Which one did you not get? I also got 9/10 and just feel curious if it's the same one or a different one? For me it was the one about the use of "will" as an indicator if an annoying habit, I thought "has to" would be there, but it's not really one word, so, not the answer that was expected. "Will" was an option that has been wiped out of my memory at some point 😅

[@busybee1066]

Thank you Lucy, for another interesting lesson of English. Grammar! I knew that would end with me having a not too bad intuiton for choosing the right missing words and correct sentences, without being able to explain the underlying rules. I plain forgot most of them... Actually, I do not even remember a lot of grammar rules of my native language. Does anyone really? My German is still good, I feel the grammar 😘

[@tytn9978]

German is MY birth-language, but I came to Canada at the age of 6 and so lost much of it in the process of learning over the years English, followed by French, Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, and relearning German. I am sure that contemporary German has softened many of the hard-rules it once contained, just as English has softened its rules, even though we retain a few die-hides who declaim that "Poor Grammar is something up with which I will not put!"

[@alastairwatson3201]

9/10. I had never heard of using “will” to signify something done habitually. “My neighbour habitually plays music … “ sounds better - to my mind, at least - and is, arguably, a clearer way to express the concept described. However, I accept what you say; it makes reasonable sense, even if it’s not how I’d phrase the statement.

[@PhoenixRising-nm1he]

I agree, but the use of 'will', with a slight vocal emphasis on the words '...will play music...', implies annoyance.

[@starfishsystems]

It's a particularly British expression. One example that comes to mind is from an old Doctor Who episode: (Peevishly) "Well if you WILL lead such a rackety life..." Notice the conditional voice. It's not strictly necessary for this construction, but I think it hints at how it may have come into practice. It implies a consequence to the action, and thereby opens the door to a moral judgment about the action itself.

"Whom does this jacket belong to" is interesting, because the same sort of VERY precise grammarians who would insist on 'whom' will also tell you that no sentence should end with a preposition or conjunction. They would all say "To whom..." "Whom did you see?" therefore works better, and would be acceptable to the pedant; but still sounds awkward.

I'm grateful for your use of grammatical terms when reviewing the questions. While it's true that people pick up their fitst language unconsciously, and rote practice has an important place in how we become comfortable with a new language, it's illuminating and fun to be able to understand the syntax of a language in a more abstract form. How else could we hope to explain the differences between: Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
