| Apr 30 at 9:18 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | You sow grains on a farm [We learned how to sew amaranth on a farm.] . To sew is to use a needle and thread. -1 for the verbose answer. Although I do like the formatting. | |
| Apr 30 at 9:16 | comment | added | Mari-Lou A | "decorated [empty] soup can" adding empty might make it clearer what "can" is meant but why use such an unusual quirky phrase in the first place? It adds nothing to the answer. A "pen container" or better still a "penholder" is clear and easy to understand for learners. | |
| Apr 30 at 7:34 | comment | added | Eugene | To me it's all clear with the article "a" in "We learned how to sew amaranth on a farm". I.e. we went to a farm (one unspecified element of a set) and learned there how to sew amaranth. But I can't figure out what SHALL be the context where one may just say: "You know, some cats live on a farm". At least it ought to be something like:"Some cats [can] live on a farm and some cats [can] live in a house". If I'm being deluded in my concept then could you, please, give me the direct interpretation (and contexts for them) of: "Some animals live on a farm" and "Farmers grow wheat on a farm". | |
