Hi,
Some suggestions:
Last Sunday all my friends congregated at the party (held at the)hall and (discussed) talked about our college days (discussed our college days)
Remember the first person singular pronoun should be a capital letter I
Alan
HI Alan,
You mean to say instead of “congregated” we have to use “held” in the below sentence
Last Sunday all my friends congregated at the party (held at the)hall and (discussed) talked about our college days (discussed our college days)
Could you give me explanation what is the difference in meaning “held” and “congregate” in the above sentence?
Regards
Pavan
Hi,
No, ‘congregated’ is all right. I wanted to say that: ‘the party was held at the hall’ because ‘party hall’ sounded unusual.
Alan
HI Alan,
Could you please rewrite the sentence which i had sent the previous Message
because if i write “the part was held at the hall” after congregated it doesn’t look good .
and I am writing the sentence below this line
"Last Sunday all my friends congregated at the party (held at the)hall and (discussed) talked about our college days (discussed our college days) "

Hi Pavan,
Let’s just say:
“Last Sunday all my friends congregated at the party, which was held at the hall and talked about our college days (discussed our college days)”.
Al I was trying to do was find an alternative for ‘party hall’ but I don’t really want to make a big issue about it.
Alan
Hi Alan,
Thanks for your response
Sorry , I didn’t understand properly , it is my mistake

“last sunday All my friends congregated at the party hall and discussed about our college days”
Last Sunday my friends gathered at the party-hall and talked about our college days."
‘L’ to be made capital.
Sunday - The first letters of the names of days and months are normally written with capital letters.
All my frtiends- Can you say for sure?
Party-hall - to refer to the place where you usually attend or hlod parties, a well known place to all of you.
Talking about - is more casual in nature than discussing. The nature of the suject matter indicates ‘talk’ rather than ‘discuss.’
Best of luck,

Sure – as long as the T is edited out.
You can use talk about or discuss, Pavan. You cannot say ‘discuss about’. I agree that ‘talk about’ fits your context better. ‘Discuss’ would sound too formal or serious.
