Need help with an English sentence
Hi all, I just started studying for teacher English (British English) and I am from the Netherlands. I am doing an assignment making sentences from predefined words. Please have a look at one of my sentences:
The court sentenced the driver to paying hospitals fees and four months of community punishment, helping elderly people at a sheltered accommodation, despite his solicitor's effort to reduce the sentence.
Now I have two questions.
1. Is it community punishment? or is it community service? I simply don't know the use in British. 2. Is it his solicitor's effort or efforts, or could both be correct.
Any help is appreciated and other suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Remi van Loenen
