Still on the "You and I / You and me" thing 😁. "You and me are through" is wrong and it should have been "You and I are through" instead, right? Thank you.

July 23, 2015

Correct: It should be "You and I are through." 👍

Think of it like this: "We are through" is right, not "Us are through." ("We" is a subject pronoun—like "I." "Us" is an object pronoun—like "me.")

What are some of the way to correct the error in the introduction of this article? Thanks xx https://medium.com/i-love-charts/let-us-now-praise-fanboys-the-unsung-heroes-of-grammar-897f4e38df93

July 23, 2015

This was the sentence: "There is a grammar error that everyone encounters every day, it’s not a dangling modifier, a sentence that ends in a preposition, or a split infinitive."

Here are some ways to correct the error (COMMA SPLICE):

- USE A COLON: There is a grammar error that everyone encounters every day: it’s not a dangling modifier, a sentence that ends in a preposition, or a split infinitive.
- USE A SEMICOLON: There is a grammar error that everyone encounters every day; it’s not a dangling modifier, a sentence that ends in a preposition, or a split infinitive.
- USE A "FANBOYS" WORD: There is a grammar error that everyone encounters every day, AND it’s not a dangling modifier, a sentence that ends in a preposition, or a split infinitive.
- USE A PERIOD: There is a grammar error that everyone encounters every day. It’s not a dangling modifier, a sentence that ends in a preposition, or a split infinitive.

how to use UPON in a sentence other than " once upon a time?" 😏

July 23, 2015

- She went into mourning UPON her brother's death.
- He jumped UPON his horse and rode off toward the next town.
- UPON reflection, Peter's cousin changed her mind about her college major.

For other examples, go here: http://bit.ly/1TUCtLK (You'll notice that "upon" is often used interchangeably with "on.") ✌️

" Don't you have anything else better to do other than seek attention" is this correct?

the lyrics are showing that how hard working person he is pls correct this

July 23, 2015

"The lyrics prove how hard he works" or "The lyrics show his strong work ethic" are fine. If you want to be really sophisticated something like "The lyrics are a testament to his diligence" would work. ✌️

Is there any difference between supposed and suppose? I thought the letter D in supposed is not optional. But I keep seeing the "suppose" on the tv. Thank you in advance smiles

July 23, 2015

About the only time we use "suppose" without the "d" is in questions like this: "What do you suppose caused this accident?" "I suppose I arrived home last night before midnight." ("Suppose" without the "d" means "assume.")

Most of the time, we use "supposed":

- What am I supposed to do about this problem?
- You aren't supposed to be here!
- He is supposed to be studying, but he's playing games instead.

The main reason is probably because here in Indonesia, English has somehow become a 'trend' lately! Kids with fluent English are considered to be 'cool' nowadays :-)

whats the different of least, and last?

July 22, 2015

"Least" = smallest in amount or extent or degree, e.g., Nan has the LEAST work to do. This is the LEAST important problem to worry about. The LEAST popular character from that show is the protagonist.

"Last" = coming after all others in time or space or degree or being the only one remaining, e.g., Henry was the LAST person to finish the race. The LAST thing on my shopping list is toothpaste. Who was the LAST emperor of China?

"Child" and "kid" mean the same thing. "Kid" is less formal than "child." In your example, "I don't want to be a child of war" is better. ✌️

Is there any difference purpose of using "by the way" and "anyway"?

July 22, 2015

We use "by the way" to introduce a minor topic not connected with what was being spoken about previously:

Nan: I've been listening to a lot of K-pop lately.
Henry: By the way, BIGBANG's newest songs are all fantastic, baby! #Haha

"Anyway" = anyhow, in any case, regardless:

- It was raining, but Nan went jogging anyway.
- Don't worry about the test, and besides, it's too late to start studying anyway.
- What are you doing here, anyway?
