what did I do wrong?
|
|
the last week I had a test, this is was the sentence: Rewrite the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given. Use between two and five words.
Noel is not usually in a bad mood.
like It is .................... in a bad mood
my answer was: It is not Noel like to be in a bad mood.
and i dont know what did i do wrong? is there another way to do it? |

You had it, except for your word order. It should have been It is not like Noel to be in a bad mood. Bruce |

or to keep not+usual(ly):
It is unusual to see Noel in a bad mood/ It is not usual to see Noel in a bad mood.
or as Bruce said ....
Or... .maybe we could even let out the �like � , and the keep Meyling �s structure ?
...What would natives say about (I �m really less sure here):
It isnot Noel to be in a bad mood. ???

It is not like Noel to be in a bad mood. PS: Pelerine�s post below is correct.

Oups: with �like � :
It is (so) unlike Noel to be in a bad mood./ It is not like Noel to be in a bad mood.(Back to start ;o) |

Hi Meyling
Just a teeny-weeny question: Are you a teacher?

I would say:" It�s not often that Noel is in a bad mood"

Many of you are missing the fact that the answer must use the word "like". Bruce |

I believe you could have used yanogator �s suggestion, or derivate the word "likely"
It is not likely to see .... It is unlikely....
Cheers,
