I am confused a bit... Can anyone help? The problem is to determine the level of my English. Anyone here knows good(and trusted) online test?
TOEFL =)
BTW, давиче, had passed the test (brought by English-Kazakh Center or smth. like that). Found couple of errors on it Manager explained me that the questions and answers were prepared by natives =)
the first error had been just 'очепятка', but the 2d... here is the test's question:
You had better ___ harder.
1. work
2. to work
3. worked
4. blablabla
I'd chosen 2d. But the correct answer is 1st. Who explains why?
I think I can explain. ничего если по-русски? В данном случаем, мы имеем дело с устойчивым оборотом, котрый означает "Вы лучше бы сделали то или это". Кстати, оборот "you/he/she'd better do this or that" - один из моих любимых, вечно ухитряюсь его куда-нибудь засунуть
