李 can also be "Lee" right? It's my last name and it says it is incorrect.
Yes but Lee sounds right in English but in Chinese, there is something called pinying and in pinying Lee is closer to the word 了 then 李
I kept trying to input "Lee" and it wouldmark my answer as wrong because of it. "Lee" is acceptable in many of the other lower level exercises, it should be fixed.
As Aliona said 'in hospital' should be correct as well as 'in the hospital'. Its British English, and is what they teach in at least some of Europe meaning it is natural to a lot of people.
wouldn't "in hospital" (and even "in the hospital" usually) imply that the person is there as a patient, and not just simply present there? whereas I'm assuming they mean the doctor is there working, not as a patient. in the US at least, saying someone's in the hospital generally implies they're there as a patient, whereas an employee, visitor, etc. is "at the hospital." I think that's why there's some confusion here. this isn't a hard rule of course but typically how those phrases are used contextually
