So, ich habe mich nochmal grün dazwischen gemogelt und grüße euch Beide!!!

Das ist goldrichtig Duckduck: She is not used to making speeches. – Sie ist nicht gewohnt Reden zu halten.

Falsch: She is not used to make speeches. Ein richtiger Satz mit “make” wäre: She used not to make speeches. – Früher hielt sie keine Reden.

Hoffentlich hat Lori deine Korrektur noch gesehen und wir beide werden das nie mehr vergessen!

Vielen Dank
