00Would you please help me correct this sentence?02br

02br
00These are my views:02br
02br
01u00vocabulary02u00: a) is "appropriate" wrong here and should be replaced by "sufficiant" ? b) is "way of thinking" wrong here and should be replaced by "common sense" ? c) what verbs can be used with "conversation" : to have, lead, conduct, something else ? 02br
02br
01u00grammar02u00: a) is it possible to use the article before "appropriate knowledge" even though "knowledge" is uncountable ? b) should the verb "help" be in the singular or plural ?02br
02br
00Are there other mistakes ?02br
