Today's English lesson looks at sentence structure. There is a grammar mistake in each of the eight sentences below. Can you find them all? Write the correct sentences in the comments area.

"Official results were being released Monday for the legislative election, which followed a week of demonstrations and hunger strikes at Hong Kong's government offices, culminating in tens of thousands of protesters Friday night."
The modifier "for the legislative election" seems to modify "official results". But is it dangling, because it is separated from "official results" by "were being released Monday"?
Hi everyone,
I'm interested in the usage of prepositions in English. It is one of the most difficult ones, and one can say that if you comprehend the usage, you'll become a native speaker)))
So, I'm interested if the right preposition is used:
I bought the ticket at a reduced price.
Thanks in advance.

Should is a modal verb that has more than one meaning. The obvious meaning is that we use to give advice (eg. You should quit smoking), but it could also mean that you expect something to happen in the future
eg. John called and told me he's on his way. He should be here soon.
The past tense of should is should have + past participle.
