    Hello Teacher Rupert. Thank you very much for sharing your great lessons. And let me say that I am very proud of all the lessons you have taught me.❤️😊🙏
    My exercises
    1, Management has "shown that" this project will be absolutely perfect.
    2, They said they have asked "questions"and "discussed" finding partners to "support" the project.
    3, The team "disagreed" that project management was not aligned "with" the desired "objectives"
    4, The team is "confused" about project assessments that "define" tasks for difficult tasks.
    I respect Teacher Rupert 😊👍

      Some excellent answers there! The only one I wasn't sure about was "define" - we normally use different words either side of "as", because we are explaining the meaning of a word in a new/different way. But, apart from that, you've used some complicated words very well. 😀

      Thank you very much for the useful advice.
      Define
      1, Fences define neighbours.
      2, Dams define rivers.
      3, The concept of "government" is very difficult to define and has always been va subject of politics and debate.
      4, The Songkran Water Festival in Thailand began as a traditional cultural tradition. It has become a huge task and difficult to define.
      5, I can define learning as thinking, doing, and listening intently to the teacher about the new lessons being taught.

      You have raised an important point; "define" is not just used as a reporting verb. In the examples you have given, it is used (correctly) in other ways.
      As a reporting verb, it may appear like this:
      "Smith (2023) defines oceans as large areas of sea with no land in the way"

    Respected sir, being the greatest grammarian of all time on this planet, you are earnestly entreated with folded hands to solve the following Narration -related issue that different teachers have approached differently.Direct-The lady said to the boy,"Was i bothering you when i turned the corner"(Change it into an Indirect speech).

      There are some possibilities (e.g. the corner was turned by me), but in general I wouldn't convert such a question into the passive. The active form is already quite complex, and by adding further complexity through using the passive, it starts to become difficult to read 🙂

      The lady asked/inquired/wanted to know if she was bothering him when she turned the corner

      No change in tense is an option

      The sentence uttered somehow scratches ears, though it sounds acceptable
