Notes on K.Sirikorn's post
Sirikorn,
It is good to have your post here. Please look at the notes about it I have written below.
Summary about "Daydreaming"
The research says daydreaming is a sign of unhappiness, and shown a human mind is a wandering mind, and a wandering mind is an unhappy mind. Mostly American people beings spend a lot of time thinking about what is not going on around them,contemplating events that happened in the past, might happen in the future or will never happen at all.
"Shown" is incorrect, because the summary is in the PRESENT TENSE. "Shows" is correct. "Mostly American people spend a lot of time" is correct, but I think you meant "Most American people." Both are correct.
Otherwise, the summary is all correct.
writing a short conversation
1) A: How long did the flight from Bangkok to New York last ?
B: It last around 20 hours.
The question is correct, but the VERB in the answer has to be PAST TENSE.
2) A: How long does it take by train from your house to school?
B: It take 30 minutes by train from my house to school.
That's correct. "How long does it take to go by train from your house to school" is also correct. It is possible to omit "to go," as you did correctly.
3) A: How long does it take to learn this course(Fall 2012)?
B: It take 3 months.
The grammar is correct, but I think the VERB should be different. "Complete" is better here than "learn."
4) A: How long did you cleaned your bedroom last?
B: It last 2 weeks.
Here the question form is : How long did it take (you) + to verb.
The correction is "How long did it take you to clean your bedroom?"
The correct answer is: "It took (me) 2 weeks."
5) A: How long did the Metro card valid last?
B: It last 1 month.
I think these sentences need PRESENT TENSE because it's about the Metro card every day, not the Metro card last week (for example).
Remember, the form is: How long+ NOUN + last.
"the Metro card valid" is not a NOUN, but you can change it to a noun by changing the adjective VALID to the noun form "VALIDITY."
The correct question is then "How long does the Metro card validity last?" That's correct, but it sounds strange. A simple question may be better: How long is the Metro card valid?"
Remember to put "s" on the end of the VERB in the PRESENT TENSE after "he," "she" or "it." ("It lasts").
