Two questions
It is essential to write whether tourist guides speak English nowadays. You find guides who take you on a bus tour around a city. The place where the toursit get information should not write the following:
1a] We speak English here.
I think to write the above is not standard English and it should be the following:
1b] English are spoken here.
Would you agree?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The next question is about a tiny shop where you buy newspapers, cigarettes, etc. The following is not standard English.
2a] We are selling cigarettes here.
The above should be:
2b] The cigarettes are sold here.
I would like to hear from you all on these two questions.

I am sorry. It was a mistake. Please remove it.
Sometimes my browser plays ****. Things disappears and I get the feeling that the message has gone astray. This forces me to post again.
