Hi, can you check these sentences, please? 1) He has only a slight cold, so he's okay. 2) He didn't want to be in charge of the project because it meant to take a serious commitment. 3) He wasn't the best athlete, as a matter of fact, he was even below average. 4) This short introduction video can't reflect the whole idea of the project. 5) You can eat expired product but not be surprised if you'll have problem with your stomach. 6) Presence of money won't make you happy.

Hi, here's another opinion, but I agree with Meaghan, too. 1) He has only a slight cold, so he's okay. >>He only has a slight cold, so he's okay. 2) He didn't want to be in charge of the project because it meant to take a serious commitment.>> He didn't want to be in charge of the project because it meant a serious commitment (to take is understood) 3) He wasn't the best athlete, as a matter of fact, he was even below average. 4) This short introduction video can't reflect the whole idea of the project. >> This short introduction video can't capture the scope of the project. 5) You can eat expired product but not be surprised if you'll have problem with your stomach.>> You can eat expired products, but don't be surprised if you have stomach problems. 6) Presence of money won't make you happy.>>Having money won't make you happy. Hope that helps! Best, Martha

Hi Ivan! I'm sending you my thoughts on your sentences. There may be different opinions on this, but here are my corrections: 1) He has only a slight cold, so he's okay. (Totally fine!) 2) He didn't want to be in charge of the project because it meant to take a serious commitment.>> He didn't want to be in charge of the project because it meant making a serious commitment. OR>>> He didn't want to be in charge of the project because it meant he would have to make a serious commitment. 3) He wasn't the best athlete, as a matter of fact, he was even below average. (Fine!) 4) This short introduction video can't reflect the whole idea of the project. (Fine!) 5) You can eat expired product but not be surprised if you'll have problem with your stomach. >> You can eat expired products, but don't be surprised if you have problems with your stomach. 6) Presence of money won't make you happy.>> The presence of money won't make you happy. Hope that helps :) Meaghan
