Near or close to?


Please, make the necessary corrections:

- Joshua gives computer classes at an association near his home (could it also be: ...at an association close to his home ?).

- Carol often studies Dutch in the evening, on Tuesdays and Thrusdays.

or

- Carol studies Dutch on Tuesdays and Thrusdays, in the evening.

or

- Are both forms acceptable?

- 'Assignments of the day' or 'Day assignments'?

Thanks,

Hi, Please, make the necessary corrections: - Joshua gives computer classes at an association near his home. OK. 'Gives' means that he is the teacher.

In addition to Clive's suggestions you could also say "daily assignment(s)."

Hi,

Thanks to Master Clive.
Maybe we can also say:
- Joshua gives computer classes at an association next to his home.

Hi,

No. 'Next to' here means 'beside'.

If I and all my fellow students are sitting in a row in the classroom, the one on either side of me is 'next to' me, but they are all 'close to' me.
