Listening is not possible here because the sentence refers to the faculty of hearing - like the faculty of seeing/feeling/tasting/smelling. _________________ English as a Second Language You can read my ESL story Phrasal Verbs/hold |

| "Thanks" is very informal, so as far as I understand, we use it with friends, for example. "Thank you" is formal, so you can say it to your boss or senior person or to someone who is not really close to you. |

correct sentence: I should explain that he finds it very difficult to follow your conversation because he is very hard of hearing.
Correct answer: (d) hearing
Your answer was: correct _______________________
could you explain to me the structure of this sentence (he is very hard of hearing)?. I answered it correct but really i don't get it right.[/b] |

Thank you Alan for expanation. There is lots of expressions in English language, I played a game with my English friends and there were only expressions like "see eye to eye" - it was impossible to win this game for me:) Have a nice day:) |

I'm also confused with the sentence structure(he is very hard of hearing). Shouldn't it be (having a hard time hearing)? |

Hello, Could you explain me the meaning of the phrase: 'to be hard of hearing?' Does it mean that the person has problems because of his physical ability or he just can't hear the conversation? Thank you  |
