Thanks a lot for sharing!!!
Thanks for checking it out 🙂
I made a lot of mitakes when want to write English
Hi
There are typos in the following sentences.
It was Tom’s fault that the car got stolen. He left the doors unlocked, even thought he parked the care on the street.
So, fault show’s who is responsible for something bad.
Thanks for this important podcast. As for the sentence 'I called my sister in error. I was thinking to call my mom but I misdialed.', Can't we also say 'by mistake'?
Thanks for the heads up….all fixed!
Yes, that works too. Thanks for sharing, Mohamed
Me too……
