Look here.
It would be easier though if you would post the complete test. _________________ No comment |

Hi French, your sentence should read "Perhaps someone can explain that to me."
As for your question, the word 'ordinary' can have different meanings. As a noun, it means 'priest'. You can find this information within seconds by googling it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ordinary

Good morning, Mr.Torsten,
Thank for your correction about the construction of my sentence.
Sorry, one question, you write "should read" is it not better "should be"?
Have a nice day.

Good morning Mr French Portuguese,
The phrase 'your sentence should read' is often used in English. There are a number of verbs that can be used that way (the product sells well, the car drives nippy, etc.)
Hope this helps. Thanks, Torsten
