my parents is awesome or my parent is awesome. parents belong to singular or plural.

August 26, 2015

"Parent" is singular. "Parents" is plural. Therefore, "My parents ARE awesome" and "My parent IS awesome" would be right. (But when only one parent is involved, we usually say "My dad is awesome" or "My mom is awesome.") ✌️

a lot of loves / lots of love??

August 26, 2015

"A lot of loves" = a lot of things/people that you love, e.g., I have a lot of loves, including pizza, anime, and music.

"Lots of love" = informal way of ending a letter/email (e.g., Lots of love, Mom) OR an informal way of saying that someone/something receives plenty of love and affection, e.g., Chewie receives lots of love from everyone in the neighborhood.

Here you go. (Just remember that "ain't" is informal/slang. Never use it in your essays for school or in formal communication.)

everyone 'is' or everyone 'are'? how about everybody? each 'group' or each 'groups'? and why? thank you.

August 24, 2015

"Everyone" is singular, so "Everyone IS" is right. ("Everybody" = "everyone.")

After "each," always use a singular noun: each dog, each child, each group, each city, each team, etc. ✌️

Hi, can you explain what is the meaning of this sentence " The friends I'd had weakened into acquaintances." THANKS x

August 24, 2015

It means that those friends are now just acquaintances. (A friend is someone who is close to you; an acquaintance is just someone you know.)

I am sorry if you ever answered such questions, but what are the differences between home and house, also anyone and anybody? When do we use home or house and anyone or anybody? Thank you!

August 24, 2015

A "house" is the building where someone lives. (It's different from an apartment because a house is a detached structure.) For example, "Jo's house has three bedrooms and a big yard."

A "home" is the place where someone lives. It can be a house, but it can also be an apartment, a condo, a houseboat, etc.: "I can't wait to go home to my apartment in New York."

"Home" can also be used to mean "family": "My cousin's roommate grew up in a broken home."

Regarding "anyone" and "anybody," they mean the same thing. "Anyone" is considered slightly more formal than "anybody"; "anyone" is used more in writing than "anybody." ✌️

i had been walking down the street when it began to rain or i would walk diwn the street when it began to rain or i have walked down the street when it began to rain why and what the tenses ?

August 24, 2015

"I had been walking down the street when it began to rain" is right. That sentence means that you were already walking down the street (1st past tense action) when it started to rain (2nd past tense action). Both actions happened in the past, and the one with "had" + past participle is the one that happened first.

For more on the past perfect tense, read this article: http://bit.ly/1nlbdFt ✌️

hi pls help me. I have speaking test this Tuesday. I can't speak English well. I don't know how to speak based on topic given (I only know how to speak freely without given any topic to discuss about). pls help me 😭😭

August 24, 2015

Was the topic already given, or will it be given on the day of the exam? If it has already been given, do some research and become knowledgeable enough about that topic so that you can have confidence. If it hasn't been given, calmly think about everything you know about the topic, and speak as clearly and as confidently as you can. Good luck! 🙏

what is the difference between favourite and favorite?

August 24, 2015

They are the same word. "Favourite" is the spelling in British English; "favorite" is the spelling in American English.

"Gray (US) is my favorite (US) color (US)." = "Grey (UK) is my favourite (UK) colour (UK)." ✌️

too serious or too seriously?

August 24, 2015

It depends on what you're talking about. "Serious" is an adjective; "seriously" is an adverb:

- Fortunately, your injury isn't TOO SERIOUS; you'll be fine in a few days.
- I don't take Facebook TOO SERIOUSLY.

actually, what is the function of "rather" in this sentence ? " rather, they are codes to a specific property, such as the x-ray emissions from stars."

August 24, 2015

The "rather" tells the reader that you're going to express an idea that is different from or opposite to a previous statement. For example,

- Students are not getting dumber. Rather, the ways to measure students' intelligence have become unreliable.

Hi! How to use the word "tho". Is it the same as "though"? Is "tho" always written in the end of the sentence

August 20, 2015

"Tho" is just an informal abbreviation of "though." Do not use it in formal essays.

In slang usage, "tho" is put at the end of the sentences, e.g., Her hair tho. That smile tho.

sorry i repeat my question "the student would be EXPELLED from the school if he were proven to use narcotics or the student would be EXPELLING from the school if he were proven to use narcotics" and why ?? . i think it is Past Future Continuous Tense ? please help me 😂😂

August 20, 2015

The student is not the one doing the expelling. The act of being EXPELLED is done to him by the school administrators. Think of it like this: "The criminal will be PUNISHED for his crimes" versus "The criminal will be PUNISHING for his crimes." Just as the criminal will be PUNISHED, the student will be EXPELLED.

hi! could you explain me how to use "herewith" and "hereby" in a formal email?

August 20, 2015

"Herewith" = by means of this. It's an extremely formal word that very few people use anymore. (See picture for example sentences.)

"Hereby" = by means of this. It's also formal, but people actually use it. The most common example is when the pastor at a wedding says, "I hereby declare you man and wife."

Here are some other examples of "hereby":

- We hereby designate you as the new leader of our department.
- This diploma hereby declares that you are a proud graduate of our school.

Difference between payed and paid?

August 20, 2015

Unless you're a sailor or work on boats, you'll never use "payed." "Payed" means "sealed the deck of a wooden ship with pitch or tar to prevent leakage."

"Paid" is the past tense of "pay" when you're talking about giving money or some other form of payment, e.g., "I paid $5 for a cup of coffee this morning." ☕️
