Hello everyone
I write this statement and I hope someone can advice me.
In order to improve students activity, teacher is used to technology in classroom.
I need
Please correct my grammar
And - can I considered this sentence as academic writing?
Thank you
Hi, here are my suggestions. I guess this is âacademic writingâ, though I am not exactly sure of that defintion.
I guess you mean sentences you might find in a journal article? I guess this might fit the bill, but âstudentsâ activityâ is too vague.
Hi, here âutilizingâ is a verb acting like a noun - in other words, a gerund. Even though it is acting like a noun, it can still have an object and here technology is the verbâs object.
Here is a similar example: âEvery Saturday morning, I enjoy cooking breakfast for my family.â
âcookingâ is the gerund here, it is the thing that I enjoy. âbreakfastâ is the object of cooking, it is what I am cooking.
This use of would is in conformity with the practice adopted while reporting. For example, look at the following:
He said, âI am not well, so I will not be able to attend the office today.â This sentence, if reported, will change as indicated below:
He said that he was not well, so he would not be able to attend the office that day. (All the verbs in the reported speech are in the past so as to be consistent)
