"Did she just have to..." Is this correct? If so, how is the 'have' correct when she: has?

February 18, 2015

After DO, DON'T, DID, DIDN'T, DOES, and DOESN'T, we use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:

---

- DO the good guys WIN in the end?
- DOES she KNOW that you're a famous teacher?
- DON'T they PAY attention in class?
- DIDN'T Peter TELL you that the meeting has been postponed?
- DID she HAVE to go to the principal's office again?

how to use "isnt?" at the end of question?

February 18, 2015

#TokyoGhoulSpoiler

---

Peter: I don't think Koutarou Amon is dead.
Henry: What? He isnt'?!

---

If you want to use "isn't" at the end of a question, it's often better to use it thus:

---

Peter: I don't think Koutarou Amon is dead.
Henry: What? He's not?!

February 17, 2015

"My feelings for you haven't changed" is better because it's much more popular.

If the plural form sounds weird to you, you could also say "My LOVE for you HASN'T changed."

Why did u put 'became' instead of 'become' in ur 'what would you do if your song become number 1'

February 17, 2015

One of the uses of "would" is as the past tense of "will"; "became" is past tense, so using "would" (also past tense) maintains the same verb tense.

do you have any reasons why there are some sentences like Laughing Out Loud can be shortened, not like Speaking Of Which, which is the latter most used to met on daily basis? ._. thank you in advance

February 17, 2015

If SOW became a popular way to say "speaking of which," lots of people would start using it, and eventually, it would become an "official" word.

---

For some reason, abbreviations (initialisms) such as FML, ROFL, STFU, WTF, OMG, have become popular and part of everyday language. When those words were first "created," many people probably thought they were stupid.

TL;DR It's random. ;-)

February 17, 2015

They can both be right; they mean different things:

---

1. ... that portrait was hung with other portraits = At some point in time, someone hung that painting with other portraits. (This is a one-time action.)

2. ... that portrait was hanging with other portraits = That painting was hanging with other portraits throughout that period of time. (This is a continuing action.)
