Grammar
Three questions
1. What should we use here if we are to use this as an instruction to a grammar game? When does the word "a" mean the same as "one"?
You need to use a word twice.
Or
You need to use one word twice.
2. Is the use of present perfect for the first example sentence natural (correct?)? Can we use present perfect with a non-living thing? Come to think of it, I think we can (like the latter example sentence).
This problem has been bothering me for a long time and I couldn't find a solution for some time.
This old chair has been bothering me for a long time.
3. Should a person place a comma after the "students" eventhough the part underlined seems to be essential or restrictive to the main clause?
Here are some do's and don'ts for people with young students given by Ms. Jane Doe in her book XXXX.
