Ответ от учителя
The note is missing several pronouns, articles, and verbs. Here is a breakdown of what is missing or abbreviated:
Pronouns:
— The note does not include any pronouns to refer to Dan or Will. It simply uses their names.
— The note also does not include any pronouns to refer to Patsy herself. She does not use «I» or «me» in the note.
Articles:
— The note does not include any articles (a, an, the). For example, it says «ballet lesson» instead of «a ballet lesson.»
Verbs:
— The note abbreviates «be» as «b» in the phrase «Will b late.» This is a common abbreviation in informal communication like text messages or notes.
— The note does not include a verb in the second sentence. It simply says «At ballet lesson ’til 6.» The verb «is» is implied: «Will be at ballet lesson ’til 6.»
— The note does not include a verb in the third sentence either. It simply says «Tell others!» The verb «to» is implied: «Tell others that Will will be late for the party.»
Overall, the note is written in a very informal style with many missing or abbreviated words. It gets the message across, but it would not be appropriate for a more formal or professional setting.
