The YUNiversity

Most and more ?

July 01, 2015

Use "most" in comparisons and statements that involve three or more people or things:

---

- Of all South Koreans, Siwon Choi has the MOST Twitter followers.
- My uncle is the MOST intelligent person I know.

---

"More" is much more flexible; you can use it to compare two people or things—or as many things as you want:

---

- That book is MORE interesting than this one. (Two things)
- Siwon Choi has MORE Twitter followers than G-DRAGON, CL, and Nichkhun. (More than two.)

"It affects you either." Is it true?

July 01, 2015

"It affects you too" and "It also affects you" are right. 👍

---

If you want to use "either," you have to say the opposite thing: "It DOESN'T affect you either."

I like kendall, cara, katie and whatnots. Its that correct?

July 01, 2015

We use "whatnots" for things, not people. For people, use "et al.": I like Kendall, Cara, Katie, et al.

Hi. Is there any rules saying that we should use base word after PLEASE. eg: please puts your hands up. Or please put your hands up. Thank you!

July 01, 2015

All of the following are correct:

---

- Please SIT down.
- Please REMAIN standing.
- Nan asked the waiter, "Can you please TAKE our order?"
- Naruto told Sasuke, "Please COME back to our village."

---

In other words, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb after "please."

Is "good luck on your studies" correct or should it be "good luck with your studies"? And does it make sense if someone tells you, "good luck to your studies"?

June 29, 2015

1. "Good luck to your studies" makes no sense, so don't use it. ("Good luck to" should be followed by a person, organization, team, etc., e.g., Good luck to you!)

---

2. "Good luck on" is usually used for one-time things: exam, interview, presentation, etc.

---

3. "Good luck with" is usually used for long-term things: projects, research, studies, etc.

---

Therefore, more people would say "Good luck WITH your studies" than "Good luck ON your studies." Having said that, this is not a formal rule. Many people use "good luck on" and "good luck with" interchangeably.

So, breakfasting means breakfast, not finishing your fast at the end of the day — is there an English word for that?

June 29, 2015

Someone mentioned that "Iftar" works. The dictionary defines "iftar" as "the meal eaten by Muslims after sunset during Ramadan." There is no "English" word for it.

Hi, from your an opinion which is the best ways to improve English language? Whether by reading a book? Listening to music ? Watching a movie with sub titles or Trying to talking with friends/family members? Thanks😊 sorry if my English not so good. I'm trying to improved it.

June 29, 2015

Excellent question. From experience, we recommend almost everything you mentioned: read books and magazines, watch a movie in English and have English subtitles turned on (so you can hear and read English at the same time), and practice speaking AND WRITING with friends and family. We suggest that you do all these things EVERY SINGLE DAY. We don't find listening to pop music very helpful because the grammar is usually quite poor and informal. (Pop songs are helpful for learning slang, but slang is actually harmful to someone who is trying to learn formal English.)

What's the right word for "Buka Puasa"?

June 29, 2015

We have no idea. We used Google Translate and learned that "Buka Puasa" is Indonesian for "breaking the fast."

FYI, we DO NOT speak Indonesian, Malay, Tagalog, Thai, etc. Although we are happy to learn phrases in those language, we won't be able to answer any questions regarding any language other than ENGLISH.

"Whatnot" is an INFORMAL word that functions similarly to "etc.": Peter bought cables, cords, adapters, and whatnots for his business trip to Hong Kong. (Don't use "whatnot" in your essays.)

Sorry I forgot to mention, I mean when you eat after you were fasting. Would it be fast-breaking or breakfasting?

June 29, 2015

It definitely wouldn't be "breakfasting" (which means "eating breakfast"). "Fast-breaking" is a term that is often used in basketball to describe a quick counterattack after stealing the ball or getting a rebound. Therefore, we would recommend something like "first meal after a fast," e.g., This is my first meal after my religious fast.

Hi, may I know what's the different between DID, DONT and DOESNT? Thanks😃

June 29, 2015

DID = the past tense of "do" for all nouns: DID you have fun yesterday? She DID an excellent job last week.

---

DON'T = do not. We use "don't" with I, you, we, they, and plural nouns: We DON'T like vegetables. They DON'T enjoy studying. You DON'T seem to be having fun.

---

DOESN'T = does not. We use "doesn't" with he, she, it, and singular nouns (except "I" and "you"): She DOESN'T live here anymore. That answer DOESN'T sound right. Henry DOESN'T know where he left his car keys.

---

💁 Both DON'T and DOESN'T are present tense.
