Many thanks again. A question on No.13. Is the sentence constructed in a "It...that..." form? I am afraid it is YES. Would you please instruct me in a few words?

13. It was an unforgettable moment for all the citizens this year, that in after 20 years China’s women’s volleyball team won the Olympic gold medal again.

The preposition "in" is incorrect.
1) The team had not won the medal in 20 years. After 20 years they won the medal again.
2) It was...an unforgettable moment....that...the...team won...the...medal.
I think when would sound better.
It was an unforgettable moment when the team won the medal.

"With Rusty's instruction, I mean understand now where the wrong point was. Thanks."

Hi DoWell: Do you have a problem with the difference between these verbs?

Mr. Rusty, you are quite careful but I am careless. Thank you. I have a lot of English grammatical questions out of my Engish teaching to present you later, I am afraid.

One of my students asked me a question whether the two following sentences are identical in the meaning:

1. You stupidly answered his questions.

2. You answered his questions stupidly.

I consider 1 as 'You are stupid to answer his questions.', and 2 as 'You answered his questions in a stupid way'. But, I am not sure.

Will you please give me your judgement?
