Believe me, by that lack of sentence structure either:\nA) You have so much energy you are not writing right\n or \nB) You haven't gone to school.\n\nYou don't need more energy.

Would suggests the occurrence for needing the laptop has not happened yet. What ever the project being discussed is, it is still in the planning stages. Will indicates a decision being made.\n\nBTW: poor grammar. HOWEVER should not be used to start a sentence, and is unnecessary in the above statement. Better written could be "I would always use my laptop, however; because it is more flexible and provides better functionality."

It's "It has everything except cylinders."  You don't want the comma.\nCall it the V-Zero (a play on V-6, V-8, V-10).\n\n"The V-Zero has everything except cylinders."

The only way ı can find any logic in this sentence is if the comma before 'for example' is changed to a semi-colon. Then it's two different sentences and, even if I don't like it, I can parse it.\n\nSo, if that's the case, then it's 'situation', not 'patterns'. Patterns are an aspect of a leaf's form and physiology. You can reword this sentence like this: Leaves develop in different situations; according to these situations, the form and physiology vary.\n\nThis is logical when you look at the example, because 'different degrees of light' are different situations (as someone else said, 'environment' would be more suitable), and the example says that 'different degrees of light' affect how the leaf adapts (preumably altering its shape).\n\nHope this helps. Swat your teacher upside the head for giving you such an ill-formed question!

The first part is a bit difficult to translate, as it is not really clear Dutch, but there we go (I think the second sentence is an enumeration):\n\nI don´t know about what I can talk. Well, the series, connections with Webster´s family, what that family does or what kind of projects they have, his episode in CSI: Miami, episode 24.\n\nHe didn´t send much.\n\nI would like to call, you know, but it is quite exciting, isn´t it, and if I call, it would have to be at night, because of the time differences and so on, but then still.\n\nI hope this helps, it´s the best I can do. I'm sure it means something to you :-)

d) change irritated to irritating\n\nit's the person that's feeling irritated at the parents' irritating behavior.  if it's "once so irritated", then it would be saying that the parents' behavior was irritated >< and behavior can't be irritated.\n\na) is not right because the subject is "maturity", singular noun, only use "come" if it's talking about two/more things. \n\ne.g. They come to the store every Sunday.  vs. He comes to the store every Sunday.\n\nb) is not right because you have to say what comes with realization, and if you put realizing, that doesn't make sense, it has to be a noun.  \n\nc), talking about the behavior of the parents, if parents' shows that it's behavior of the parents, so that's all good.\n\nhope this helped :)

Here are the errors:\n\nNeither refers to two things: neither "x" nor "y", you have used it for three.\n\n"that" is unnecessary.\n\nIt would be best written as:\n\nThe lessons, the paper, the subject; none remind me of you.

The 2nd sentence is correct and very formal; there is something like an old subjunctive form hidden in it.\nThe 1st sentence is (informally) not incorrect and could be found in British English.
