Leonel,
Just a follow-up about causatives: this matching exercise combines
what one knows, what one can guess, and leaves you with the residue to
wonder about. *But* all of the answers are at the bottom, so you are left
with no pain. Of course, you would spoil the fun for yourself if you
peeked at the answers too early.
I'm off today for a 3-4 day visit in Illinois and unfortunately I don't
have access to e-mail there.
Timottazqueh,
Joe
