Good wordsearch!
Hi Andy
Could you please explain me the following sentence:
The orders should not be sent this week.
I wanted to say “The orders should not been sent this week.”
Why is it not correct as orders is plural?
Thank you.
Regards,
Doris
Hi Doris
The reason is that in this passive sentence “should” is the auxiliary verb (Hilfsverb). The verb “be” is in the infinitive form. That means that if there were a a plural form of “should”, then it would be used here. However, as there is no plural form, then there is no difference between “The order should not be sent this week” and “The orders should not be sent this week.
Does that make sense?
Best
Andy
Good exercise for me
A lot of really interesting and helpful information.
Is the description of “Less/fewer” correct?
>> Less is used with UNCOUNTABLE nouns
>> Fewer is used with COUNTABLE nouns
Thanks for your question, Veronika. The short answer is yes 🙂 I’ve added some examples below. If you are not sure, we can speak about it in our next session
Less is used with countable nouns e.g. time, money, water, information:
I have less time than yesterday. (= Yesterday I had more time than today)
Fewer is used with uncountable nouns e.g. opportunities, books, chairs:
I have fewer opportunities in my new job than in my old one. (= I had more opportunities in my old job than in my new one.)
Thank you for your answer, Andy.
Then unfortunately the description “Less/fewer” above is wrong.
Very Nice 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Its heave to find out the right word of the first exercise because you have to find out if the field wants a capital letter or not at the second word
Thanks for your comment. I think you are talking about the following sentence:
_______ for your email requesting some information about our company.
Is that right?
If so, the capital letter is necessary, because emails in English start with a capital letter. That means “Thanks” is correct, but “thanks” is strictly speaking incorrect.
Does that help?
good quiz
Thanks Felix

If it rains on Sunday, we can go to the cinema.
If you have a difficult customer, it´s always good that the customer can tell his problems first
Prioritise first and do the unimportant work later
Then you should make an English course at Sylvia
Could the supplier say how many days the parts are too late
You should tell your team the truth and explain the problem

Homework Roland Dreja
Making suggestions. Your colleague is unhappy. Make some suggestions to help him.
1. What should we do if it rains on Sunday?
If it rains on Sunday, we can cook something to eat together.
You can come over to my house and after we finished our meal, we can watch some soccer.
The game starts at 6 pm.
2. I have a difficult customer
We all have difficult customers.
It`s important to be friendly to these customers.
Sometimes it helps, if you listen to the customers problems and tell him that you understand him.
3. I have too much work to do
We all have a lot of work lately.
You have to do the most important things first.
After that you can do the other things.
4. I’m not very good at English
My English is also not that good.
You have to try to speak English, otherwise you will never learn it.
5. The supplier told me the shipment is delayed.
This is of course annoying.
But we can`t change it.
Perhaps we have something on stock.
So the customer doesn`t have to wait.
6. I have to talk about the problem with the team. But how?
That`s always uncomfortable.
But it can only get better, if you do it.

Bei mir konnte ich bei den oberen beiden Aufgaben schon etwas eintragen aber es hat nicht gespeichert.
Vielen Dank für die Rückmeldung. Ich bin nicht sicher, was da passiert ist, aber wenn Sie eine Aufgabe nicht vollständig ausfüllen, empfehle ich, dass Sie auf “check” klicken. Dann müssten Ihre Angaben normalerweise gespeichert werden. Ich hoffe, dass dieser Vorschlag das Problem löst
i don’t know, why i understand some rules so easy and other rules i never bring in my head 🙁
Dear Christian,
I understand the frustration. Perhaps this is something that you could discuss with your trainer? Otherwise, many people find that the best thing to do is to look at lots of examples of the rule.
i don’t know, but some Tenses makes me crazy and other Tenses are easier to understand.
