Question about English (US)
Does this sound natural?
- The reading is about buffering, a technique used by weaker animals when they use an infant to interact with stronger animals. It helps them approach dominant animals without having a fight. In the lecture, the professor takes a species of monkey, for example, to explain this concept.
Thank you!✨✨

@uggupuggu Appreciate your help and explanation!☺️☺️👍🏻
I will go with the present tense.😊😊 (That's part of a response to a speaking question in TOEFL test. I was writing my speech down. In the test, first I read a reading, and then I listen a 1 minute lecture, and then I summerize both the reading and listening.)
May I ask the reason you changed "takes a species of monkey FOR example" to "take a species of monkey AS AN example"? Is it because the former is unnatural?😳😳😳

@VictoriaY When we say for example, we literally say an example after it. So in this case if you wanted to use For example, you would have to say “For example, a species of monkey.”
