When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Discussion
Please note that except in cases of abuse, ProZ.com policy is that before an answer can be ungraded, both the asker and the answerer who originally received the points must agree to ungrade that answer. If you can obtain approval from the asker and the answerer (by asking them to submit a support request specifying the KudoZ question to be un-graded and stating s/he agrees with this action), the KudoZ question may be ungraded. And only then the asker can select the most helpful answer.
So, Sami for the integrity of the system do you agree to relinquish the points and send a support request to that effect?
I remember vividly that the asker posted a previous comment saying that he will be using my answer. I pose the question too to the asker Niazzzak, do you agree with my request?
I really do dispute this result and will have to take it up with the people running the show here!!

Unfortunately, the article does not go into detail about the structure itself, but the examples themselves come from a reliable source (Steven Pinker).
and the students said no teacher this is wrong and i was embarrased then complied with them and accept thier answer which is ( is keesha brother's name daniel? but later i changed my mind cause if i used this one as my dear lilian used there should be a noun works as an adjective like school boy but for this case keesha and brother are only names forethere i thought the right answer which said by amal you my dear supported my answer really before your help i was scrupulous i was not sure of my answer but know am really sure for other members who used a correct but different structures thank you so much but i have a book which entails me to use this only structure for this lesson .
