TEST
---
Make sure you understand the corrections I made to your writing from last week.

*the most faster -> the fastest

one person / many people
three persons (okay, sometimes, in formal or legal contexts)

*differents companies -> different companies
*others companies -> other companies
ADJECTIVES DO NOT HAVE PLURAL FORMS IN ENGLISH

*They all are made with expertise. -> They are all made with expertise. / All of them are made with…
“all” goes before nouns (all people, all of us, all of my friends) or it goes after the first auxiliary verb:
We have all finished the test. They had all been studying very hard.
You are all going to have been working on this for a week.

I hope to purchase this. = I hope (that) I purchase this.
I hope (that) you purchase this.
