Fragen über die Beispielsätze mit, und die Definition und Benutzung von "Corporal"

A: As an adjective, it means, "bodily" or "physical"... almost never seen except in "corporal punishment" (that is, punishment done to the body for an offence).

As a noun, it means "an officer in the army with direct command over other soldiers."

A: By definition, corporal refers to the body.

A: We use the word physical to mean something involving touch or movement of the body.

Corporal can also mean the same thing but we very rarely use it in everyday conversation with others. Thai word would only be used in academic situations or literature.

The only time we use corporal instead of physical is when referring to “Corporal punishment” which means to physically discipline.

A: "Being a corporal while serving in the military taught me how to face pressure and take responsibility." I think the "it taught me" causes pronoun-antecedent agreement confusion. The "being a corporal" is essentially your subject which agrees with your verb "taught" so you don't really need the word "it" in front of taught. However, I would recommend getting a second opinion.

A: @jennyyyyyy: I don't think it should be allowed. Teachers could become very abusive and could seriously injure students.
