- 1. Correct, but I can't think of a time I've ever said "least cheap" when I could have said "most expensive." 2. "This occurrence isn't so much an accident as it is a necessity." You can use the noun "occurrence" to describe something that happened. "Happening" is a word (like the movie "the Happening"), but I would use occurance in this context. 3. correct0 votedJanuary 26, 20171
- I think they are all good. How you would use each of them depends on the context. For example, if I was reading the newspaper and saw my picture somewhere in it, I would tell someone "There's a picture of me in the paper!" or "My picture is in the paper!" When you say "I have my picture in the paper," it sounds like the emphasis is on "my." Maybe if you wanted to brag to someone, you could say "I have MY picture in the paper. Where's YOURS?" In any case, the differences are very subtle. Someone else might have a completely different opinion on it.0 votedJanuary 26, 20170
A couple ideas:
"...to have a meal outside" In this context, you might consider saying "...to go out." This phrase is nice when you are saying that you are going to a restaurant or a movie (something outside of your house). When you say you are "having a meal outside", it could be understood that you are eating outdoors, like in a park or an outdoor restaurant.
"It seems the most classical food in Korea is the Korean Barbecue. So we ordered it at the restaurant." I would write this as "It seems the most classical food in Korea is the Korean Barbecue, so we ordered it at the restaurant." You could also keep it as two sentences by saying "It seems the most classical food in Korea is the Korean Barbecue. Because of this, we decided to order it."

However, my sister recently gave me a textbook for Christmas called "the Delights of Learning Turkish" by Yaşar Esendal Kuzucu. Here are a couple reasons reasons why I like it:
- All of the dialogues have an accompanying vocabulary list. In other books it was so frustrating not knowing the vocabulary when you are just trying to learn grammar.
- It's written in a way that's easy for a non-linguist to understand. So many other books are overly-academic in my opinion.
