00What do you mean by "a draft"?02br
00"Shut" wouldn't be necessary.02br
00"A gunshot" would be fine instead of "gunfire."0-

0its correct 0-

0A draft is wind in an enclosed area.02br
02br
00I'm afraid slam and slam shut have different meanings. Is it possible that slam can mean the door hit the wall, therefore, didn't shut? 02br
02br
00Why is gunshot preferred over gunfire?02br
02br
00Thanks in advance!0-

00Thank you for the reply.02br
02br
00"Gunfire" would be okay, and "a gunshot" would be okay, too.02br
00I don't see any difference between "to slam a door" and "to slam a door shut."0-

00Do you interpret gunfire as multiple individual gunshots? I would like to know the difference. Is it like bombing vs explosion where bombing is multiple explosions of bombs?02br
02br
00Can someone else confirm slam vs slam shut? It bothers me. 010id1

00> Do you interpret gunfire as multiple individual gunshots?02br
00Yes, because "gunfire" means "the repeated firing of guns; the sound of guns firing." 02br
02br
00> Is it like bombing vs explosion where bombing is multiple explosions of bombs?02br
00No. "Gunfire" is an uncountable noun, but "bombing"

0My question is going to sound really dumb.02br
02br
00Shut means close if I understand the definition correctly. So without shut, the door moves violently but may not end up closed, am I right?0-

0 It is possible - but usually it is taken that if you slam a door or a lid, then it is shut/closed.0-

0Thank you everyone!0-
