    I think what the child means by “one” : he means a friend provides you one pill (or other drug dose)?

    I would resist the urge to edit and simply ask him what he means. Go over the sentence with him and GET BRIEF! They need light. Or you can keep them light. If he sees any natural divisions in a sentence, ask him what he sees. How punctuation breaks up sentences?

    Medicine is good when your family

    gives it to you — not when your friend gives you one or when you take it by yourself (be it with friends or family)

    Doing e to on, or just dash, leaves you with his words and perfect grammatical sentence?

    The meme of good hair is just as common here in American English. I was going to say faux meme, but no one would forgive that pun. I want to be blonde. TV announcers and politicians. Everyone has a good hair.

    Scott Adams’ comic strip Dilbert calls this “executive hair” and this has entered the political vocabulary, at least. When it comes to hair, do some people with “good” hair look lovely, but those who don’t are fine? What are the reasons for that being so hard on people who don’t have hair? Why not ask larry dave?

    Of course, bad hair is equal to good hair. The opposite is good hair. Americans even speak of “having a bad hair day” when nothing seems to be going right with their appearance (or their day) in general.

    What three of them would you go with? I mean I chose X. Unless my teacher says at least the following, it is grammatical

    English to use
    any of the
    following: I am choosing
    X. I will choose
    X. These allegations suggest

    you are relating to another party a choice it has made. If you were to pass a court ruling in English, you would understand to be announcing your

    decision.

    How do you say the semicolon really? He was determined to discern what and for whom a national theatre

    should be… He had no interest in having it strictly for an exclusive club.

    Is the first clause an elaboration of the last?

    Are you going anywhere?

    Is not a mistake; it’s merely redundant. / // and not even correct. (I didn’t mean to mean incorrect if that’s the correct word or not)? Do teachers say, ‘where are you going’ or other “what you are looking for”, but take their advice with a grain of salt?

    But you can’t use the naked “Where are you coming?” Where are you coming from here are some suggestions on

    “Indicating direction with from”.

    What position are you traveling from in English with adverbs whither and whence?

    Where got I? What’s

    where are yu going and how do

    you come from? Why

    are you there? What

    were handy additions to the vocabulary, but unfortunately they are now obsolete? You can hardly use them without sounding strange, ironic, or

    supercilious.
