    Recycling has a positive impact on the environment. Btw 8/10 just because I didn't pay attention to N. 3...it really took me by surprise, when I realized there could be this kind of subtle mistake at the exam :D. Excellent video , as always, the I improve the faster I learn about mistakes I make, thank you a million for your help!

    Hi! Thank you so much for your great grammar class.
    I love grammar as it's absolutely necessary to speak correctly.

    Regarding the sentence no. 9... I've learned that 'need of' is correct in some cases, it doesn't have to be 'need for', i.g. if I say 'I'm in need of' it means that I'm lacking sth, whereas 'to have a need for' means that I have a requirement for sth. I'm in need of a new jacket (I don't have a jacket and should buy one). I have a need for a new jacket (Maybe I have a jacket, but I desire to buy a new one).Therefore, my question is, why is it wrong to say 'need of' here? Maybe if I say "People are in need of drinking water in many placed around the world", it would be acceptable? Unfortunately, I haven't studied sentence structure since high school... =)

    • @englishbits
      @englishbits  4 года назад

      Hi! You are right! You can say to be in need OF sth when you are in a difficult situation or sth needs to be repaired. 😉

    First of all thank you for these videos, they really are clear and useful. I'll sit my CPE in a couple of days and am trying to test myself up to the last moment!
    One little remark, if I may - in one of your "correct examples" you wrote "canceled", but I'm pretty sure that this word is written with double l - cancelled.
    Again, please don't take offence, I noticed it because I began doubting my version and looked it up ;)
    Thank you again and Ciao! from Italy

    • @englishbits
      @englishbits  4 года назад

      Hello Bianca! Thanks! Good luck with the exam! I tend to use the American spelling and in American English it's spelled with one l. So both spellings are correct. 😉

    A good piece of advice- I was thought about that one. Some good advice is also correct.
    Some shreds/bits/pieces of advice - I also thought about this option too.
    2. Nice one preposition + wether
    Can you tell us when we can use wether and if interchangeably?
    I think spellings mistakes aren't as bad as grammar mistakes.

    complaint n -denuncia f · queja f · reclamación f · querella f · reclamo m · recurso m
    complain v -quejarse v · protestar v · reclamar v · lamentar v · lamentarse v · objetar v
