1. A person who tells actors in a film or play how to play their parts. (The definition of 'director')

( In the expression, what is the part of speech of 'in a film or play'? Is it an adjective phrase or an adverbial phrase?)

2. I dislike him to go abroad.
2-1. I dislike him going abroad.

(Are both right?)

3. I got 100 on the test.
3-1. I got a 100 on the test.
3-2. I got a 100 points on the test.
3-3. I got 100 points on the test.
(Which one is right?)

4. Your computer broke down.
4-1. Your computer was broken down.
4-2. Your computer was out of order.

(Which one is similar to #4? Are all the same and grammatical?)

5. During some shows, people can sit in the studio and watch.

5-1. For some shows, people can sit in the studio and watch.

(Can we use 'For' instead of 'During'?)

6. Is 'drama' the same as ' soap opera'? (question)

1. "in a film" = prepositional phrase

2. "him" is often used when it is incorrect. "I dislike HIS going abroad." Right now I can't think of another away.
3. I like 3.3 best.
4. Probably 4.2
5-1. You could but 5 is better.
6. "drama" can be te same as "soap opera" referring to TV. Of course, on the stage, in the theater, it is not the same.

Sra

1 - "in a film or play" is a prepositional phrase that modifies the noun "actors." Therefore, it's an adjective phrase.

2 - Sra is correct.
The only other ways I can think of to phrase this idea are these:
**I don't like that he goes abroad.
**I don't like him to go abroad.

1. The phrase "in a film or play" serves as an adverbial phrase in this case, modifying the verb "tells." It answers the question "where?" or "when?" the person is telling the actors.

2. Both sentences are grammatically correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. "I dislike him to go abroad" suggests a general aversion to him going abroad, while "I dislike him going abroad" specifically expresses a dislike for his action of going abroad.

3. All of the options are grammatically correct, but the widely used and preferred form is "I got 100 on the test" or "I got 100 points on the test."

4. All of the options are similar to the original sentence "Your computer broke down," but "Your computer was out of order" and "Your computer was down" are more commonly used to convey the same meaning. "Your computer was broken down" may also be used, but it is less common.

5. Yes, you can use "For" instead of "During" in this context to convey the same meaning. Both "During some shows, people can sit in the studio and watch" and "For some shows, people can sit in the studio and watch" are grammatically correct.

6. No, "drama" and "soap opera" are not exactly the same. "Drama" is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of plays, films, and television shows that are fictional and often serious. A "soap opera" specifically refers to a serialized television drama that focuses on the lives and relationships of multiple characters. While some soap operas can be categorized under the broader genre of drama, not all dramas are soap operas.
