Question:
In the video You're Hired - Episode 1 on this website, Philip Hart said, "You failed to meet agreed targets for the entire last quarter. We talked about this at your last performance review and I told you then it had to improve and to be quite honest – it hasn’t." Why didn't he say, "it had to be improved"?
From vegemite
My Answer:
The sentence is active “Your performance review has to improve” are his actual words so they are reported as “I told you then it had to improve”. It refers to your performance. It is fine as an active sentence. As a passive it doesn’t make much sense. “Your performance has to be improved”. Who will it be improved by? There is no other third person. Is isn’t going to be improved by 10% or something like that. So it is a simple direct order. “It (your performance review) has to improve”. Put into indirect speech “I told you then it had to improve.”
Question:
Dear Johnny,
In a grammar book,while mentioning about “plenty of and a lot of”, in the example sentence”A lot of staff at the hospital have come down with a mysterious illness”, ” ’plenty of’ is not used instead of ‘a lot of’ “ is written. I can’t clearly distinguish between their meanings.Can you explain when we can use former instead of latter and when it is impossible? Thanks in advance.

My Answer:
Plenty of and a lot of are similar in most cases.
There are plenty of bananas on the table
There are lots of bananas on the table
Plenty of suggests “enough and more”, an abundance. There’s plenty of time. It suggests we don’t need to worry there is more than enough of whatever the noun is.
In the case of people becoming mysteriously ill it is not an agreeable event. “Lots of people” is more neutral. If we said: “Plenty of staff at the hospital…” Its tone would sound wrong; it is as if we were joyful about this occurrence!
