Writeacher, what time is in your country now? I really need you to check my last sentence. I hope you are not too busy with your grandchildren.
Thank you very much for your invaluable help.
1) In particular, we may be interested in two different types of two-week courses: one for students, whose level usually ranges from low intermediate to upper intermediate; and one for those Italian teachers (especially science, history, and arts teachers) who will have to teach their subject in English in two years' time and usually have a low intermediate knowledge of the language.
2) Why is the sentence "Write to me soon" possible whereas "As I wrote to you" is a mistake?
Hi, Henry ~ It's about 5:30 pm (CST) here right now! Grandkids are all safely at home and so's their mom!!
1) OK
2) Why is the sentence "Write to me soon" possible whereas "As I wrote to you" is a mistake?
Those are not expressing the same thoughts.
"Write to me soon" is usually put at the end of a letter or email. It's a way to wind things up.
"As I wrote to you" is better phrased without "to" -- and it's usually used as introductory to reminding the addressee what you had discussed/written about before.
I apologize for any confusion, but I am not Writeacher and I cannot provide you with the current time in any specific country. However, I can help you with your questions regarding your sentences!
In your first sentence, you are discussing two different types of two-week courses. It is clear and well-written. However, there is a small suggestion for improvement. Instead of using "which" in the phrase "which will have to teach their subject in English," it would be better to use "who" because you are referring to the teachers as people.
So, the revised sentence would be: "one for those Italian teachers (especially science, history, and arts teachers) who will have to teach their subject in English in two years' time and usually have a low intermediate knowledge of the language."
Regarding your second question, "Write to me soon" is grammatically correct because it is a complete sentence with a subject (You, understood), a verb (Write), and an object (me). On the other hand, "As I wrote to you" is not necessarily incorrect, but it might be considered awkward or less commonly used in that particular form. It could be written as "As I have already written to you" or simply "As I wrote you."
I hope these explanations help you! If you have any further questions or need more clarifications, feel free to ask.
