Lesson(s)s 73, 87, and 89

Lesson 73 : "The wWay to King Street"

In English, the first letter of all nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc., is capitalized in the title.

Mrs. Mills wanted to go King Street, but she didn't know London very well.

She lost her way.

She said to herself that she canould ask a man when she saw him.

This is technically grammatically correct but very confusing for the reader. It would most likely be stated, "When she saw a man, she said to herself, "I can ask him"".

She asked him that how there wenthow to get there, but the man couldn't understand English because he was a tourist.

UThat was, until the man takeook out his phrasebook.

-

Why did Mrs. Mills ask athe man that how to go King Street?

Why didn't Mrs. Mills know that the man iwas a tourist?

Hise wasn't wearing hadn't tourist proof at firstlanything touristy.

UThat was, until the man takeook out his phrasebook.

You would have to provide some context for this sentence.

Lesson 87 : "A cCar cCrash"

In English, the first letter of all nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, etc., is capitalized in the title.

Mr. Wood had a crash three days ago.

"Suggested" and "have to" sound kind of like oxymorons.

-

"Repairing" something is to say that that object is being fixed.

Why did the “mechanics” have to be deleted? Can you edit it again? I see the correction is messing.

“He wasn’t wearing anything tourist.” Is this correct grammar?

This unfortunately isn't correct grammar. "Tourist" is a noun while "touristy" is an adjetive.

Technically, "the mechanics" didn't have to be deleted, but this way it sounds more natural and less repetitive, as "the mechanics" was used in the previous sentence.

Is it possible that you mean "a board"? I don't think "broad" is a noun, although it's an adjetive.

I've honestly never heard of this before, but it might be from another region. The only expressions that I can think of like this would be "to have the last laugh (non-applicable here)" and "to have the final say".

I double-checked and "He wasn't wearing anything touristy" is grammatically correct, but if you wanted to include the word tourist you could say, "He wasn't wearing anything that made him look like a tourist".

A "board" could be used to describe the object in the picture, but it's more commonly referred to as a "sign" or a "for-sale sign" (in this case).

Now you know it was a sign, so do this correction need to edit?

Yes, the correction would still need to be edited, as the sentence wasn't grammatically correct. Moreover, you would need to say either, "a board with "for sale" written on it" or "a for-sale sign". I did notice that you keep writing "broad" instead of "board", which will cause confusion as "broad" means large or wide, while "board" is a synonym for plank.

I do speak Eastern New England English, though it shouldn't be a problem here if you were looking for a different dialect, as I mostly corrected grammatical concepts, which are pretty much standard throughout (as we all learn "Standard English" in school).

It should be "Lessons" as you are referring to more than one lesson. As for "that was, until...", I can't really explain the grammar behind it, but it just sounded natural to me for this sentence. You needed some sort of transition, so this construction seemed to fit. I've found some other example sentences with it and listed them below.

1. That was, until a new contender appeared on the scene.

2. That was, until two days ago, when she called me out of the blue.

3. That was, until real life came looking for me.

I hope these help!
