what is the meaning of 'the worst is yet to come'?

January 13, 2015

It means that even though things are bad right now, the worst part hasn't happened yet. (It's the opposite of "the best is yet to come.")

When should I use guarantee and guaranty?

January 13, 2015

You should almost always use "guarantee"; "guaranty" is considered a variant spelling.

---

The only exception is when you're using "guaranty" in a legal sense, i.e., "a formal pledge to pay another person's debt."

I shouldn't be waiting on you? Or i shouldn't waiting on you?

January 12, 2015

"I shouldn't BE waiting ON you." (This means "I shouldn't be serving as your waiter/waitress." More awkwardly, it can also mean "I shouldn't be on top of you as I wait." But no one would interpret it that way.)

---

"I shouldn't BE waiting FOR you." (This means "I shouldn't be waiting until you do or say something.")

---

"I shouldn't BE waiting WITH you." (This means "I shouldn't be accompanying you as I wait.")

Hello! Can you suggest me any books which are easy to read for a beginner? And is my question correct?

January 12, 2015

Take out "me" from your question, and it would be correct.

---

Taking a wild guess at your age, we recommend the following:

---

- "The Giver" by Lois Lowry
- "The Fault in Our Stars" by John Green
- "Divergent" by Veronica Roth
- "The Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky
- "The Lightning Thief" by Rick Riordan

---

The above are extremely popular books, so you might have read them already. (If you haven't, read them; don't watch their movie versions.)

---

Reading > watching movies. Every. Single. Time.

How to use indeed?

January 12, 2015

Use the word indeed to add emphasis to a statement. It's also another way to say: "That's right."

---

- Jo is a good friend indeed.
- I passed the test, and indeed, I got a perfect score!
- I am indeed drunk: I can't remember my phone number.

what are differences between "someone" "anyone" "everyone" and which is the singular and plural? and if i put space between those, e.g: every one, some one, will it has the same meaning?

January 10, 2015

Here you go: http://bit.ly/1I5Wt8w (They are all singular.)

You should use them as one word, except for "no one" (it should always be two words).
