"Work in progress" or "work on progress" ? What is the different?

July 10, 2015

"Work in progress" (WIP) is an expression that means that something has been started but is not finished.

---

For example, if an artist posts a drawing (on Tumblr, for example) that is only a pencil sketch, he or she might tag it with "WIP" for "work in progress," so that whoever sees the drawing would know that it's not the final version.

---

"Work on progress" is not something we say or write, i.e., it is not idiomatic.

---

Here is a good example of this: http://auroreblackcat.tumblr.com/post/121413762944 (Notice that the artist wrote "WIP" below the drawing.)

"Everybody have" or "everybody has"?

July 10, 2015

"Everybody" is singular, so it should be "Everybody HAS," e.g., Everybody HAS a lot of homework tonight.

usa goes to finals or usa go to finals?

Abdurrahim Maulana Arsyad

July 10, 2015

In American English, we would say that the USA GOES to the finals (we treat USA as a singular noun, i.e., a single country). In British English, people are more likely to say that the USA GO to the finals.

---

As another example, in American English, we would say that Manchester United IS visiting our city this summer. In British English, people are more likely to say that Manchester United ARE visiting our city this summer.

Yes. ✌️ (But "I don't know exactly what I'm looking at" would also work.)

Judgment/Judgement? Thanks!

July 09, 2015

They're the same word. "Judgment" is the preferred American spelling; "judgement" is the preferred British spelling. (Both are right.) 👍

(The same goes for "acknowledgment" and "acknowledgement.")

July 09, 2015

They're the same word. "Favorite" is the American spelling; "favourite" is the British spelling.

---

- My NEIGHBOR'S FAVORITE COLOR is GRAY. (All American spelling)
- My NEIGHBOUR'S FAVOURITE COLOUR is GREY. (All British spelling)

Those two examples are saying exactly the same thing.

Hi sir/miss. I've some question. When we should use "s" in the sentences? For example is. I like to eat pancake or I likes to eat pancake? I hope you can explain a lil bit more about this because it's make me confuse😅

July 09, 2015

Hi. We add "s" to verbs to indicate that it's a PRESENT TENSE SINGULAR VERB (except for "I" and "you").

---

For example,

---

- Henry EATS bagels for breakfast.
- Peter READS manga on Thursday.
- Nan LIKES to drive on rainy days.

---

For "I" and "you," the PRESENT TENSE FORM does not end in "s":

---

- I EAT bagels for breakfast.
- You READ manga on Thursday, right?
- I LIKE to drive on rainy days.

---

I hope this makes more sense now. ✌️

July 09, 2015

"Hang" is the present tense form for "I," "you," "we," "they," and plural nouns, e.g, Let's HANG this picture where everyone can see it.

---

"Hung" is the past tense for paintings, clothing, phones, and the act of "hanging out," e.g., We HUNG the painting in the library; they HUNG their jerseys in their lockers; we HUNG up the phone at the same time; Henry and Nan HUNG out at the mall last weekend.

Is this sentence right "all I have to do IS cleaning, cooking, and eating"? Is it supposed to be "are" or using "is" is right? Thanks!!:)

July 09, 2015

This is a tricky one. Grammatically speaking, "are" is better, since we're talking about three distinct things. However, idiomatically, "is" is better (in other words, it's more "natural" and "common" to use "is," no matter how many things follow "all I have to do"). We would go with "is," since you will face less criticism that way, since that's how most people would say or write it. Of course, you can always avoid the problem by rephrasing the sentence to something like "I am required only to clean, cook, and eat." (Although that sentence sounds a bit formal, you will face no criticism or opposition.)

what is the difference between worst and worse?

July 09, 2015

"Worse" is the comparative form of "bad" (think of it as "more bad") and is used in direct comparisons involving two people, things, or group of things:

---

- Henry is WORSE at Japanese than Peter is.
- This movie is WORSE than the one I saw last week.
- This sandwich is WORSE than anything I've ever eaten.
- Which is a WORSE way of dying: of hunger or thirst?

---

"Worst" is the superlative form of "bad." Think of it as "most bad":

---

- This is the WORST movie ever!
- Last week's episode had the WORST ending.
- Sadly, Jo's YouTube video received the WORST reviews.

July 08, 2015

"I don't GET scared at all" would be right. (Although "scared" looks like a past tense verb, it's actually functioning as an adjective in that sentence. For example, "The SCARED (adjective) child ran to his mother.")

---

"I never get scared" or "Nothing ever scares me" would also work. 👍
