"aren't I beautiful?" is this correct? I found this sentence on the internet and I kinda confused.
"Aren't I?" is acceptable in informal language, but many grammar experts and teachers will say that it's not grammatical because "Aren't I" is like saying "I aren't."Unfortunately, the correct way of saying it is "Am I not?" It sounds ridiculously formal.Therefore, use "Aren't I?" and don't worry about it. Grammar has rules, but it is flexible enough to change over time. ^^
What is the different between "she has also" and "she also has"
Let's look at this example: "My cousin has been to Paris. She HAS ALSO been to London."In that instance, nobody would really care if you wrote "She ALSO HAS been to London." Grammar experts do not agree on what is "right" or "better" in cases like that. It's an issue of preference.However, there are these cases:- She has a car. She ALSO HAS a computer. - She has a laptop. Her sister ALSO HAS a laptop."She HAS ALSO a computer" and "Her sister HAS ALSO a laptop" just sound terrible. ("Has also" should be followed by a past participle not a noun.)
We get a lot of requests to correct essays, homework, etc. We regretfully say no every single time. These days, we are so busy that we even have to say no to people who are willing to pay a lot of money for us to read over their work.Sorry. We hope you understand. ^^
Hi. Can you give the simplest way of learning the 16 grammar? I'm so dizzy learning it because of my teacher. I'm indonesian by the way. Thank you so much in advance!
One of the best sites we've found for learning verb tenses is Englishpage.com: http://www.englishpage.com/verbpage/types.htmlGive it a try! (Go through all the links on the left side.)(⌒ ͜ʖ⌒)-b
'Do you really think I would come with you ' is it correct?
"DID you really think I WOULD go with you" and "DO you really think I WILL go with you" are better.- "Did" and "would" are both past tense; "do" and "will" are both present tense. - Changing "come" to "go" makes more sense.
Yes. (But keep in mind that "Nope" is slang/informal.)
on/in behalf of ?
"In behalf of" = for the benefit of; in the interest of. (Think of it as "What is it for?")"On behalf of" = as the agent of; in place of. (Think of it as "Who is it for?")Nan gave a donation of $500, ON BEHALF OF HER FAMILY, to be used IN BEHALF OF buying nutritious and tasty meals for homeless people.
"A few months ago" is better in formal writing. "A few months back" is OK if you're using it with friends or in informal contexts (chatting, texting, etc.).
Does 'he has worked at the hospital for more than five years' mean he's still working at the hospital or already stopped? Pls help me im so confused
It means that he is still working at the hospital. We use the present perfect tense (Has/have + past participle) to indicate an action that began in the past and is still happening:- It has rained since last Friday. (It started raining on Friday, and it still is raining.) - Peter and Henry have been friends since 2004. (They became friends in 2003, and they are still friends.)
"do something/whatever that makes/make you happy" ?
These would be right:- Do something that MAKES you happy. ("Something" is singular, so we need "makes.") - Do whatever MAKES you happy. ("Whatever" is singular, so we need "makes.")
"I care about you" is right; it's an idiomatic expression."Care of you" is never right as "I care of you." "Care of you" can be used in sentences such as "I will take care of you," which means "I will protect you," "I will be there for you when you're sick," "I will be financially responsible for you," etc.
She is the one that i love to talk to or to talk with? I am confuseddd.
When you talk TO someone, it suggests that you are dominating the discussion, or that the other person isn't talking: My mom talked TO me about the dangers of chatting with strangers online. (She did all of the talking; I was just listening.)When you talk WITH someone, it suggests that you are having a conversation together: I love talking about food WITH my mom. (We share our ideas about food.)
"Window shopping" is when you visit a store (or look through the windows of a store) just to check out the merchandise. In other words, you're just browsing. You don't intend to buy anything. People who don't have enough money to shop at an expensive store—but want to look at the merchandise anyway—would be "window shopping."Henry: What did you do today? Nan: I walked down Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills with my sister; we did a lot of window shopping.
is that right to use "is" in sentences like "that's my friends", "there is many people" etc.?
Nope. "Is" is singular, so "Those ARE my friends" and "There ARE many people" would be right.- This apple is delicious. - That song is so addictive; I can't stop listening to it! - Where is my dog?
Why every time we use “does” then the next sentence, we no need to use “s”? example “what does she say” why not “why does she says”
Correct. After DOES, DO, DID, DOESN'T, DON'T, and DIDN'T, we use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:- What DID she EAT yesterday? - Why DOESN'T Henry USE crayons to color his drawings? - When DOES Peter WORK out at the gym?
"I don't talk much" = I am an introvert or reserved person who generally doesn't speak much."I don't say much" sounds awkward. There is the common expression "I don't have much to say," but that means "I have no comment to make about this matter."If you're curious about the difference between "say" and "talk," read this: http://bit.ly/1FoNrnm ^^
how to use the word 'ever since' ?
- Ever since that day, he has been a different person. - Ever since she started wearing sneakers instead of high heels, her back has been feeling better.We use "ever since" to avoid confusion when using "since" might be confusing (because "since" can also mean "because"), or to add emphasis. ^^
Do I need to use the basic form of the verbs after should, would and could?
Yes:- I told her that she SHOULD STUDY (not "studies"). - Nan find out that she COULD GO (not "goes") to the party tomorrow. - Peter WOULD BUY (not "buys") more bitcoins if he thought they were a good investment.
