Grammar
A few sentences to correct
Could you help me to correct these setences, please:
1) I am very keen on doing the shopping – this is my way of relaxation - i think it's incorrect,
as we say: way of doing sth, way to do sth, I think we should say:
2)this is my way of relaxing
3)this is my way to relax
Could we also say:
4)I am very keen on doing the shopping – this is my understanding of relaxation, sport and entertainment.
I am describing a new shopping centre in my town:
5) I visited it the first time on Thursday. Is it ok? or should I say:
6)I had visited it the first time on Thursday.
7) Nowadays, there are at least three supermarkets in each city. Is the word 'each' ok? I feel it doesn't match here..shouldn't we say : 'every'. Does the word 'each' have specific connotations? For example:
Nowadays, there are at least three supermarkets in each city in Germany.
I would appreciate your help.
Thank you!
