Hi ppl:),
grammar isn´t my greatest strength.....and I would be really grateful if you could help me to find those stupid little mistakes in the following sentences...
Here they go
1. I hardly ever watch anything on the first or second programme. I prefer to watch the private channels.
2. Digital TV makes use of relatively new techniques which engineers originally developled for the military.
3. Peole can complain by the Ethics Commission if they believe they have been treated unfair by the media.
(OK, here I think it´s "complain at..."???)
4. A lot of ppl buy a product simply because they have seen it in a spot on TV.
Thanx for ur help!:)

Hi!
I started to analyse your sentences, but I cannot guarantee that I have found all the mistakes. Therefore look at them again.
1. I hardly ever watch something on the first or second programme. I prefer watching the private channels.
2. Digital TV makes use of relative new techniques which engineers originally developled for the military.
3. Peole can complain about the Ethics Commission if they believe they have been treated unfair ly by the media.
(OK, here I think it´s "complain at..."???)
4. A lot of ppl buy a product simply because they have seen it in a spot on TV.
I hope it's right

First of all: thank you a lot!
The sentence : A lot of people complain by the Ethics Commission ......
is still a prolblem to me, cos ur proposed sentence: .....complain about....
would mean: sich über die Kommission beschweren. Es ist doch aber eigentlich gemeint: sich bei der Kommission über die Medien beschweren.....
that´s y I am still unsure how to change it .....

YEs, concerning to the context of the sentence you're right. It has to be "complain at".
