I think it is fine to be ruled by a king and a queen. But if it is harsh, it should not be allowed.
1. My grandparents looked at it then smiled.
-> What does ‘then’ mean? Does ‘then’ also do connecting role like \'and\' in this sentence?
2. What does ‘spoil’ mean?
3. p39 - The grandmother is looking after her grandchildren?
-> Don\'t I have to add ‘s’ behind ‘grandchild’?
4. Have you = have not
-> If I want to do a positive answer, do I have to write \'have\' instead of \'have not\'?
5. Have you written a letter yet?
-> Can \'yet\' be used in this sentence? Shouldn\'t we change it to \'have you not\' in order to use \'yet\'?
