Hi,
Could you explaine what the following sentence means?
She left for the evening. (Does this mean "She left for the day." so she wouldn't come back?)
A: Excuse me, how do you get to Tony's deli?
B: That bus over there. --> This response sounds okay?
A: Where will the new desk go?
B: Across from the restaurant. --> This response makes sense or not?
Each of the (two) tables are old and dusty. --> Does "each" can refer to "two"? Does this sentence is grammatically correct?
For these four qeustions, I need help. I appreciate your reply. |

She left at the end of the day. She's not coming back today.
" Catch or take that bus over there" is a rather vague instruction, but there's nothing wrong with the English.
I guess a desk can go across from a restaurant, but it sounds a bit unusual.
"Each of the tables is old and dusty" - is correct English. |
