pls help for the following:


Wilbur wanted to buy an X-box. Wilbur did not have enought money.(but)

Wilbur wanted to buy an X-box but did not have enough money.
or Wilbur did not have enough money but wanted to buy an X-box.

Pls advise which sentence is correct.

Thanks

Hi

Good Afternoon.

The question setter presents the past state of Wilbur wanting to buy an X box.

The word “but” shows there is a contrast in the sentence.

Next as we read on, the question setter explains that Wilbur didn’t have enough money.

Thus, I’d go for

Wilbur wanted to buy an X-box but did not have enough money.

Best wishes

Hi

I did some reading from Practical English Usage.

This is my understanding.

In time ------- with enough time to spare: not late
On time ----- punctual

The manager wants the presentation to start exactly on time.

The baby would have been delivered in the taxi if Alice hadn’t rushed to the hospital in time.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes

Hi

Let me give it a try.

Q1 tests students on tense sequence.

The present perfect tense have not had shows a connection between the past and the present.

“Since” signals the starting point of an action or event. It means from a point in the past until now.

For Q2, yet is used as a connector to express contrast.

For open-ended comprehension question, how do we need to put comma in front of the quotation marks? My child’s teacher taught her to put the comma.


Qn 1: What word in the passage is the opposite of the word ‘strong’?
Answer 1: The word is, "frail".

Qn 2: Which sentence tells you that Norah did not enjoy the durian"?
Answer 2: The sentence is, "Sorry Ning, NOT loving this awful-smelling treat!".

Thank you.
