why is tha Spring so late in coming which gerunds
Answers
Explanation:
Then the Spring came, and all over the country there were little blossoms and little birds. Only in the garden of the Selfish Giant it was still Winter. ...
'I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming,' said the Selfish Giant, as he sat at the window and looked out at his cold white garden; 'I hope there will be a change in the weather.' (The Selfish Giant, by Oscar Wilde)
My textbook changed ‘I cannot understand why the Spring is so late in coming’ to ‘I don’t understand why spring is so late coming to my garden this year’. I don’t think it’s a good adaption and maybe it’s a wrong sentence. What do you think?
My textbook is an English textbook for junior high school students in China, co-published by DC Canada Education Publishing and Hebei Education Press.
