Папина заметка от 25.01.06

Я сказал Илюхе: You are a little bun. 

Илюха сидел-сидел и начал рассказывать: Once upon a time there were three buns. One bun wanted to go to granny's, and one bun woke up and its sweater was dirty. And another little bun woke up and was finding (=looking for) mummy. And mummy-bun was doing a poo in the lavatory. And I asked: "Mummy, what are you doing?" And mummy-bun said: "Wait, I'll come out soon." And a little bun said: "I want to go to grandpa-bun and granny-bun!" :)

Илюха рассказывает Свете, что он купит мне новую клавиатуру (keyboard):
— Мама, ты не покупай папе эту досточку с кнопками. Я знаю магазин, где продаются такие досточки с кнопками. :)

English World Mistakes

Grammar Practice Book. Level 2

1. It should be c, not d. This one is obvious, if you look at the options.
2. It should be Whom, not Who. This one needs to be explained, because this is a mistake even native speakers of English make. So, what's the difference?
   
   Who  is a subject (can be mentally substituted by he), and whom is an object (can be mentally substituted by  him). The final m in whom and him will help you use who and whom correctly.
