Hi Bulone,

That is what it means. It suggests that you didn't waste any time and started writing straightaway.

Why is the sentence finite? (He claims that he knows the answer.) • Test preparing: Our prices/sale/cost will rise next year. • a vs the (John is the/a professor of English at ABC University.) • example vs. illustration • Usage of rental: This rental agreement is made and executed on this day... • Loam vs. clay • You have a message to him? vs You want to leave a message? • Let me know: He's on vacation from Monday until Friday. • That may not be true and That may be not true. • Usage of 'the': 'take the credit for something' vs 'take credit for something' • When you drink... • What was your degree? vs. What was your degree in? • Phrase "buy some purchase"
