1. They were so happy enough even to forget to eat their lunches.
(Is this sentence grammatical? Is the position of 'even' right?)
2. Where does she do volunteer work?
3. Where does she do the volunteer work?
4. Where does she do her volunteer work?
(Which ones are correct? What are the differences among them?)
1. is not grammatical. It should be:
The were so happy they forgot to eat their lunches.
Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are correct. There's not any real difference between them.
1. They were so happy that they forgot to eat their lunches.
1. Yes, the sentence is grammatical. The placement of "even" is also correct. In this sentence, "even" is used as an adverb to emphasize the extent of their happiness. It suggests that they were extremely happy to the point of forgetting to eat their lunches.
2. All three sentences are grammatically correct, but they have slightly different meanings:
- "Where does she do volunteer work?" This sentence implies that she is involved in volunteer work but does not specify the type or nature of the work.
- "Where does she do the volunteer work?" This sentence implies that there is a specific volunteer work that she is involved in. It suggests that there is a specific activity or program that she participates in regularly.
- "Where does she do her volunteer work?" This sentence is similar to the previous one, but it explicitly indicates that she has a personal commitment to volunteer work. It emphasizes that she has identified a particular cause or organization where she dedicates her time and effort.
So, the main difference lies in the level of specificity and personal commitment conveyed by each sentence.
