Hej, jeg vil bare hurtigt have det rettet for stave fejl, og korrekt englelsk.

When Mrs. Wilkinson tries to explain the whole situation, thinks Billy's dad and Tony that Mrs. Wilkinson tries to deside Billy's life, what she probberly not is doing. She just wan't the best of Billy.(Hun vil bare have det bedste).
Tony shouts: "Dance, you're little shit!" But he forget that it isn't Billy's fault that he likes ballet and nor is it Mrs. Wilkinson's fault. She just sees a natual talen in him.

When Mrs. Wilkinson tries to explain the whole situation, Billy's dad and Tony think she is trying to control Billy's life, but she is probably not. She just wants the best from Billy.
Tony shouts: "dance, you little shit!" But he forgets that it isn't Billy's fault nor Mrs. Wilkinson's that he likes ballet. She just sees a natural in him.

When Mrs. Wilkinson tries to explain the whole situation, Billy's dad and Tony thinks that she is trying to control Billy's life, which she isnt. She just wants the best from Billy.
Tony shouts: "dance, you little shit!" But he forgets that it isn't Billy's fault nor Mrs. Wilkinson's that he likes ballet. She just sees him as a natural talent.

"Probably" in this sentence sticks out like a soar thumb.

Man kan ikke sige "Billy's dad and Tony thinks" - det er flertal, og hedder derfor THEY THINK!

Og ja, "which she isn't" lyder bedre.

noon #3

Hi noon, you're partly correct, and can understand where you are coming from.

I think
They think
He/she thinks
Tony thinks
Who thinks

As you are ending with "and Tony" you use "thinks". You can use "think" if you use words like all and both

i.e
father and Tony both think she is trying... or
father,mother,Tony, Michael, all think she is trying

The verb "think" leads back to the persons doing it - which is two in this case, so the subject is "they" in this sentence - therefore is has to be "they think."

You cannot just leave out whatever you want - and in this case it is obvious what the meaning of the sentence is: Billy's dad and Tony are convinced that she is trying to control Billy's life.

By the way - would you then also leave out Billy's dad in the sentence above and then turn it into "Billy's dad and Tony is convinced that..." ;-)

Okay, tak.

Så sådan ville sætningen lyde:

"Billy's dad and Tony is convinced that she is trying to comtrol Billy's life"

Kan du også rette disse sætninger :-) :

1) "That he can the letter without lookning(udenad), shows that he did and still miss his mother. And he loves her. And hadn't forgotten her.
I think his mother had leant Billy not to drink dircetly from a bottle, and when Billys goes do it, he sees his mother in front of him.
It remeind him of what she was use to say to billy, when he drinked directly from a bottle"

2) Billy's family is in the group cald: "stike"
Mrs. Wilkinson is middle-class.
And last but not least, the balletschool, which I sees like very high qualify.

3) Billy's family is not so rich like Mrs. Wilkinson's, and the balletschool.
So wenn Billy sees Mr's Wilkinson's houes, it surprise him a bit, because thay had so many beutiful and clean furniture.
When Billy and his father goes to audicion in London(The Royal Ballet School", do he sees thinks he never had seen before in his entire life.
It's namely the "upper class."

- 1000000000 gange tak :-)
Fortsæt go' tirsdag eftermiddag.

#6 - jeg er nu ret overbevist om, at du får fejl, hvis du skriver sætningerne som foreslået i #2. Nu tænker jeg på "think" - men lad det komme an på en prøve, og se hvad din lærer siger til det! :-)

Når der står "Billy's dad and Tony" så er det flertal, og derfor leder det efterfølgende udsagnsord tilbage til "they" (fordi de er to) - derfor hedder det "Billy's dad and Tony think", fordi det er det samme som "they think"

Er du med? :-)

Ja, så sætningen skal lyde således:

Billy's dad and Tony are convinced that she is trying to control Billy's life.

Noon...

I'm not here to argue with you, Im just here to help...

If you think you know better English than an English person, this is your right to do so. I have no need to boast my qulifications.

But stop trying to force lisa02 into your version of what you are convinced of.

She has heard your arguement, and she's heard mine... Let her make her own decision.

So, the best think to write is:

"Billy's dad and Tony both think she is trying to control Billy's life, which she isn't."

#11 - I'm definitely not here to argue either!

But I have talked to my old teacher, and a friend studying English at the university - and they said like me that the difference between singular og plural tense is basic knowledge!

And we both know that we sometimes speak different than the grammar tells us to! For instance many English speaking people say "it don't", when they know perfectly well that it is incorrect English.

But I just want to help Lisa02 the best way possible! Please notice the word help - I'm not forcing anybody! :-)
