Hi everone!
Could you please give me the shortest and simplest similar meanings to the following that are taken from the story "The Canary" by Katherine Mansfield:
1.Dreadfully untrue! ( dreadfully: does it mean very badly, extremely or what?)
2. "Regular "in: you are a regular little actor.(in the sense of scolding the bird) Does it mean usual or pro or with no exra features or a real or what?
3."tucked" in : I...... tucked a piece of chickweed. (Please i need the shortest meaning or synonym)
4. Verandah( i think it means porch not balcony)
* Grammer questions:
1. can I say: The story ends sadly when the canary dies or died/ or sadly with death of the canary or with the canary's death
2.a.The nail brought back the sweet memories of the bird to Missus.
b.The nail brought her back the sweet memories of the bird.
3. When i want to write a short of the author's life and achievements in 10 or 20 lines, would be a suitabke title to write" Katherine Mansfield's biography " or " Katherine Mansfield' life" ?
Which one is correct? How can i shorten the sentence?
Thanks in advance
