I think you should reserve your humour for a time when you know English better. It seems rude... as is posting in all capital letters.

Sorry, it wasn't my intention to hurt you . I just wanted to explain you everything.I apologize for my misbehaviour.

This is natural: My mom punished me by making me paint the fence.

Could you please tell me the meaning of UNITY OF ACTION AND UNITY OF PURPOSE.-- I'm sorry but I don't know any special meaning for this. Do you have any more context?

No, I don't have any more context.but no problem . one more thing sir , the answer you gave me for my first question shows that i did that work reluctantly. but i mean to say I did n't do that work .my mom just ordered me to paint the fence.for this situation How could i build the sentence?

waiting for your reply .

Thanks

Mr. M., I''m not sure I agree here. To me, "My Mom punished me by making me paint the fence" implies that the person actually did paint the fence. If he didn't paint the fence, I think something like "My Mom told me to paint the fence as punishment" would be better, as it leaves unclear whether the fence got painted or not.

Ah, OK. Follow khoff's advice. It was late last night.
