i didn't or i doesn't?

February 20, 2015

NEVER use "doesn't" with "I."

---

Present tense: I DON'T like vegetables.
Past tense: I DIDN'T like vegetables when I was a child.

"David Tennant was a great Doctor, but I like Peter Capaldi better". Is that correct?

February 20, 2015

Yes.

(But we don't agree. Henry's favorite Doctor is actually Matt Smith.) ;-)

"I'd kept these for since 2008 and it's still exist till now . " is this sentence true ?

February 20, 2015

"I have kept these since 2008" would say the exact same thing—in fewer words.

G-DRAGON. (For us, G-DRAGON > every other K-pop artist. He's the reason we got into K-pop in the first place.) Having said that, we like a lot of other artists too.

'also can' or 'can also'??? (psstt! i love bigbang too. hihi)

Faiqah.H

Hey, VIP. :-)

---

Let's look at a pair of examples:

---

Nan: I can dance and cook.
Peter: I ALSO CAN dance and cook. (You're not the only one who can do those things. I can do them too.)

---

Nan: I can sing and jump.
Nan: I CAN ALSO dance and cook. (I can sing, jump, dance, and cook.)

---

Do you see the difference? If you don't, then don't worry about it too much. Most experts don't care which way you write it, but they think "can also" is better.

---

To make the meaning clear in your sentence, just use different words:

---

For example, "I can dance and cook too." (Instead of using "can also.")

what is the difference between she asks and she asked? "she asked me to be her valentine" "she asks me who is my valentine"

February 20, 2015

"Asks" is present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns. "Asked" is the simple past tense for all nouns.

---

- She asks me for my number every day. (Action that occurs regularly.)
- She asked me for my number yesterday. (Past tense.)

how to use "less"?

February 20, 2015

We use "less" with nouns that cannot be counted or are counted in bulk (mass nouns):

---

- I feel LESS stress (uncountable noun) today than I did yesterday.
- I have LESS money (mass noun) than Bill Gates.
- They have LESS stuff (mass noun) than we do.

---

In contrast, we use "fewer" with nouns that can be counted:

---

- I have FEWER pets than she does.
- Peter ate FEWER hot dogs than Henry did.
- Nan watches FEWER movies than Peter does.
- Henry drinks FEWER cups of coffee than he used to.

"Thank God":

Henry: Thank God he didn't get hurt.

Many people also say "thank goodness." It means the same thing.

"Ain't good" or "ain't no good?"

February 20, 2015

Both are right. "Ain't" is an informal/slang word that can be used as a double negative:

---

- He ain't no singer. (He is not a singer.)
- He ain't a singer. (He is not a singer.)
- That song ain't good. (That song isn't good.)
- That song ain't no good. (That isn't good.)

---

They mean the same thing.

Why are conjunctions allowed to start a sentence, such as 'And'?

T.K. Chapin

February 20, 2015

Although it is okay to start sentences with "And," "Or," "But," etc., you shouldn't overdo it. Most teachers don't like it. And they will be happy to penalize you. (But it's not actually wrong.)

I heard a lyric song said 'yesterday i saw a lion kiss a dear'. Why it is 'kiss' but not 'kissed'? It's past tense,right because it's yesterday. Btw it's lost stars by Maroon 5. I also searched up the lyric

February 19, 2015

With "saw," we use either the base form (bare infinitive) or the -ing form of the verb:

---

- I saw Mommy KISSING Santa Claus.
- I saw a building COLLAPSE yesterday.
- I saw an elephant WALKING across the street.
- I saw my dog CHEW his own tail.
