🌹🍃🌹🌧🌴☔️🌴🌧🌹🍃🌹 #Common_Mistakes 🌹You’re using “date,” “location” and “amount” when there’s a more natural solution 🌹Don’t say… “I still don’t know the date of the party.” “Can you tell me the camel’s location?” “We’ll never know the amount of carrots he ate. But he’s looking very orange right now.” 🌹Say… “I still don’t know when the party is.” “Can you tell me where the camel is?” “We’ll never know how many carrots he ate. But he’s looking very orange right now.” 🌹Why? As you can see, we prefer to use “when,” “where” and “why” as connecting words to make two sentences one sentence: I still don’t know. + When is the party? = I still don’t know when the party is. Can you tell me? + Where is the camel? = Can you tell me where the camel is? We’ll never know. + How many strawberries did he eat? = We’ll never know how many strawberries he ate. 🌹These are called embedded questions. 🌹Why? Well, they just “flow” better. 🌹💎🌹 🆔 @Englishlanguageclub
