regula?

3. Sorry, it should be: We waited one and a half hours.

12. zastepuje

14. "unless" means "except if". It is not used when you mean to say "because....not".

e.g.

We'll meet tonight at 6 unless my bus is late.
My wife will be angry if I'm not home by 7 (she will be angry because I'm not home)
