whats wrong with saying "stuffs" i don't get it

October 09, 2016

"Stuff" is considered a mass/uncountable noun, so as a noun, it's always "stuff." For example, "I have too much stuff in my car," "Where did you put all my stuff?", "Did you get enough stuff for our trip?"

---

"Stuffs" can be right, but only as a verb (the present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns), e.g., "Santa stuffs stockings with presents." 🎅🎄

what's the diff between "memorize" & "remember" ? Explain clearly. thnx

October 09, 2016

"Memorize" is much more deliberate and intentional. You have to practice, focus, work hard, and study to memorize something. For example, if you wanted to remember that pi (π) begins with 3.141592653589793238..., you have to memorize it.

---

"Remember" is passive. Even without trying, you can easily remember what you ate for lunch yesterday. You can remember the name of your 4th grade teacher. You can remember that you have a big exam tomorrow.

A blessing in disguise means ??

October 09, 2016

A "blessing in disguise" is something that seems bad or unlucky at first, but it later turns out to be helpful or beneficial.

---

For example, if you lost your job, that would be a bad thing. However, if you ended up getting a better job, then losing your job was a blessing in disguise.

---

Similarly, if you got into a car accident, that would be a bad thing. However, if the accident was the other person's fault, and their insurance paid you enough money to buy a brand new car, then getting into the accident was a blessing in disguise.

What the meaning of overrated and underrated?

October 09, 2016

"Overrated" means that people think that something/someone is much better than it actually is. For example, if there is a restaurant that always has hundreds of people standing in line and has thousands of excellent reviews on Yelp (but you know that the food isn't that good because you've tried it before), then you would say that the restaurant is overrated. People use "overrated" with athletes, movies, books, songs, video games—basically anything that can be "rated."

---

Peter: Can you believe he's a 94 on FIFA 16?
Henry: What?! He's so overrated! He should be a 79 at best!

---

"Underrated" would be the opposite: something or someone who is much better than people think it is.

---

Henry: Can you believe he's a 76 on FIFA 16?
Peter: What?! He's so underrated! He should be at least a 92!

What are the differences between these two :: ●That thing IS gone. ●That thing HAS gone. Please enlighten. Thnks

October 09, 2016

"That thing HAS gone" is nonstandard English. It's acceptable only in spoken or informal English. It should be "That thing has LEFT." ("That thing IS gone" is standard English.) "That thing has gone" would be correct if it you add more words, e.g., "That thing has gone to the highest bidder" or "That thing has gone to my brother, who bought it at online."

I'm confused whether 'experience' is countable or uncountable. If i write 'organization experiences' in my CV, is it true? Thanks in advance.

October 06, 2016

We use "experience" as an uncountable noun when we're talking about a knowledge or skill that we gained from doing, seeing, or feeling things. Therefore, on a CV, you'd be more likely to use "experience."

---

We use "experiences" a s accountable noun when we're talking about a particular incident from the past, e.g., "I love hearing about my grandfather's experiences during his childhood."

1. When you're alone, talk to yourself in English.
2. Play TV shows or movies with the English subtitles on and say all the lines out loud.
3. Read English books and magazines out loud.
4. Speak English as often as you can.

Since you're already good at understanding English, focus on speaking (not listening). It's going to take time, but if you don't give up, you will get better every day. Good luck! 💪
