    kannst du das bitte noch mal als ganzen satz schreiben, ich verstehe das jetzt nicht gany was du mit sth und sb immer meinst :D

    was ich hinter die Pfeile geschrieben habe, sind die Ausgangsformen der Verben, wie man sie am besten lernt:
    to prevent sb. from doing sth. = jemanden davon abhalten etwas zu tun
    mind doing sth. = ausmachen etwas zu tun
    looking forward to doing sth. = sich darauf freuen, etwas zu tun

    Okay aber ich weiß jetzt trotzdem nicht ganz wo meine Fehler liegen, dass hat mich etwas irritiert. Da du bei einigen Sätzen einen smiley gesetzt hast :d gilt das als richtig oder falsch.
