[English] Homework xD help with 1 sentence

[Nervos]

 

A+

so lucky all of you...in my country its not with words...its with numbers....

[BassHunter]

And the correct answer is:

 

"He may have been in a shower, so he couldn't hear the bell"

 

That's what my English teacher said. And when I read what Coyote said "He may had been having a...", he answer:

 

'oh well that's a little too much, isn't it?'.. thanks for your effort guys anyways :)

[Coyote™]

'oh well that's a little too much, isn't it?'

 

Failed answer is failed.

 

EDIT: Wait.. He may have been in a shower? Jesus, tell your teacher that he needs a few english lessons. Being in a shower means being in the shower. Having a shower means washing yourself (having a shower).

Failed answer is failed.

Υes, sure.

[Coyote™]

Υes, sure.

 

You don't even know the proper rules of the tenses, do you think that your answer now hurt me?

Fυck, you'll have to try harder kiddo.

I don't think the the main point is about having shower or being in the shower, I think we just need to express a sentence saying that a person was unable to hear the bell ringing.

[Erol]

The word "shower" can't be used with the verb "have", but with the verb "take".

If you say "I'm having a shower", that means that you're eating a piece of your tub. rofl.

WTF has to do the eating there?!

 

have - has - had

 

he had a showed

i'm having a shower

i'm gonna take a shower

[`Vaxil]

He may was taking a shower, so he couldn't hear the bell.

[Coyote™]

I don't think the the main point is about having shower or being in the shower, I think we just need to express a sentence saying that a person was unable to hear the bell ringing.

 

The first sentence says:

"Dunno dude, I guess he was having a shower, so he prolly couldn't hear the bell"

The one that your teacher gave says:

"Dunno mate, I guess that he was in the shower so he prolly couldn't hear the bell"

 

In this part of UOE you have to rewrite the sentence, but leaving it with the same meaning.

Not change a part of it, just so that another can be the same.

@Erol

Special uses of "have" dude.

 

@Anima

Yes, you were.

[Coyote™]

I was right.

he may have been taking a shower...

"He may have been in a shower, so he couldn't hear the bell"

 

None of us was, according to what the teacher said.

[Fortuna]

None of us was, according to what the teacher said.

 

He may needed to to do it, so that it would match the word limit.

[Coyote™]

He may needed to to do it, so that it would match the word limit.

 

Both of them have 4 words at total ;p
