"With whom you come here" or "with who you cone here" ?

April 03, 2017

"With whom did you come here?" is right. In simple terms, we use "whom" with prepositions: with, for, at, by, beside, from, of, etc.

What is the meaning of "less than perfect"? Thanks!

April 03, 2017

It literally means "not perfect," but most people use it sarcastically. They use "less than perfect" to describe something or someone that is really bad. For example, "My car is less than perfect: the windshield wipers don't work and the windows don't roll down, but I still love it."

Why at some sentences especially past tenses, some of them used had two times. As an example: And Dean had had enough. What requirements to use had two times?

April 03, 2017

"Had had" is just the past perfect tense (had + past participle). It works exactly the same way as "had eaten," "had written," "had slept," etc. It looks strange only because the past participle of "have" is "had," so in the past perfect tense, we get "had had." Don't worry about how it looks and focus on what it means:

---

- I had had a cold until yesterday. 😰
- By the time Nan arrived at the restaurant, Henry and Peter had had more than a few drinks. 🍸
- After Peter had had a good night's sleep, he felt much better. 🛌

is a magazine report written in formal or informal?

April 03, 2017

Generally speaking, magazine articles are written in formal (i.e., standard) English. Obviously, some magazines are more formal than others. ("The New Yorker," "The Atlantic," and "The Economist," for example, are much more formal than "Us Weekly," "Seventeen," etc.)

Is it right? "Perfectness doesn't influence others, but how i deal with my imperfectness would"

October 16, 2016

"Being perfect doesn't influence others, but how I deal with my imperfections does." (Since the first part of the sentence has "doesn't," we want to use "does" at the end to maintain parallel structure.)

What does 'put up a fight' means? "Well, your other side of wanting to be strong so that you could put up in a fight, and protect yourself, and also to protect your loved ones." Is the sentence correct to use "put up in a fight"?

October 16, 2016

To "put up a fight" means to offer resistance to an attack or challenge; to argue or compete without giving up easily.

---

It's not "put up in a fight." It's "put up a fight" (no "in"). For example, "The last-place team put up a fight before eventually losing to the defending world champions in a close match."

October 16, 2016

"Selective approval" is correct. "Selective" is an adjective, so it must modify a noun: "approval."

---

"Approve" is a verb, so it must be "selectively approve" or "approve selectively." ("Selectively" is an adverb.)

Can you explain to me about more, much and many? Thanks

October 12, 2016

Use "much" with uncountable/mass nouns:

---

- I have too MUCH stress.
- You drink too MUCH water.
- She assigns too MUCH homework.

---

Use "many" for countable nouns:

---

- There are too MANY stressful moments in my day.
- You drank too MANY bottles of water.
- She assigns too MANY math problems for homework.

---

Use "more" with either mass/uncountable or countable nouns. It's the comparative form for both "many" and "much":

---

- I need more water.
- I want more bottles of water.
- She would like more bread.
- Does he really need to buy more shoes?
