Hi,
Yes, will is right here.
I just got a little question: Are these 2 sentences correct?
| Quote: |
When my grandfather died, I discovered that he left me some money on his credit card When my grandfather died, I discovered that he left me some money in savings
|
(Acually, my efforts were directed to make some of the other choices fit in here, could you do so if my attempts failed, please.)
thanks |

I think one word is missed in this sentence. I'd say like this: When my grandfather died, I discovered that he had left me some money in his will. |

. Leaving money on a credit card is very unorthodox. More likely, some money was found on his credit card after he died; he didn't intend to leave a credit balance.
Your other sentence is fine. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

| I don't understand why don't use the word " savings" in that case? Please let me know, teacher. |

Hi Dphuongthuy,
You cannot automatically leave your savings to anyone unless you give that money via your will. Therefore the correct term is 'left money in his will'. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

| What does cash machine mean? | Why should we not use a preposition here? |
