Answer to a question about New Concept English 3 10

for advertising exerts subtle influence on us.

This is a prepositional phrase led by for, followed by a present participle, indicating that it is in progress.

The meaning of the sentence is: because advertising has a subtle effect on us.

advertising is a gerund, it is different from the noun advertisement, it contains the meaning of a verb, which can be understood as:"Advertise, advertise", while nouns can only be understood as:"Advertisement"。This sentence can be understood as: because advertising has a subtle impact on us.

Hello, for advertising exerts a sutble influence on us The main purpose of not using advertisement is the ** of these two (nouns). In English, adjectives or noun words that are converted from present or past participles are usually associated with the (action) of the verb, while nouns converted with the suffix ment are usually linked to the (state) of the action.

Advertising emphasizes that the activity of investing in advertising and advertising refers to the frequent advertising and investment activities of merchants exerts a subtle influence on us;

Advertisement emphasizes the ad itself, while the advertisement is usually a (static) advertisement, which is only the content of the advertisement, not the action of the advertisement.

So what this article wants to emphasize is that the frequent (advertising) activities of (merchants) or (manufacturers) have played a subtle role in us; Because the advertising itself is dead, while the advertising of the merchant is alive.

Hello, thought my aunt pursued what was, in those days, an enlightened policyIf what was is omitted, the semantics will change.

The sentence in those days is (time adverbial), which is placed in what was and an enlightened policy for emphasis. Sentence restructuring is:

though my aunt pursued what was an enlightened policy in those days

What leads (object clause) as pursued (object), whereas what acts as (subject) in clause. What was and in those days vaguely covered (then, then) yes (enlightened policy), but (not now). If I remove it, it becomes:

Though my aunt pursued an enlightened policy is grammatically fine, but it loses its vague meaning and only means that it is still considered enlightened, and it loses its contrasting effect.

though my aunt pushed what was, in those days, an enlightened policy.

It cannot be changed to: though my aunt pushed an englitened policy

Because what was meant to be, the changed sentence loses that meaning.

It wasn't until "all his holidays were over" that he made a great decision to buy 37 postcards there, but because he didn't know Italian, he didn't even write a single word.

holiday 1, interpreted as [holiday], [holiday], without s

2. Interpreted as [holiday], commonly used in plural form, to add s. (mostly British usage).

Holidays here means that the holiday is not just one day, but multiple days, so the plural concept should be used.

Holiday here refers to a day-by-day holiday, in the plural.
