    Teacher Emily san Thank you kindly for your promt response and other edits and explanations you extended. They are kind and informative, among which I'm interested in next ones. "the “good personal hygiene” issue" because "the " defines and modifies a noun, therefore "issue "is required. How logical English is! "due to the fact that the rules could not be kept as scheduled" This phrase sounds me smart, I like it. Mr.IE

    Teacher Emily san Thank you for your kind answer and "consideration." you put on your edits. I see the natural flow of the preposition "by" and the clearer meaning of "for up to." "I will be very grateful if you can send me this information,” I love this sentence. "Dear, title and last name would be particularly appropriate if you had never met the person." I see , that interests me very much. Best regards,

    Teacher Emily san I’m grateful for your responses to my questions which are specific and easy to understand. And I find your other edits and explanations informative and interesting. For example, the way of using"return" and "response" interests me. The former is an act(tangble? or physical?) and the latter is a verbal or written answer. Best regards,

    Thank you for correcting my essay. Your explanations were very detailed, easy to understand, and helpful! When I wrote this essay, I didn’t notice I used a double negative. I should have been more careful.

    Teacher Emily san Thank you for your kind and informative edits. I see, the undertone of "pay for" is associated with money, and that of "provide", "yield"or so is connected with to make or to bear. I prefer the verb "yield" because this word may have something to do with a mystery where something comes from nothing. Thank you again and best regards,

    Teacher Emily san Thank you for your prompt answer. You mentioned "… the exact adjectives that can be used like this are not related to a grammatical rule, …" I see your point. What matters is collocations, not grammar. Natively natural usages are the final targets every learner is striving to reach. You wrote also "…the phrase "a fair share of tax" does not adequately explain the action involved in this idea." I recognized this phrase was vague, but I couldn't come up with other one. I'm delighted to read"…the idea of big companies paying a "fair share" of tax. " I'm inspired by the way of using present participle"paying." Best regards,
