The use of HAS & HAD confuses me. How do I know when to use each one? :(

July 16, 2015

Has → present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns (except "I" and "you"):

---

- Peter has a black car.
- Nan has a lot of clothes.
- Henry has a lot of shoes.

---

Have → present tense for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns:

---

- I have to study now.
- They have violin practice at noon.

---

Had → past tense for all nouns:

---

- Peter had no appointments yesterday, so he went to the cafe and relaxed.
- Nan had to get a shot from the doctor yesterday.
- Chewie and Henry had fun at the beach on Monday.

Is " 'till " right? If it came from the word, "until", then it should've been " 'til " with just one letter L.

July 16, 2015

UNTIL and TILL are good.

---

'TIL and TIL are considered informal.

which one is corret, shes stole / she stoles ?

July 16, 2015

"Stole" is the past tense form of "steal" for all nouns. "She stole" is right, e.g., While I was taking a nap, SHE STOLE my iPhone.

Which one is right "more precisely" or "more precise"?

July 16, 2015

It depends. If you're describing an object (e.g., an idea, device, or method), it would be "more precise": This instrument is MORE PRECISE than that one. ("Precise" is an adjective.)

---

If you're describing an action (e.g., measuring, recording), it would be "more precisely": This thermometer measures temperature MORE PRECISELY than that one does. ("Precisely" is an adverb.)

what the difference between realize and realise?

July 15, 2015

They're the same word. "Realize" is the American spelling; "realise" is the British spelling. Similarly, "analyze" is American spelling; "analyse" is British spelling. The same applies to "recognize" and "recognise." ✌️

When Henry (our main admin is feeling down), he often turns to quotes from "Naruto." Both Kishimoto-sensei and the English translators do a great job of producing inspiring and motivating quotes. 💪

What does 'relatable' mean?

July 15, 2015

It means that you can relate to (i.e., understand) something or someone, e.g., Nan's nephew enjoyed the novel because he found the protagonist heroic yet relatable.

was= past tense form for i, he, she, it. but why "i wish (i was) special" should be "i wish (i were) special" and "if (i was) your bf" should be "if (i were) your bf"

July 15, 2015

It's because of the subjunctive mood. Read more about it here: http://bitly.com/1pWL29K ✌️

sir, where do we use 'fetish' and 'fetus' and what's the difference?

July 15, 2015

Whoa ... there is a HUGE difference between the two words. A "fetus" is "an unborn offspring of a mammal." (See picture.)

---

A "fetish" is "an extremely strong devotion to something." There are sexual fetishes and nonsexual fetishes: both are obsessive interests, e.g., Peter's cousin has a fetish for Apple products.

"Word" rhymes with "bird" and "heard." "World" rhymes with "hurled" and "twirled." It would probably help for you to hear "world" pronounced, so go here http://bit.ly/1vKgURt and click on the volume/speaker icon next to "world." ✌️

"If I were a bird, I would've flown to your place." Is this right? :D

July 15, 2015

Yes. Your sentence suggests past tense. ("If I were a bird, I would FLY to your place" would be the way to express it in the present tense.) Both are using the subjunctive mood.

- The latest episode has YET to be uploaded.
- He was a tough YET fair boss.
- It was their most impressive performance YET.
- We were lost, YET we managed to find our way home.
