You still ask me this question!!!
OK,maybe my English is in advanced level ( grammar). But it as a whole is still low ( eg: vocabulary, listen-skill.......) . Is this involved in helping me, what?

Dark knighterrant duc · Answer

I think you don't need to help me now

Clive · Answer

Hi,

I asked because these are very hard questions for any student of English.

In addition, most exercises focus on a single aspect of grammar, but I don't see that here.
In other words, what are you supposed to be learning from this?

I am really a self-taught English student. I always try to grasp all rules, structure E which my teacher taught from rewrite sentences. Then apply it to do other exercises. With this exercise, I really can do completely but I have suspicions about it a bit because this ex has structures that I have never known before but ......!
I also strengthen the listen-skill......and reduce learning grammar.
Thanks very much

I think we should use " only when" in the second sentence

Clive · Answer

You could. Do you want to try?

Clive

Dark knighterrant duc · Answer

Only when(after) they told me about it did I realize that......................
Sorry, I think they are both true

Clive · Answer

I think you should include the word 'later' somewhere;, to indicate they did not tell you about it promptly.

Clive

Dark knighterrant duc · Answer

And why did you write "This is a flawed sentence" at the side of seventh sentences. Is problem in "need" and " have gone"
I think the rewrited sentences must have been " You did not need to go to the stadium because the referee first blew the whistle 90 minutes after playing began" ( have gone --> go) because action(go to the museum)couldn't occur
