под 8 как правильно будет я никогда не проваливал экзамены. перед "экзамены" надо предлог ставить или нет.
verochka91
правильно ли I saw to him in the tv yesterday. ответ на 10 про президента
verochka91
и 5 номер ответ: He stadied in the school?

пункт 8: правильное выражение fail an exam (exam - так сокращают слово examination). То есть предлоги никакие не нужны. пункт 10: если надо сказать "Я видел его по телевизору вчера", то это переводится так: "I saw him on TV yesterday." пункт 5: My father ddn't study at Oxford. He studied at school. (учиться в школе - to study at school, без артикля и с предлогом at)
verochka91
я в 8 предложении в отрицательной форме правильно написала: I never failed examination?
MaryFairy211
нужен артикль I never failed an examination или напишите так: I never failed examinations.
MaryFairy211
но вообще, правильнее даже использовать Present Perfect: I have never failed an examination. Ведь тут речь о вашей жизни до настоящего момента
