question
Hi, there
Can you help me with a question? Pleeease!!!
Let's say a mother is downstairs and she calls up her son (her son is upstairs) (Can I say "CALL UP HER SON or does it sound odd? and asks him to come downstairs. The son comes and the mother is holding a candy bar that is a bite short/half-eaten( Whch one would you say ? A bite short or half-eaten??????) and ask his son if he bit it. Her son flushes and smiles, so she says
"By the look of it, I can tell you did eat it"... Would it sound odd? What about "From what I can see/From what I am seeing, I can tell you did eat it"?? Or "It looks like you did eat it"? What would you say?
Thank you

1. Yes, call up sounds odd
2. A bite short or half-eaten would depend on the reality. If it is half eaten, then it i half eaten
3. No it wouldn't sound odd
4. All correct- I could also say "It seems that you did eat it"
