That's funny! -birdswimming(feifei); 2001-11-9 (#254944@0)
1) Your "long neck deer" is "giraffe". Why "the report recommends he receive" not "he receives". In grammar, the sentence goes like this -cornflakewhite(cornflake); 2001-11-9 {306} (#254954@0)
"The report recommends he should receive", "should" omitted here. It's subjunctive mood "Xu Ni Yu Qi". One example, " He insists his wife (should)sweep the floor". For us, this is grammar, for your LG, that's the way they say it. Absolutely! I didn't figure out the first two. Guess just idioms.

Thanks! Do you think (or anybody can tell me) giraffe belongs to deer category? -dropoutinmiami(东北的饺子); 2001-11-9 (#255068@0)

Thank you give us those idioms, very useful for me. play it by ear-> 随机应变 push the envelope->增强技术系统的运转能力 -longlife(Hahahahaha); 2001-11-9 (#255398@0)
If I cleaned the floor, I would say :"I did the mopping". -mrviceroy(杀人者Daniel是也); 2001-11-9 (#255811@0)

Interesting! I learned a few idioms today. -alan01(alan01); 2001-11-9 (#256136@0)
