zeta Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 What is wrong with this sentence: For thousands of years, people HAVE USED some KIND of refrigeration COOLING beverages and preserve EDIBLES. And how to correct it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
confuse Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 some KINDS? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hainp Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Yes, kind -> kinds (means sorts, types, classes...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeta Posted October 10, 2005 Author Share Posted October 10, 2005 Yes, I thought so too. But the answer is COOLING. How should it be if it is not cooling? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hainp Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Oh, sorry Zeta, I made a mistake. Some kind = a kind (indefinite kind, some doesn't mean several). its's ok. I think that cooling -> to cool. For thousands of years, people HAVE USED some KIND of refrigeration TO COOL beverages and (TO) preserve EDIBLES. It's tricky!
