Дело не в сайте и не в правилах (каюсь, правила сама не читала и даже не знаю где они). Просто человек лучше запоминает, если что-то предлагает сам, а его поправляют в случае ошибки. Это как эксперимет против теории. Эксперимент запоминается, а теория за ненадобностью очень часто 'уходит'.  Sorry, наверное это во мне учитель говорит!  :oops:

[лингвист-самоучка]

Вы, конечно же, правы Но это же всего одно предложение ...  :oops:

Anyway, here it is - enjoy!

2. ok
3. ok
4. We left on warm July afternoon.
5. ok

7. The men aren't allowed to drink alcohol, so Paul has tea with his meals.  (You can also say ‘Men’, but the meaning is different. Without the context, I wouldn’t know which one you want)

2. ok

Thanks a lot. I consider you to be the "skillest"  one. That's why  I'm addressing to you.
The fact is that the sentence about the theatre is given in this way: ...there isn't (?) theatre. Is it possible to say. There isn't the theatre. What do u think?

[chaika]

Here are my ideas:

1. can be A or THE. Written by Pushkin, you know? The famous writer?
2. On A day like this I like to walk.
3. He's head of THE or A department.
4. We left on A warm July afternoon.
6. ... In fact in town there is NO theatre.  ((there isn't ANY theater).
7. THE [or NO ARTICLE] men aren't allowed to drink alcohol, so Paul has tea with his meals.


1. She looks older as she is rather tall FOR her age.

Пожалуйста, объясните разницу между предлогами in и аt в следующих предложениях (из одного и того же школьного текста):

They sell fruit and vegetables in the greengrocery.

At the greengrocer's you can buy tomatoes and cucumbers.

[belhomme]

They sell fruit and vegetables in the greengrocery.

Они продают фрукты и овощи на фруктовой лавке...

At the greengrocer's you can buy tomatoes and cucumbers.

У продавца фруктов можно купить....

....

Sorry, I missed "a in a warm warm July afternoon. (#4)

as to the rest (See Chaika's answers), well, it's open to interpretation...

there isn't (?) theatre. Is it possible to say. There isn't the theatre. What do u think?

No it's not possible. It's either 'no theatre' or 'isn't any theatre'. That's the problem with the task like this. If you have to, just for your teacher's sake, put 'a'. Just to do what you are asked to!
There isn't a theatre... (brrrr  :cry:  )

Я поняла:  greengrocery и greengrocer's - это разные слова. Вот в чём была моя ошибка! Спасибо, belhomme!

Можно ли поставить после фраз to be surprised\annoyed\disappointed\shocked вместо предлога AT предлог BY ? Может быть можно, но не после всех?

Можно ли поставить после фраз to be surprised\annoyed\disappointed\shocked вместо предлога AT предлог BY ? Может быть можно, но не после всех?

Можно. Можно даже with.
Тут проблема не предлогов, а частей речи. Т.е. to be annoyed, shocked, surprised, etc могут быть как прилагательными, так и passive verbs. Т.е. если вы используете by, то они как бы становятся ближе к глаголам Естественно, значение меняется.

As evening draws on, he (the cat) goes out into the garden with a red glint in his eyes and slays a drowsy sparrow.

Подчеркнутый кусок - это что-то из области художественного стиля? Так говорят в обычной речи? Перевод: как только наступает вечер?

[denmakh]

Перевод: как только наступает вечер?

Да, draw on - наступать, приближаться.

Какой предлог лучше всего поставить в словосочетании
Передвинуть на пять метров.

Я думаю так:
To shift on five meters.

Меня волнует предолг on. Его смысл - находиться на чём-либо. Можно ли его использовать здесь?
