1. The reason I am not allowed to invite Jim to my place is that my mother dislikes him.

2. If Ravi hadn't been late for work, his supervisor wouldn't have scolded him.

3. We have no plans to live here permanently so we are not renovating the place.

HTH.

2. If Ravi hadn’t been late for work, his supervisor wouldn’t have scolded him.

2. If Ravi had not been late for work, his supervisor would not have scolded him.

Let me try :

In addition to not learning how to survive in the wild, animals held in captivity do not know how to escape from predators.

Would appreciate knowing if this answer is acceptable in Spore schools.

You cannot be too frank with Matthew without offending him. (???)

__________________________ without _________________.

Thanks.

I think
\"You cannot be too frank with Matthew without him feeling offended.\"

is better because one gets the impression from the two given sentences that it's not the intention of the one being frank who wants to create an offence. Rather, it's Matthew who took offence.

Does this make sense?
