Are the following sentences correct? Hi everybody! Can someone help me with the following sentences? - "Nowadays I think we can no longer blame television for the lack of communication among people" (I know that it's "blame on someone for something", but I don't know how to say this sentence correct) - "It happened to all of us have met friends to have a drink and observe how everybody was paying attention to the cell phone." -" All depends on the use you may make with it" - "I recognize that I don't have a close relationship with my dad. However, it's when we watch together the news, that we find a topic to talk about and we are able to establish communication more than at any other time of the day." Thank you in advance :)

Are the following sentences correct?

Hi everybody! Can someone help me with the following sentences?

- "Nowadays I think we can no longer blame television for the lack of communication among people" (I know that it's "blame on someone for something", but I don't know how to say this sentence correctly)

- "It has happened to all of us where we have met friends to have a drink and observed (or "have seen" if you want to sound less formal) how everybody was paying attention to their cell phone."

-" All depends on what the use you may make with it"  (I am not 100% sure I understand your original intended meaning:  There is a set phrase in English 'what you make of it'  Did you intend to use that?)

- "I recognize that I don't have a close relationship with my dad. However, it's when we watch together the news together, that we find a topic to talk about and we are able to establish a connection (alternatively you could say "we are able to communicate") more than at any other time of the day."

Thank you in advance :)

 

*Nice job!

Hi everybody! Can someone help me with the following sentences?

- "Nowadays I think we can no longer blame television for the lack of communication among people" (I know that it's "blame on someone for something", but I don't know how to say this sentence correct) It can be said: We cannot blame it on TV anymore.

- "What happened to all of us was that we met friends to have a drink and observed how everybody was paying attention to their cell phones." There might be other ways of course.

-" It all depends on how you use it." Or it all has to with how you make use of it.

- "I recognize that I don't have a close relationship with my dad. However, it's when we watch the news together that we find a topic to talk about and we are able to establish communication more than any other time of the day."

Thank you in advance :)

 

I'm sure native speakers will be able to help you more but I couldn't resist sharing my suggestions :)
