- "My daughter wants to be a psychology professor in a large university"
You might think,
"What can be wrong with this sentence?"Native speakers would say
"at a university"."In a university" would mean "inside a building", and it's not what the sentence says.
- "None of the information we cover today can be emailed nor discussed"
This one also looks quite correct....but it's not.
The correct sentence is;
"None of the information we cover today can be emailed OR discussed""Nor" is usually used together with "neither". E.g.
"He was neither rich, nor smart"."Nor" can be used without "neither" only when it's used to connect two independent clauses. E.g.
"He didn't show up at work today, nor did he call to explain. This is a routine for advanced learners, i.e. for people who care to clearly communicate what they mean. Native speakers don't react to "Present Perfect" or "Second Conditional". They won't be able to give you feedback on your use of conditionals, but they will absolutely know if you're being clear or confusing.
In other words, people either enjoy listening to you over an extended period of time ...or they struggle.
If you've ever given a talk in English, you know what I mean. It's easy to say ONE sentence and use your body language to SHOW what you mean.
It's not easy to speak for 20 or 45 minutes in front of an English-speaking audience. It doesn't matter if you're giving a speech or telling a funny story at a house party. If people can't hear what you mean, they will quickly disconnect from what you're saying.
I know that at least half of you have had this experience.
You know and FEEL that something is wrong with your English, but you don't know what EXACTLY is wrong and what to do about it.
