Help with KEY!
 
I don´t know what happened... I just want to say thank you to the people who helped me out with the grammar question.. (but I�m not thankful to the people who just told me off for making the page look messy). Approve
In fact, I found those sentences in a worksheet I�ve downloaded from here. (I didn´t copy paste it from interent) And as it didn�t have a key I needed to ask in the forum. I couldn´t wait for another 7 days for the author to send me the answers.

I think the original poster copy and pasted some formatting they shouldn �t have without realising it.

To avoid this you can create a .txt file on your computer, copy and paste what you want to say into it, save it, close it, open it, copy and paste the same thing again and put it back here.

There might be an easier way but that �s how i figured it out.

It would be wonderful if you could fix it because it�s ruining the entire board.

@rabbiwho: �the original poster� = ME...:)
I �m sorry about this. I �m not sure if you see this post the same way as I can see it on my computer but it all looks stretched to the side and very messy! I can �t edit it nor delete it! ..
I �m so sorry..... ;(

If you can �t delete it, Victor can.  You can try sending him a message.  But make sure you save the answers somewhere.  When he deletes it, he may have to delete the whole thread.

 ï¿½ Dear ,samantha, the problem is that you copied and pasted the text from the Net. Thus, it was organized in a table that was also copied. Whenever you do something like this, copy and paste the text on word, select the whole text, and if you see that it�s a table or chart, select the option of change the table into a text. that way, you�ll erase the particular layout.

 
here is your text:
 

Hello,

I�ve recently downloaded a worksheet but when checking the exercises before printing; I noticed I can�t work out the answers to the following sentences.  I thought it would be quicker to ask here..

Would you help me please?

Edit: sorry for telling that you copied it from the Net. As it was copied from another worksheet , its author must have developed a table so it� s necessary to change it into a text before oasting it here.

Hi Sam
 
I �m in agreeance with Tancredo:
 

Some countries are forbidden to (must not / can not / should not) develop researches on cloning because of religious matters. [note error in ws with researches]

 

Many scientists aren�t able to (can not) continue their studies on cloning.

 

A lot of pet owners are likely to (might) clone their animals.

 

Twenty years ago, people had no possibility of (could not) cloning (clone) animals.

 

Governments� duty is to (must) control irrational use of cloning.

 
Cheers
