What is the meaning of "sums up the day" ? Thankyou.

May 28, 2015

It means "summarizes the day" or "gives a summary of the day": Nan summed up her day by giving me a big thumbs up. 👍 (Nan is basically saying that she had a great day.)

Participant of Students’ Exchange Programme during 13-20 August 2014 between Senior High School 6 Malang and Takhliprachasan School Thailand. is this correct?

May 28, 2015

It sounds like an entry in a resume or an application. If so, then yes. That's fine.

May 28, 2015

August 17, 2015 is right. (You could also say "the 17th of August," but not "August 17th, 2015.")

hi could you please help me by checking my grammar. "Falling in love at the first sight only exits in drama" is it correct?

May 28, 2015

"Love at first sight exists only in dramas" would be a concise way to say it. ^^

"The season is started" ---- is that right?

May 28, 2015

"The season started" or "The season HAS started" would be right, but not "The season is started."

"it makes baekhyun always wanted to give up on him, but always failed." is this correct?

May 28, 2015

We're not exactly sure what you're trying to say, but "It makes Baekhyun want to give up on him, but it always fails" would be better. (The sentence would be much clearer if you specified what "it" is.)

How would this sentence: "Mira said to me wether I could accompany her to see her mother" be in indirect speech?

May 28, 2015

It already is indirect speech. It's just grammatically awkward. "Mira asked me if I could accompany her to see her mother" would be better.

In DIRECT speech, it would be like this: Mira asked me, "Could you accompany me to see my mother?"

Are tyres and wheels interchangeable? is it correct if i write "You should check the tyres" instead of "You should check the wheels"?

May 28, 2015

Not really. We say "flat tire" (or "tyre"), but we don't say "flat wheel." The wheel is more like the combination of the tire and the rim. The tire is just the black rubber part.

could u please tell me the difference between 'only one who knows' and 'only ones who know' ?the latter i heard it at one of the song's title

May 28, 2015

"Only one who knows" is talking about ONE person: Nan is the only one who knows the password.

"Only ones who know" is talking about MORE THAN ONE person: Nan and Henry are the only ones who know where the treasure is buried.

Three months more to our first anniversary or three more months?

May 28, 2015

"Three more months" is how 99% of the world would say it. "Three months more" is not wrong, but it's not common. It would be used mainly for emphasis.

One of Nan's favorite songs from the musical "Les Misérables" is called "One Day More" (which sounds much more dramatic than "One More Day").

"It makes sense" / "It make sense" ?

May 28, 2015

"It" is singular, so it should be "makes." ("Make" is the present tense form for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns.)

When is the right time to put 's' in the end of a word. Ex: "sleeps", "sounds", "naps", "makes", "sings" and etc ?

May 28, 2015

When you're talking about the present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns (except for "I" and "you"):

- Nan sleeps nine hours every night.
- The song sounds terrible.
- Peter makes the best sandwiches.
- My aunt sings for her church choir.

Is it "I wish/think/believe/hope/etc. you'll ..." or "I wish/think/believe/hope/etc. THAT you'll ..."?

May 28, 2015

In those examples, "that" is optional. Leaving it out doesn't change the meaning of the sentence.

Here is an example when taking out "that" changes the meaning of the sentence: "Those that are broken should be fixed or thrown away." (If we take out "that," we get "Those are broken should be fixed or thrown away," which isn't a grammatical sentence.)

Can we use 'thanks a lot'?

May 28, 2015

Sure. ^^

the only things/ the things - regarding your answer. I thought 'only' used for the one and only, and 'things' are plural, so why it still use the word 'only'? thanks

May 27, 2015

"Only" doesn't have to be used with singular nouns. For example,

- Only WOMEN can give birth.
- Only ADULTS are allowed to enter the movie theater.
- Only the correct ANSWERS will count toward your final score.
- We were the only WITNESSES who told the truth.

Of course, "only" can also be used with singular nouns:

- He was the only BOY who showed up.
- She was the only STUDENT who passed the exam.
- I was the only ONE who bought a ticket.

What does 'feel justified' mean?

May 27, 2015

When you "feel justified," it means two things:

1) You feel that you have a right to do something: "As your sister, I feel justified in telling you that you are a spoiled brat."
2) Even though people doubted you, you were proven right in the end: "When the teacher agreed with Peter's strange answer, he felt justified." (This usage is like "vindicated.")
