I have no idea. Could you supply more context? What is being rented? What do you mean by 'acception'? _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

:) the word acception I found in the dictionary... I want to say what does "walk on rentals" mean. I saw it on a paintball-site. There are different prices for private group rentals and for walk on rentals.
Thanks :) |

Then say that: 'What does *** mean?'
I suppose that it means that you do not have to phone ahead or make a reservation if you want to rent equipment; you can just appear and rent it without previous arrangement. However, the phrase is usually 'walk-in rental'. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Mister Micawber, help me! I have a lesson about "headlines of articles in English" and i am doing some homework about writing full forms of these headlines. For example : "PM rules out autumn election"---> Interpreting : Prime Minister has ruled out the autumn election. But i have some difficulties in some headlines. Such as: " Mixed reactions to G20 outcome" ; "What Americans want from the G20" ; "G20 sherpas have tall mountain to climb" "What the $1tn pledge really costs" ; "G20: The social media battle" ; Can you give me some suggestion? thanks a lot! |

There are no absolute answers to what has been omitted, but:
(There are) Mixed reactions to (the) G20 outcome What Americans want from the G20 (The) G20 sherpas have (a) tall mountain to climb What the $1tn pledge really costs G20: The social media battle
Three of them seem to need no filling out. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

| When do we use 'wish'? Waht tense we should use in the sentence? | Phrase: If I were not a nurse, I'd probably be a photographer. |
