Is it different?
These two sentences are different in meaning, aren't they?
1. i would like you to read ...
2. i would like to read you ...
in 1., the object reads ..., but 2. the subject reads himself. Am i correct?
Do you have any simple rules to use punctuation correctly? and as i'm not English-native, I have always encountered, when writing, unnatural language. I mean i'm sometimes not aware of what i have written if it is natural in English. Any suggestions? I'm a poor writer but need help.
thanks in advance
