the difference between people and persons

November 21, 2015

Both "people" and "persons" are the correct plural forms of "person." However, "people" is much more popular than "peoples." Nowadays, "persons" is often found only in legal documents or in police reports, e.g., a missing persons report.

"twice as many red cars were sold as yellow cars" 'twice as many,' we take it as an adjective or an adverb?

November 20, 2015

Adjectives answer these questions:

---

- Which?
- What kind of?
- How many?

---

Therefore, "twice as many" is an adjective phrase because it answers "How many?" (Also, "many" by itself is also an adjective, so "twice as many" is the same.)

what is difference between stomach, belly, and tummy? thanks

November 20, 2015

They all mean roughly the same thing. "Stomach" is the standard, formal version. "Belly" and "tummy" are less formal words (often used by and for children):

---

Mom: Does your belly hurt?
Child: Yes, Mommy. My tummy has a boo-boo. 👶

---

Of course, there are also things like "belly button," "pork belly" (a cut of pork meat), and "tummy tuck," which are special words.

brooch from fabric or brooch fabric ? 😅

November 20, 2015

"Brooch fabric" = fabric that is used only to make brooches, e.g., I bought five yards of brooch fabric at the store.

---

"Brooch made of fabric" = literally a brooch made of fabric, e.g., My mother owns a brooch made of fabric.

---

More likely, the second one is what you're going for. 👌

Is it "a owl" or "an owl"?

TrollingLikeKoen

November 20, 2015

It's "AN owl." For words that begin with "o," we use "a" ONLY if it makes a "won" sound, e.g., "one" words:

---

- A ONE-ARMED man.
- A ONE-TIME fee.
- A ONE-ON-ONE battle.

---

Otherwise, we use "an":

---

- An orange. 🍊
- An octopus. 🐙
- An ostrich.
- An obscure writer.

November 20, 2015

They're both OK. "Firstly" is more formal, but it also sounds weird. We would just go with "first," "second," third," etc. Imagine what would happen if you wrote "seventhly," "eighthly," "ninthly," etc. They look and sound so bad. 🙈🙉
