my point of view is "It is totally right" and "it is all right" are giving two different meaning so both are correct, isn't it?? Or its wrong to use totally right?? I dont think so. Please clear it.


@spectramind07 need your help here :)

I won't say it's wrong to use TOTALLY RIGHT, but ' Totally ' used as an adverb is rare. May be that is the reason why 'It is all right ' has been considered the correct usage.

sorry , I could not go better than this..

Okay people...here are the correct ones :

1. I always like to examine closely every proposal.
2. I wish I were as tall as my father.
3. He is working hard with a view to winning this match. (the Verb that follows the Phrase 'with a view to' or 'look forward to' is always to be in the ' +ing ' form.)
4. He prides himself on his wealth. (Reflexive Pronoun, as the Verb PRIDE is a reflexive Verb.)
5. You, he and I are neighbours. (Singular pronouns, so in this order.)

first one seems correct because the second one seems to imply that the teacher stole the money

@kunalmega said: having stolen the money,the student'ss pockets were searched by class teacher.
or
having stolen the money,the class teacher searched the student's pocket.
which one is correct?
plz explain t?
@EnigmaticT said: first one seems correct because the second one seems to imply that the teacher stole the money
Yeah...agreed with EnigmaticT.....the second sentence gives an expression as if the teacher himself stole the money 😛 and then searched the student's pockets :P
