i am working on the third part.. Aamish you kindly do the fourth part and post it till evening.please  |
Indeed there is no grammatical mistake in 'not to be blamed'. But where there is no need to change the voice so we should not do it. Only mistake was that
'is' was used instead of
'was'.
I am a bit busy. I may not be able to do fourth part today. But I will surely do it in leisure time

Care for is problematic when used with his money because generally, care for is used for people. Care about is used for those things that mean important to you. [ http://english.stackexchange.com/que...-and-care-for].
Now, I'm not sure exactly in which context this sentence is being used here.
It could mean that money is of no value to him, in which case he does not care about his money is correct.
However, if the sentence is supposed to imply that he does not know how to look after his money (care for=take care of) then the correction take care of would be used. Unfortunately, I can't be sure which correction is the right one. |
Sir, 'care for' and 'take care of' is used where we want to say 'Khayal rakhna' and 'care about' is used in the sense of 'fikar hona' or 'Parwah hona'. For example, 'I care for my parents' or 'I take care of my parents' means 'Mein apne walden ka khayal rakhta hun'. 'I do not care about her' means 'Mujhe uski fikar nahi' or 'Mujhe uski parwah nahi'. 'About' will be used. We can't say 'care for money'. 'Care about money' makes sense.
Sir please post the page number of Exploring the World of English.

Now, your correction is equally valid: I have been ailing for three months, it's simply the present perfect continuous tense which suggests that you were ill 3 months ago and you are still ill now.
Have been ill for 3 months means you were ill 3 months ago but now your illness is over.

'I remained ill for three month' gives the sense that I was ill but now I am fine. 'Have been' is not used in the sense the thing happening is past has stopped. And with 'have been' it is necessary to use present participle verb. Correct sentence will be,
I have been ailing for three months.
