Confuse with using "didn't" on this story. #17 (permalink) Thu Apr 16, 2009 8:18 am   Confuse with using "didn't" on this story.
 

Is this correct? "He/She didn't" - as far as I know it should be "He/Doest doesn't". Please explain and clarify. Thanks in advance for the usual help.

Good morning Bertvalen. The two are entirely different meanings.

He didn't go to work today................. Something he normally does do.

He doesn't usually stay off work.......... Something he doesn't often do.

Hope that helps.

Hi teachers,

Please explain this sentence "ANDREW SMODLEY HANDS THE RING TO SALLY FAIRWEATHER'S FUTURE HUSBAND." I just read and listened to the article, but don't understand it. What does it mean?

Thank you.

Hi,

It is the custom of the so called 'best man' at a wedding, who is there to support the bridegroom, to keep the ring until the priest asks for the ring. The best man then gives or hands the ring to the bridegroom so that the ring can be placed on the bride's finger. In this story Andrew has the ring with him and then at the apprpriate moment hands/gives the ring to the man who is going to marry Sally. I hope this explains this for you.

Alan

Hi Alan,

Thank you for your explanation. But I still do not understand the context of this sentence in the story. "ANDREW SMODLEY HANDS THE RING TO SALLY FAIRWEATHER'S FUTURE HUSBAND." Does the story tell us that Andrew got married with Sally at the end of the story? If "yes", does the sentence make any sense at the end of the story? Because this sentence was written in capital, I thought it must make any sense for the story. Does it or not? Does this sentence mean the newspaper said another man is going to marry Sally, not Andrew? That is why Andrew said "You can see me looking relaxed in the newspaper pictures especially that one with the caption:

ANDREW SMODLEY HANDS THE RING TO SALLY FAIRWEATHER'S FUTURE HUSBAND."

Is it right? Please explain.

Thank you very much.

Hi Hoa,

As far as I understand, and as Alan already explained to you: in this story Andrew acts as the best man at Sally's wedding, he hands the ring to the bridegroom. It's not a fairy tail for him at the end, since Sally is getting married with another man. However a significant change in Andrew is emphasized: he looks relaxed at Sally's wedding, not worried or depressed as he used to be before.

The story is nice, isn't it ? I like it.

Huong.
