After learning the functionalities of the Polyvision Interactive Board from the trainings, how enthusiastic are you in integrating it in your class sessions? (Poll Closed)

I will use the Interactive board IF IT IS NECESSARY.

I will use the Interactive board only during special PRESENTATIONS.

I am not interested IN USING the Interactive board.

PLEASE have someone check your spelling and grammar before posting your mistakes for the world to see. :)

Regarding your comment, kindly specify or identify the mistake in the grammar that was made. As per our knowledge, we have constructed the sentences different from the way you want it.

IF IT IS NECESSARY vs depending on the necessity

- this refers to the same idea.

PRESENTATIONS vs presentation

- it does not matter whether we are talking the plurality or singularity of the object. Anyway, you can only conduct one presentation at a time.

I am not interested in USING vs. I am not interested to USE

- this connotes the same meaning. It depends on your choice of words. We opt to choose the phrase TO USE (future tense) rather than USING (active).

1) The second clause of the sentence in question, "depending on the necessity," has a causal relationship with the first clause (Why would you use the Interactive board? Because of necessity). In order to indicate this relationship, the connector "if" needs to be used.

Your second clause is incorrect, because the subject and/or verb of the clause are unclear; is "depending" functioning as the subject or the verb of the secondary clause? Also, even if it functions as either, the other part of the sentence is then missing; if it is a gerund functioning as a noun, and therefore, the subject, the verb in the secondary clause is missing; if it is being used as a verb, both the subject and the necessary auxiliary verb ("be") in the secondary clause are missing.

Finally, the adjective form of necessity (necessary) should be used here, as you are describing using the Interactive whiteboard - an adjective is needed to describe the use of the whiteboard, not a noun (see #3 below).

Re-examining the question, an even simpler solution would be to eliminate the uncertainty altogether, and write the question thusly:

I will use the Interactive whiteboard as necessary.

Your argument, "this refers to the same idea," is irrelevant; the original grammar is incorrect, so what it is referring to does not matter. What matters is the incorrect grammar usage, not what it refers to.

2) If you say "special presentation," you need to have the article "a" before it. (A special presentation), as the word presentation is being used singularly - ONE presentation. Since the "a" was not present, it was assumed that there would be more than one presentation; therefore, the form should have been pluralized (presentations).

It DOES "matter whether we are talking about the plurality or singularity of the object" - one is correct, the other is not.

3)First, "TO USE" is not future tense. It is the INFINITIVE form of the verb. Second, in this case "using" is not being used as a verb (see below), so the state of its voice (active or passive) is irrelevant.

"Interest", in any form, normally takes the preposition "in", NOT "to", when describing objects of interest: for example, "I am interested in sports," or "I have some interest in that company." The second part of your sentence requires a noun, or something that functions as a a noun, to properly act as the object of the preposition "in". The object of interest, in this case, is using/the use of the Interactive board. "Using", in this context, is not a verb; it is the gerund form of the verb being used as a noun. Therefore, either "in using" or "in the use of" (with "use" being used in its noun form) would have been correct usage.

Again, your argument that "this connotes the same meaning" is irrelevant; the original grammar is incorrect, so what it connotes does not matter. What matters is the incorrect grammar usage, not what it connotes. Your choice of words does matter, of course, but you need to use correct grammar, regardless of your choice of words.
