Hi,
1 Does he have plenty of time? A) I haven't either/ B) neither have I/ neither do I . Which one is correct?
The meaning is: I don't have much time either
2 I'm lucky: Could you say: I have luck?
3 Luckily enough I.... Could you say : Lucky enough I...?
4 A) There seems to be problems B) There seem to be problems??
I would choose the B-alternative
5 How many horsepower does your car have/ How much horsepowerdoes your car have
Which is correct?
Regards
