<P>Actually, almost all the countries , which participate(d) in the war, were disastrous in developing (their) (economies) economy.
t(T)here are always a lot of innocent people dead in war.(There are always many innnocent people who die in wars.) </P>

<P>Let me give you my two cents worth:</P>
<P>"A lot of" is nomarlly used in 'Informal writing'. </P>
<P>Dead is an adjective. It should therefore be used in front of a "noun". </P>
<P>For exampe, we say that there are "many dead people"; not "people dead".  "People dead" sounds like Singlish to me.  (I used to say that when i am young) </P>
<P>Anyone who wants to improve their grammar can contact me. I am currently giving tuition. </P>
<P>Cheers!</P>

okaylah

<P><FONT size=3>'Let me <b>give</b> you my two cents worth' - if what you mean is to give your opinion even if you have not been asked, the correct phrase is '<b>get</b> or <b>put</b> your two cents' worth in' not ' <b>give'</b>.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=3>(I used to say that when i <b>am</b> young) should read 'I used to say that when I <b>was</b> young' (低级错误).</FONT></P>
