Dear Erin, Thank you for your attention Unfortunately I can not find and buy it in Indonesia I have called to any institution (incl. ETS representative office) but they don't provide it. Frankly, I don't know how to buy it from abroad How long the seller will send it to me, the minimum amount, Can I buy it without Credit Card, etc. Other resources/books are also difficult to find in Indonesia. Regards Iguh

Dear vuhl 74 and huangluong Thanks a lot Sorry my reply was so late. Iguh

Dear hoangluong and vuhl74 For 1st question, I need some explanations : - Are you sure the word 'steamship' should be 'steamships' (plural), because it is related to 'riverboat' (singular noun). - Can we say "The Mississippi riverboat evolved from simpler steamship/s ..." It means that 'the river boat' did something (evolved) eventhough it is not a live-thing (human, animal, plants). So I am not sure we can use intransitive verb here. I think the answer is d, should be 'passanger transportation' iguh

Dear Erin, As your request, I posted my question to this forum : Where can I find the 1997 and 1998 Official TOEFL Publications ? Thank you Regards Iguh

Dear ttaann But we can say : One of the world's best-selling authors, Louis L'Ampur said that he has written 101 books, mostly western.
-
Dear ttaann I agree with your answer By the way especially for no. 4, is it a correct sentence "Technological inventions were not of much interest ........" Can we use "were not of ...."

Dear all, I have another question for discussing. 1. Upon hatching, ______ . (a) young ducks know how to swim (b) swimming is known by young ducks. © the knowledge of swimming is in young ducks (d) how to swim is known in young ducks Answer key : a I do not agree with the answer key, because no choices are correct. The TestMagic Grammar Reference says that "intro-ing" should use Subject Verb Inversion, wherein inversion is obligatory. So the sentence should be "Upon hatching, do young ducks know how to swim". Pls give your opinion Thanks

Adverb or Adjective? A thunderhead, dense clouds that rise..
iguh_budi replied to iguh_budi's topic in TOEFL Grammar
Dear vvaann I am not sure that "high" is an adverb, because it modify rise (a verb), therefore should be "highly". To Hoang luong I don't agree with you, because "dense clouds .....' is an adjective clause that modify noun in which as Subject (A thunderhead), so the real Subject (A tunderhead) is Single Noun and verb "produce" should be "produces". Pls, what is the answer ? C or D Thanks iguh -

Hello erdtek Thank you so much Regards

Hi I have a questions : Do we have to use verb "is" in 'anticipatory it' (if it means belief/knowledge)? Can we use "was" (instead of "is") ? For example : It is believed that a buried treasure was hidden near here. (There is a word "was" in the second clause, so I think we have to use "It was believed"). Pls help me Thank you for your kind attention Regards
-
Hi ... Erin I agree with you, we have to put THE. Is it because of qualifying phrase "of special symbols" ? Pls give your explanation Thanks
-
Hi...hnkien...thank you for your explanation So, I conclude that we can put 'noun' between "more" and "than". Is it right ???? To : Chaiyachoti Yes, I will take TOEIC test next year I think TOEFL question and TOEIC question is the same (at least in grammar part), and I use this discussion forum to ask some questions to you all participants. To Phuong, at noon, and the others, thank you Best regards

The answer key (Petersons' book) is C, because of the word "right now". I am not sure, because the sentence must be in passive form, so I choose D.
