From Matilda by Roald Dahl;
"You're too soft with them. Read Nicholas Nickleby, by Charles *beep*. Read about Mr. Wackford Squeers of Dotheboys Hall school. So that they learned, what did he do with boys? He hit them, Miss Honey! Hit them hard! It's a very good book."
Is it the same as "What did he do with boys so that they learned?"
Thanks so much. |

It's not very well spoken, but the person is saying, "And what did Squeers do with the boys so that they would learn? He hit them hard." _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb |
