Being single is never a problem to me? or being single was never a problem to me?

February 20, 2016

It depends. If it's still not a problem to you (and most likely never will be), then "is." If it used to not be a problem but is a problem now, then "was."

---

- He is never sick. = He is always healthy.
- He was never sick. = He used to always be healthy, but now he gets sick.

"His serious tone throws me" what does 'throws me" mean in that sentence?

February 20, 2016

Most likely, "throws me" is being used in the same way as "throws me off." To "throw (something) off" can mean "to distract," "to confuse," or "to make lose focus." Your example sentence can be interpreted as "His serious tone shocks me."

We have no idea. According to Google Translate, your question is in Indonesian, a language we do not speak. Sorry.

Why some people can write very well in Eng but they fail when it comes to speak ? Actually what is the best method in improving our speaking ?

February 17, 2016

Probably the biggest reason why writing is "easier" than speaking is that you have more time. You can always revise your writing, which you can't really do when you're talking to someone.

One of the best articles we've found for improving one's speaking skills is this: http://bit.ly/1oQa51f

Follow what it says. Your English-speaking skills will improve tremendously. 👍

February 17, 2016

"Do your tears flow down?" (Or something similar.) However, it sounds weird. "Are you crying?" is much more natural.

Im Indonesian girl and majoring English Education. Any tips for memorizing vocab and the meaning? Accidentally i sometimes forget the meaning of the vocab so i couldnt be able to catch up the idea of the sentence. Thank you in advance and forgive my bad english.

February 17, 2016

First, your English is quite good. 👍 The best way to learn vocabulary is to use it in everyday life. As soon as you learn a new word, make a sentence. For example, if you learned that "mendacious" means "lying, deceitful," you could make a sentence like this: "Pinocchio, a mendacious character, gets into a lot of trouble because of his many lies." Learning vocabulary this way is not only effective, but it also makes you sound smarter because you know how to use difficult words correctly. Your writing will also get better— for the same reason. For words that you have particular trouble remembering (even after making sentences), we recommend making mnemonics (memory aids). Take a look at the mnemonic we made for "curmudgeon."

how to use "inkling" correctly ?

February 17, 2016

An "inkling" is a slight suggestion or vague understanding, so here are some ways to use it:

---

- Nan had no inkling of how hard the exam was going to be.
- When he heard people screaming, Henry had an inkling that the dental procedure was going to be painful.
- Peter doesn't like sports very much, so he has no inkling of how cricket is played.

"I was" or "I were"?

February 17, 2016

99% of the time, "I was." It's the simple past tense. For example, "I was sick yesterday."

---

"I were" is used only in the subjunctive mood. For example, "If I were you, I would read this article": http://bit.ly/1pWL29H

Oil and water ( does / do ) not mix. Explain.

February 17, 2016

"Oil" (one thing) and "water" (another thing) DO not mix. Since "oil" and "water" are two things, we need to use "do." "Does" is for he, she, it, and singular nouns (but not "I" and "you").

What does "think out loud" mean?

February 16, 2016

It means to literally "say your thoughts aloud"; it's similar to talking to yourself. For example, "I wasn't talking to you. I was just thinking out loud."

---

It could also mean "to say something as soon as it comes into your mind, without waiting to consider if it is sensible or useful." For example, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that. I have a bad habit of thinking out loud." 🐵
