What does INTERVIEWED PLAN mean in this sentence? Hello! I take the following sentence from a text, "Many companies interviewed plan to hire more personnel." I was wondering what INTERVIEWED PLAN mean in this case. 1 In this case, is "plan" a noun or a verb? If it is a noun, I think there should be an article before it. If it is a verb, I think there should be "to" before it, or it should be "planning" at least! Could you please give me some explanation? Thank you very much!

Please help me with this question! These sentences are from an English exercise, "The Merston City Careers Counseling service, in association with the Merston City Board of Education, would like to ask all Merston City High schools to join the "Stay in School campaign." Taking part is simple. Please display the posters in your classrooms." And the question is "Where will the posters be displayed?" and the answer is: In Merston City high school classrooms. I'm not quite satisfied with this answer as "Merston City high school classrooms" give me the impression that they want to display the posters in all classrooms at a high school called Merston City. To precisely, it should be: in Merston City high schools' classrooms. Is this correct? Or does "Merston City high school classrooms" already mean what I've said. Thank you very much for your kind help!

ON the morning or IN the morning? I saw these two sentences in an English book, and I was astonished. Here they are: 1 Happiness is sitting on a sofa ON A WINTER EVENING with a box of chocolates, watching a feel-good film, preferably one that makes me cry. 2 I love waking up ON A SUNNY MORNING. I always use the preposition IN with the parts of the day ( can I call morning, afternoon, evening like this?), it was the first time I had seen people used the preposition ON with them. Could you please explain this for me? Thank you very much!

[IETLS Writing Task 1] Weekly earnings of full-time graduate employees by type of degree and age. The graph demonstrates weekly wages of graduate employees of different age groups in 2002. The first key feature shows that graduates with other qualifications earned the most money of all employees, except the oldest groups. (aged between 51-55 and 56-60) On the other hand, employees with only a degree had the lowest income overall of all age groups. Besides, all thee graduate groups experienced a dramatic rise in income between ages 21-25 and 41-45. To be more specific, the wages of employees with a first degree and a higher degree reached a high point of just above 700 pounds and around 750 pounds at ages 41-45, whereas those with other qualifications reached their maximum slightly earlier at ages 36-40. However, income of this group saw a steady drop then, dipping to approximately 690 pounds at ages 56-60. Meanwhile, the income of employees with a higher degree rose sharply to reach the highest point of around 790 pounds at ages 56-60.
