. 'Likewise' is an adverb, and therefore either modifies a verb (here, 'needs to depend')-- which it does not do here-- or begins a clause, which it also does not do here. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

What's the difference between beside and besides? When do we one or another? |

. Beside is a preposition meaning 'next to': I'm sitting beside the fire. Besides is an adverb meaning also': I don't want to watch this movie, and besides I'm tired. . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Usual mistake twice. http://www.english-test.net/esl/learn/english/grammar/ei087/esl-test.php The world needs to depend on other energy sources ......... oil and other non-renewable resources.
x(a) beside (b) likewise (c) besides (d) also beside After sending the beside changed besides so the test can be NEVER 10/10 _________________ Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend. |

I entered the trap!!! This was skilful.In my second test I wrote besides it was corrected "beside" I was so idiot that I believed, and I wrote "beside" consistently. Now the penny dropped, and I realized that who first corrected my correct answer HE/SHE MADE A FOOL OF ME.
I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I STRUGGLE ON WITH ENGLISH-TEST-NET.
GOOD-BY PLEASE DELETE MY NAME FROM THE LIST.

P.S: WHO CAUGHT UP WITH ME NOW HE /SHE CAN BE HAPPY BECAUSE THIS PERSON ACHIEVED HIS AIM. i AM VERY SORRY BUT I'VE GETTING TIRED. EVEN FOR A YOUNG THIS WOULD BE EXHAUSTING,HUMILIATING TO SAY NOTHING OF A PERSON OVER 72. _________________ Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow.
