It would be cool if this thread was for little writing/grammar problems in our essays.

Is the expression

in new light

or in a new light?

ex 1. He saw the teacher in new light.
ex 2. He saw the teacher in a new light.

Thanks.

<p>I think it's ex 2...I could very well be mistakened</p>

<h1>2 for sure.</h1>

4

<p>definitely #2</p>

5

<p>thx hehe</p>

<p>I was wondering since light, like water, is not quantitative.</p>

6

<p>If you mean he regarded his teacher in a new way, then it's #2.</p>

<p>If you mean the teacher was actually illuminated by a new source of light, then #1 would work just fine.</p>

7

<p>I was not scared (nor vs or) lost as much as I was curious.</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

8

<p>replace not with "neither" and use nor...I could very well be mistakened</p>

<p>i agree with ecnerwalc... I don't think he is mistakened</p>
