  • Hi, I'm an English student from Brazil, and my teacher indicated me this blog for practice, and I absolutely loved it.
    There's such a doubt I had in this exercise: In the forth sentence, can the answer be "On no occasion had Emile told her he was afraid of asking her out." ?

    Thanks 🙂

  • Yes, it is even better. Come back often.
