Hi,
The two words do not can be contracted to read don't.

Hi Alan: I select as answer: "I don't often travel by air because the cost of flying is very high".However the system says it is wrong. Why? Regards |

Correct entry: I don't often travel. The error was: (a) I'm not often travelling.

Dear Torsten, You didn't realize my message. So, It will be repeated below: Correct entry according to Torsten and myself: I don't often travel. However, the computer system of test-english doesn't accept your answer as correct (only "I do not often travel" is taken as correct by this computer system). Therefore, there is a bug in your system; it would be appreciated if this bug is eliminated, Regards |

Hi Frank,
When I take the test, I get the following answer: "Correct entry: I don't often travel." Can you please copy and paste the answer you get? Also, what do you mean by 'test-english'?
Many thanks, Torsten
