3..I wish___ the competition this time.

a.I would win

b.to win

Identify the errors in the sentences below:

4...Not only did he break two glasses,but also he left the table dirty

Can you explain to me the phrase"but also he.."?I think it should be "but he also..." instead.

5.Learners use both visual and auditory as well as analytical means to understand a new language.

Is the structure "both......as well as" correct or not?

6.Early TV programmes like the "ARthur Bodfrey Show" began like a radio programme.

the word "the" in the above sentence is redundant ,right? I think before a specific name,we don't need to use the article "the"

7.There is a large supply of pens and notebooks in the storeroom to the left of the library entrance.

Can I change "to the left" to "on the left"?

8.Around thirty percentage of the people are in favor of the new plan .

"percentage" here is wrong.Ther are 2 ways to correct it: we can change it to: a.percent b.percentages

Which way is correct?

9.The plants don't grow if the sun didn't shine.

"didn't shine" here is incorrect..the key in my book says it should be "wouldn't shine".Can you epxlain it?

10.Early balloonists remained aloft in the air for relatively short periods.

Is the above sentence correct?

11. Can you epxlain to me the grammar below?

A. Mary was the last applicant to interview.

The game is fun to watch

Why don't we use " to be interviewed" and " to be watched" instead in the 2 sentences above?

B.

The wooly musk ox , once hunted almost to extinction , survives in Ellesmere Island-->right

Ms.Donalson , teaching linguistics at the unicersity , recently received recognition for her research on the use of gestures in communication .----->wrong

Can you explain to me why in the 2nd sentence ,we have to omit the 2 bold commas while in the first sentence we don't?

Thanks in advance.
