Teacher: Giving him a passing grade will save some embarrassment on my part.
Teacher: Giving him a passing grade will save some embarrassment on his part. Are the use of 'on...part" correct? If correct, what is the difference in meaning between the two sentences. Many thanks. |

What does 'save some embarrassment' mean? Does it mean that the teacher will be less embarrassed? Thanks. This message has been edited. Last edited by: tanguatlay, |
