to hear from, of and about.... How do I deal with the above mentioned expressions? Especially "from" and "of" - could anyone explain the difference, please? Hm, yes. I have already had a look in the dictionary. But I didn't find any differences.Perhaps I'll better give an example: So if I someone asks: -Have you heard anything from your sister recently? Would I answer: Yes, I've heard from her yesterday Or would I say: Yes, I've heard of her, yesterday ?

But that's wrong, isn't it? I have written in some home exercises: "After having lunch we all sat together playing cards and drinking tea, until it was time to go to bed". My teacher didn't corrected it..so it should be correct. But after I had another look at some grammar rules I'm now thinking, that instead of the continuous "having" the past perfect would have been more correct. Wouldn't it? @Eli: Thank you very much for your corrections! @Cherry: Sorry, but I'm quite a little confused now about the tenses. The past perfect continuous tense would be:"After we had having lunch..." And your last suggestion: "After having had lunch.." is the present perfect continuous tense. "had having" and "having had" .. puhh that sounds so wrong at the moment?!

There's several possibilities.. I have a little problem with following dialogue in my exercises: Question: I want to go out and abroad in London. What could your recommend? Answer: There's several possibilities. why do you say "there is" and not "there are?" The same with: "There's masses to do" is it just colloquial language or does there exist any special reason for saying it this way? @Mr. Wright: Yes, of course you are right. The visitors came from abroad, and wanted to go out and about. Obviously I'm a little bit confused today. :-)

What is the right position for the word 'really' and 'already' in these sentences? Which one is correct? You must really be fed up with... You really must be fed up with...
