Hi,
thanks.
Can you please tell me why I can not use "to fear" in sentence 1?
Can you also explain why you removed "that" in sentence 3 and you used "didn´t " instead od "did not" ?
Just to understand ....
Thanks

Hi,
please check and confirm or correct where necessary:
Your senetnces are incorrect without a period at the end.

Both are OK, but #2 is more formal.
Both possible??same mean

Dear Clive,
thank you much for your corrections.
About the period at the end of the sentences: is it really considered such a big mistake not to add it?? I think many native English speakers don´t care about it....

Hi,
thanks to both for the replies.
I don´t know why I didn´t see Regards´explanations but now I can read them and I am clearer.
About the proper use of puntuation, I don´t have doubt you are right, just sometimes people who learn a language focus more on the grammar than on the puntuation and this makes some sentences not that clear.
Lastly, please understand t
