Question

2. Which one of the following negative sentences is not possible?
1 I turned the music down in order not to disturb my neighbours
2 I turned the music down so as not to disturb my neighbours
3 I turned the music down so that I wouldn't disturb my neighbours
4 I turned the music down in order that I wouldn't disturb my neighbours
5 I turned the music down not to disturb my neighbours.

Answer 1

Propozitiile negative 1, 2 si 4 nu sunt posibile.

Answer 2

Cel din urma este gresit ( 5) .

Toate, in order not/ in order that i wouldn't, so as not/ so that i wouldn't ( informal/ formal speaking) exprima o intentie si sunt corecte, mai putin 'not to', care este cu usurinta dedus de cineva care vorbeste engleza, dar este exprimare incorecta, de cartier.

Sper ca ti-am fost de ajutor!
