Singular or plural?
I have heard many times Englishmen saying,for example, "England were extremely good today" when they talk about a football team. Is it correct? If it is, why do you use the verb "to be" in plural? Do you refer England in this case as a group of many people or what? Are there other similar cases? Thank you for an explanation.

Re:English Sentences
Hi,
Obviously (the spelling is incorrect in your message) means clearly, as in distinctly.
For ex - The teacher saw that the answer was obviously wrong.
Anxious means nervous.
He was very anxious before meeting his in-laws.
Dreadful means causing fear, something terrible.
The dreadful storm destroyed the whole village.
Hope this helps.

Re:what to say to
Hi Marion. I'm English and I don't speak any German, but hopefully you will find this useful. You're welcome is used in all English speaking areas and it always makes sense as a reply to 'thank you'. It's correct! There aren't really any alternatives, but if you do something for someone you could say 'don't worry about it' or 'it was nothing' in reply to them saying thank you. It would mean that it wasn't any trouble for you to do. I would probably advise you to just say you're welcome as its much more simple!
