gerund, fear, test #1 (permalink) Thu Oct 15, 2009 19:51 pm   gerund, fear, test
 

My respected teacher

(1)
"Use gerund after the word like ''start''." OR "Use ing after the word ''start''. Is the whole sentence correct?

(2)
"I am fear of you'' OR ''I fear you''

(3)
Teacher: I'll test you in English tomorrow.
Students: What time do we have to take a test?
Teacher: I'll give a test at 9 O'clock.
Students: What subject test will you give us tomorrow? Correct it please

Thank you!

gerund, fear, test #2 (permalink) Thu Oct 15, 2009 23:10 pm   gerund, fear, test
 

I didn't understand #1

2 either I am in fear of you OR I fear you (with the second one being my preference)

3 a bit harder
If you say, "I'll test you in English tomorrow," it could be understood as the test will be conducted in English, rather than some other language. In your sentence, I would probably say. "I'll test you you one the English Chapters (or English material) tomorrow.

The students would probably say, "What time is the test?" Just because it's simpler. Yours is ok.

In this conversation, the teacher would say, "I'll give the test at 9 o'clock." It would be THE test just because we're talking about a specific test, not just "any old test." You get more of that sense if you said "a test."

For the last one, I'd probably say, "What subjects are covered in the test tomorrow?" The "subject test" is a somewhat awkward wording.
