Eminem has the following lines in a song: "We ain't nothing but mammals.." Well, some of us cannibals" Is it ok to omit "are" that way? Did he omit it in the second line because it had already been in the first? And is it okay to use such constructions in everyday English? Thank you!
Yes. It would have been clearer if he had used "are" instead of "ain't." (Since he already used "are," the second "are" would be implied/repetitive.)
Here is another example: "I went to school yesterday, and John went (to school), too." In that example, "to school" can be omitted because it is clearly implied.

What's the meaning of 'grand' in term of currency unit? What's the different with 'k' like in 25k
"Grand" is slang for 1,000 dollars or pounds. There is no difference in meaning between "grand" and "K." In terms of usage, some people will say "He makes $250K a year," while others will say "He makes 250-grand a year." It's a matter of preference.

What's the difference between you are so sweet and that's very sweet of you?
They mean similar things, but "You are so sweet" emphasizes the person (you). "That's very sweet of you" emphasizes the action you did.
Nan: I heard that you spent all day with my nephews yesterday so my sister could get some rest.
Henry: Yeah, I did. It was no big deal.
Nan: That was very sweet of you.

I got this from a test about simple present tense. How can is this be simple present? Cause those are using "now". Btw, which one is right "He wants breakfast now", "He plays tennis now" or "He walks home now". And why? Thank you~
"Now" means "at the present time or moment," but it can also mean "under the present circumstances." From those three choices, all three can use the simple present.
- He wants breakfast now. = He wants to eat breakfast now.
- He plays tennis now. = He played something else before, but he plays tennis now.
- He walks home now. = He went home a different way before (drove a car, rode on a bus, etc.), but he walks home now.
- He wants breakfast now. = He wants to eat breakfast now.
- He plays tennis now. = He played something else before, but he plays tennis now.
- He walks home now. = He went home a different way before (drove a car, rode on a bus, etc.), but he walks home now.

What can we use in replace of "a lot" and "lots"
MANY, MUCH, NUMEROUS, COUNTLESS, MULTITUDINOUS, AN ABUNDANCE OF, etc.
"i wasnt slept" or "i wasnt sleep" ??
They're both incorrect. Either "I wasn't sleeping" or "I wasn't asleep" would work. 😴
Hi Team, 'a lot of' or 'lots of', which one is correct? Thanks in advance.
They're both OK. (But they're also considered informal, so avoid using both of them in essays.)
- I have A LOT OF friends = I have LOTS of friends.
- I have A LOT OF friends = I have LOTS of friends.
what does "trial by fire" mean?
A "trial by fire" is a challenging test of one's courage, strength, or resolve. For example, if a rookie goalkeeper who had never played a game all season was inserted into the Champions League Final because the starting keeper became injured, it would be a "trial by fire" for the rookie goalkeeper.
What is the opposite word of luxury?
AUSTERITY, FRUGALITY, ECONOMY.
which one is correct "why did they send me this package?" or "why they sent me this package?"
"Why did they send me this package?" is right. After DID and DIDN'T, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb.

"My parcel had arrived" is this sentence correct?
It could be correct, but you should add more details: "By the time I got home, my parcel had arrived." Otherwise, just go with "My parcel arrived" or "My parcel has arrived." 📦

Behaviour or behavior?
"Behaviour" is UK spelling 🇬🇧; "behavior" is American spelling 🇺🇸. They're the same words. Similarly, "flavour" = "flavor"; "favourite" = "favorite"; "colour" = "color."

is "youre too young to have so much strings broken" correct?
"Strings" is a countable noun, so it should be "You're too young to have so MANY strings broken." (We use "many" for countable nouns; we use "much" for uncountable nouns.)
You never failed to make me happy or you never fail to make me happy?
"You never fail to make me happy" = you always make me happy; you still have not failed.
"You never failed to make me happy" = in the PAST, you never failed; you have failed since then.
"You never failed to make me happy" = in the PAST, you never failed; you have failed since then.

Hmm ... we have no idea what you're trying to say. Did you mean something like "She married him when he was just 20 years old at the youngest"?
