My friends, I hope you have had some rest from my grammar tests. So, I am back with my next grammar task for you not to relax completely. This time I have decided to add some Subjunctive and inversion. Please, be attentive as this test is not a piece of cake. You know my mistakes are unpredictable and there are a lot of them in each sentence. I have to admit using some of the sentences from your blogs as well as some your ideas. But we are a perfect team as you give me your ideas and inspire me and I give you the tasks and my explanations for your mistakes and am always happy to see you learn.
Well, there we go!
- Only having entered in building I recalled I forgot my laptop in the car being parked far of the front door.
- He is known being an unique architect of 19th century.
- She did not only tell her life story, also she confessed to cheat her husband.
- Holding the books for so long she is dropping them on the floor having felt her arms to get numb.
- If I had known, there might rain, I would take a umbrella along.
- The drink was too sweet so that I had it.
- He didn’t sleep during many hours and the best thing he had to do was having some rest.
- His mother was French and he spoke French language like he lived in Paris all his life.
- The pants I tried in the store were little long and I thought I have to shorten them.

It seems, I am not grown up enough to have the upper-intermediate level.
So pity! (((
By the way, Danny, all of your tests are not a piece of cake.
Yes, dear Bet, COMe/Go are used correctly
Let me try with come and go!
I will go to a party this evening. I will talk to the host when I come to the party? is it?
You are not less then me in terms of mercy!
Dear Bet, you are merciless! I will surely tell about my mistakes speaking Russian and I believe they will be even funnier than yours! But I did learn all vocabulary related to shopping, restaurants ans calling cabs.
Now, about your question. You know, we are in Florida now. So, we will go on vacation to Europe. We will move from here to some other place. But I will be able to find out if my Russian is good enough only after we come to Kiev as I hope to be able to speak Russian there.
Anyway why when we come to kiev why not when we go to kiev, yes I can revall I asked the same question a few days ago
Onee, dear, "Masha and the Bear". Masha is a Russian version of Marie, Mary. It is a lady's name. That animation is really great! I like it so much!
As to my dramatic/confusing/crazy mistakes in Russian, I don't have any doubts I make a lot, but I have a lot of doubts what I say! Hahahah! We often try to speak Russian at home and when Tanya explains my mistakes, I roll on the floor laughing! So, let's see what I will say in Kiev as we are going on vacation in a few weeks
Wow, Russian. I remember the movie Marsha and the Bear. Its language is so unique to hear.
Huffff,,, If I have time to learn a little. LOL....
Please remember that you can tell your nightmare here, Sir. :)))
Onee, hahaha! Yes, that sentence is about me as my mom was French and I have been bilingual since birth. I say "was French" as my mom passed away about 10 years ago.
As to other languages, I speak good French, some Spanish, some Vietnamese and I have been learning Russian (my wife's first language) for about a year. I am sure of my French as I lived in Paris for a year or so. As to my Russian, I will find it out when we come to Kiev! This summer I will try to speak myself there and let's see what I may say! Hahaha! It will be my next nightmare!
