hi everyone,

The following is proofreading.

1. So while previous generations may have complained about a daily does of meat and vegetables today
they are some of the most health-conscious people around.

If i cross out "may" and "does"..what wrong are here. Also, i don't know what the meaning of dose is here.

2. It is understandable that Hong Kong parents have been dismayed to learn that McDonald's delivering
burgers and fries to school gates.

In this question, adding "is" before delivering is the answer. But i want to ask if i change delivering to delivers what the problem is. ]

thx for your help.

"Does" is incorrect. "Dose" is the word.

Please look up "dose" in your dictionary and ask if you still have questions.

Hi. If you say '' may have complained'' , you are not sure if they complained or not. If you say have complained , you are sure that they complained. And again I think that you have written does but should have dose. Then it makes sense. Happy to help you.(Email Removed)
