help grammar (a morning / one morning / in the morning)

[Sese_1]

Hey guys who can help me with this exercises ( u have to choose one of the alternatives):

Anyway, a morning/one morning/in the morning as i was walking to work saw i /i saw/did i see a young chap sitting on a piece of cardboard on the pavement outside a tube station in the city centre. just one glance at him told me he was mentally ill. he was sitting hunched up , holding a newspaper in his hands, and he was talking to his left shoulder in a way that seemed absolutely/total/fully crazy.

this was obviously a genuinely needy/one of the genuinely needy/a genuinely need . i thrown/throws / threw a pound coin in front of him, and glanced quickly to catch the expression of surprise and gratitude that was sure to follow. Hey, you, what's that then? the man shouted. he sounded wondering, but not very gratefully/greatful/gratitude.it's for , i said wondering if i'd give/given/giving

him too much or too little. wait a sec., Fred, ' he said to the mobile phone that was stuck between his chin and left shoulder. and then he sproke to me on/in/with a voice that was becoming more and more aggresive. what the hell do you mean , it's for me?

Hi Alex

This is not a case of BE vs AmE. This is a case in which I think Sese should post his/her selections first. I don't think that's too much to ask, do you? ;)

With regard to Airo's answers, perhaps numbers 4 and 5 might be "typical" in Liverpool, but I'd say they would be incorrect in any British grammar book. Sentence 6 is just plain weird, so I personally don't like any of the options. I think that Airo's choice for sentence 7 is not the most commonly used collocation. :wink:

Hi all,

I'm not a British but studying here and still learning this language (also from this great forum). That why I'm not sure the right answer. It is based on my understanding. Amy and Alex is right that we should be polite on how we write as well as what we write and we should show our effort first before ask any help.

:-)

Thanks

Hi,

Yankee says she has written her corrections in blue - so be it. But I can't see the blue corrections. Is my eyesight failing because I can't see no blue!

Hi Alan

No, your eyesight is not failing. Amy only corrected the errors in the original text.
