Dear Torsten, Thank you for your lessons. Because of ones I can get to know what I need to improve in my English language. I joyned in 2006 but I had a break, I have spent 2 years in England. Living there was helpful for me but the language which English people speak it's not really correct so if I want to pass Toefl exam i need to learn with you. Best regards Peter |

Hello, Mr Alan: I did made mistake in the this sentence"to most people...they had finished with each other". I chose "ended" instead. I read your explanation, and now i understand. I joined this website before and i realised that you're a very good english teacher. I want to say may thanks to you for your contributions to all learners in the world. |

dear Mister Micawber, "Note that 'finish' can be followed by an –ing form [but 'end' is not followed by an –ing form]." is this a wrong sentence:-"it is a good ending." |

Hi Torsten,
I got 7 out of 10 on the first attempt, but afterwards I read all the explanations and I think I catched the difference but we'll see in future.
Thank you veru much for the lessons, tests and exercises. |

they had finished with each other.
sounds awfully odd I would have thought it isn't correct. I would have said they ended their relationship or they stopped seeing each other but how can you finish with someone? I know you can finish with something like - work: "I have finished with the house work" for instance. |

Dear Torsten, I got 9 out of 10. The last question confused me: "...they had finished with each other." This sounds awkward but after reading the explanation from Alan, it is now clear to me. Thanks,

Finish with is the only answer as it's simply a phrasal verb _________________ Nothing's impossible! Never say never! They're what I've been following. Hope you to follow them too! |
