Hi First,
ReplyDeleteI like your example of "discontinue". "Discontinue" is the verb of "discontinuance". Your example uses "be verb" + Ving. It means the bank is doing the discontinuance of the service. I would like you to think about these examples: 1. The bank discontinues its Saturday service.
2. The bank discontinued its Saturday service.
What do the two example mean?
What are the differences in meaning between the two examples and the example you give?
Good job!
Another thing is please change the language setting into English, or it's hard for me to leave a comment. : )
ReplyDeletethat's good an example for the incubator, you have a picture for let me know easier what is it^^.
