As usually, many mistakes :) Thanks Tanya and Danny! :)
Thanks everyone for participation!
You are not active at all. So, I am posting the answers:
Hi, dear Trisha! Nice to meet you and see you here. Your mistakes are 5(both), 10, 11, 13, 14. Will you try to correct them, please?
plz correct me
OK. Noted. Thank you..... :)
Dear Wolf! Danny meant tresspassing or entering some club where men should pay. In America we say charge for entering. I am not that sure about British. Sorry!
Dear Teacher Tanya,
Very happy to see you back. And, thank you for the comment.
Actually, I had thought the sentence means a " trespass".
If it means a trespass, "charge with" is correct in BrE and "charge for" in AmE, right?
Dear Wolf! Glad to see you again! I have read your 'correspondence" with Dan about that preposition. So, let me explain. The dictionary example means that a person was accused of something. While Danny means he was charged (he had to pay money, penalty) for breaking some regulations. Do you see, the difference now? You all are always welcomed to ask any questions.
