Good day Mr torstein
This is some questions i'll try to ask after reading my 10 lesson hope u will correct my mistakes .
How much i have to thank you for all that you are doing for us ? you are really a perfect teacher .don't you ?
why do we use ing form after (to) when we say i'm looking to meeting(or hearing .,,)you and not to meet you ? :?:
im so thankfull for you . :roll:

[Mister Micawber]

I am looking forward to meeting you.

To is a preposition, not an infinitive particle, and meeting is a gerund.

Hi Torsten,

I have a question about the session of Simple Present. There is quiz in the test of the session:

Later tonight I ______ my uncle, who is ill in hospital.
(a) visit
(b) am visiting
(c) are visiting

My answer is (a), but the correct answer is (b), am visiting. As I know, be+doing something is a present continuous. But the time of the sentence is later tonight, it may a past time or a future time. Why do you use present continuous?

I hope I make myself clear.

Thanks a lot ahead!

Gwen

Your answer was: incorrect
your sentence:
Later tonight I visit my uncle, who is ill in hospital.

[Mister Micawber]

Present continuous is a common native choice for a planned activity in the near future:

I'm having dinner out later tonight.
I'm going to a movie after that.
etc.

Simple present is also used for future, but it is used primarily for established facts:

The train leaves at 6:05, so don't be late.

Simple present is possible in the quiz question, if the speaker visits his uncle every night as a rigid schedule, but it is an unlikely scenario.

Hi,

I ask God for a rose
he gave me flowers

I ask God for water
he gave me an angel

I ask God for an angel
he gave me the best friend ever
Mr Torston
Thanks

Can you sir please tell me which one is the proper way to ask: "Do you have a car? Or Have you got a car?" & "Which company do you work for?, or What company do you work for?"
Thanks

[Beeesneees]

In each case, the first question is the correct more formal answer, but the second question is also acceptable.

However, you would always use "Which company..." if you mean out of a specific choice of companies.

What a lovely tribute to Mr Torson!

"I asked God", would be correct though, as the rest of the sentence is past tense.
