Hi,

Sounds OK to me. You might say 'very often doesn't . . . ', because 'rarely' is quite a 'strong' word.

Clive i dont understand what's 'strong' word and you are exactly to this : Our teacher very often doesn't give us h.w. //* but why very often in middle of sentence ?

Is it not necessary only in the end of sentence?

( In structure sentence on blue mark in the text " exactly " it's mistake to write because it's adverb and in this sentence have'nt any verb to describe him . am i right ?)

Thanks.

Hi again,

Our teacher rarely gives us homework.

I rerewrite the sentence to this :

Our teacher often doesn't give us homework .

is it right?

Clive i dont understand what's 'strong' word and you are exactly to this : Our teacher very often doesn't give us h.w. //* but why very often in middle of sentence ? I just meant that I don't entirely see 'not often' as the exact opposite of 'rarely'. That's why I changed it to 'not very often'.

Is it not necessary only in the end of sentence? No. eg

Our teacher very often doesn't give us homework.

Our teacher doesn't give us homework very often.

Very often, our teacher doesn't give us homework.

Very generally speaking, the phrase gets more emphasis as it moves towards the start of the sentence.

( In structure sentence on blue mark in the text " exactly " it's mistake to write because it's adverb and in this sentence have'nt any verb to describe him . am i right ?) I'm not sure what you mean. However, the phrase 'You are exactly to this' is not correct.

Best wishes, Clive

Thankes again .

"what you mean. However, the phrase 'You are exactly to this' is not correct."

What did you recommended to change the sentence? // something else in this sentence i need to write :"What did you recommended to change the sentence?" or "What did you recommend to change the sentence?"

BarbaraPA · Answer

What did you recommend changing in the sentence?

When you have the verb "to do" you leave the other verb in the base form. Don't put it in the past tense as well.

He sees her -- He does see her. -- Does he see her?
You recommended that I change it. What did you recommend that I change?
