Excel
1. The player's mom made the player excel.
(The player's mom took good care of the player in various ways. So, the player's performance is better than before. )
2. The player excelled from December.
(The player's performance tend to go ups and downs. He played badly until November and he started playing well from December. )
3. The player started excelling in his field.
(He became the best player in the field. Anyone can't hold a candle to him.)
Would you mind checking out if the word "excel" is used in the 3 sentences correctly?
Thank you in advance!
The word is not used appropriately in [1] and [2] .
[1] could be 'The player's mom helped him excel' or . .'achieve his excellent performance.'
[2] could be 'The player has excelled from December' if his performance is still good, or 'He excelled in December' if he then played badly again.
[3] is correct but better written as 'The player started to excel in his field.'
'Anyone can't hold a candle to him.' should be 'no-one can hold a candle to him.'
