1. My brother is in California on a vacation, but I wish he were here so that he could help me repair my car.
2. I certainly appreciate him telling us about the delay in delivering the materials to our factory. |
I dont' see anything wrong in any of the above sentences.
I think the first sentence could also be rephrased as:
1. My brother is in California on a vacation, but I wish he were/was here to help me repair my car.
And the second one as
2. I certainly appreciate his telling us about the delay in delivering the materials to our factory.

| I think that "on a vacation" is not standard. You should say on vacation. |

Hi ngoanhquan,
It's probably better if you remove your email addresses from your post because otherwise your addresses will get collected by spam bots. This means, you soon will get tons of unsolicited spam emails and I don't think your Yahoo email account can handle them.
Regards,
Torsten

| difference between 'at the beginning' and 'in the beginning' | I know it's wrong! (I'm delighted to announce that David recently joined us...) |
