Question

1. The man is drawing cartoons on a drawing board. He has a pen on his right ear. What do you think he is doing? (Would you check this writing?)

2. The dogs are playing with balls.
3. Each dog is playing with a ball.
4. The dogs are playing with a ball.
(Are the three sentences the same in meaning?)

Answer 1

1. OK

2, 3, and 4 are similar but not identical.

In 2, there are two or more dogs and two more balls.

In 3, there are several dogs, and each one is playing with a ball of its own.

In 4, all the dogs are playing, and there's only one ball.
