What to speak of French, he does not know even English.
Not to speak of French, he does not even know English.

The last sentence seems correct but I am not sure about it. Will any senior verify it?
I think the other sentences should be written in the following way,


1) I have been ailing for three months.

We usually use present participle verb with 'have been'. So, ailing will be more suitable to use instead of ill

2) Send this letter to my home address.

At is rarely used with address. It is used when we have another object before address in sentence. To is usually used. At is correct but to makes more sense.

3) My friend told me that he was not to blame.

The sentence was in active voice and there is nothing wrong in saying I am not to blame. I think changing the voice in unnecessary here. The only mistake was that is was used instead of was.

4) The judge disposed of the case.

I made the same mistake in previous post. Thanks to Meme, he told me that of is used with dispose not off.

Waiting for third part.

i am sure about the last sentence of second part because i had consulted a book for it. it is correct.
the other query is regarding "not to be blamed". if we change the voice then will it not be counted as a correct one? because there in no grammatical mistake in the correct form.. i am still confused about it.
i am working on the third part.. Aamish you kindly do the fourth part and post it till evening.please

Hey,

In the correction for the sentence: He does not care for his money, according to the book Exploring the world of English the correction is as follows: He does not take care of his money.

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.

2) My friend told me he is not to blame:
Both the corrections are valid i.e. My friend told me he was not to blame/ My friend told me he was not to be blamed. This link explains the reasoning perfectly: http://english.stackexchange.com/que...e-to-be-blamed
The difference between the 2 options has to do with using an active infinitive (to blame) vs. a passive infinitive (to be blamed).

Regards,

Hey,

For the sentence: I am ill for three months,
The correction widely used in books/online is: I have been ill for three months.
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.

My suggestion would be to use the have been correction because I'm not sure whether the examiner takes 2 or 3 versions of an answer as the correct one in this paper. To be on the safe side, I'd recommend using have been since this correction is verifiable in books.

Regards,

A.O.A friends I'm little bit confused that which one of following sentences is grammatically correct. Can anyone help me that which one is correct with proper justifications

Thanks mashaaal can u suggest me any website for the purpose.

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.

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.


'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.

For which disease paracetamol is used.
Jis bemari k lea paracetamol istemal hoti hai.

For which disease is paracetamol used?
Kis bemari k lea paracetamol istemal hoti hai?
