Your teacher is making jokes with you.




  • His glory can never fade does not have a past tense transform.

    It begins with can, which is a modal auxiliary, and is therefore not inflected for tense.


  • They had someone to help them does not have a passive transform.

    It uses have in the sense of 'possess', which does not allow the passive construction.

            Origin of the phrase “under your belt”?

Question : What is the origin of the phrase "under your belt"? A google search revealed some webpages (e.g. [1]) that assert its origin is related to consumption of food -- once a meal has been eaten, it's under your belt (which is a relief).
