Reading and speaking a language don't enable you to guarantee that misunderstanding will not take placeHi, Trisia.
So is it correct?
Reading and speaking a language don't enable you to guarantee that misunderstanding will not take place.
Trisia.The ability to read and speak a language doesn't enable you to guarantee that no misunderstandings will occur/take place... It's correct, I think, but you changed the meaning a bit, "enable" no longer refers to the capacity of reading&writing, it now refers to the possibility of saying that no misunderstandings will happen. Was that what you meant in the first place?
Thank you, mjscott, for pointing it out.Reading and speaking a language don't enable you to guarantee that misunderstanding will not take place
Usually two negatives make a positive. If reading and speaking a language don't enable you to guarantee that misunderstanding will not take place, then reading and speaking a language does enable you to guarantee that misunderstanding will take place. (I think in this case it doesn't hold true....)
