"I thought you like him" or "I thought you liked him"?

January 25, 2015

"I thought you liked him." (Keep the tenses consistent: "thought" [past] with "liked" [past].)

What's the difference between yourself and your self then?

January 25, 2015

"Yourself" is a reflexive pronoun. For more on them, read this: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1KxxV5N

"Your self" is often used in phrases such as "Your self-worth isn't determined by others" or "Your self-esteem seems low."

What is e.g.?

January 25, 2015

We use "e.g." (short for "exempli gratia") to provide examples:

- Jo enjoys many different kinds of books, e.g., novels, short stories, biographies, and mangas.

Two notes:

- Most style guides recommend putting a comma after "e.g."
- Do NOT use "etc." with "e.g."

can you explain me about unlike and unlikely?

January 25, 2015

"Unlike" is an adjective or preposition that means "different from" or "not similar to":

- My sisters and I are completely unlike; it's difficult to believe that we are actually related.
- Unlike my cat, my dog likes to take baths.

"Unlikely" is an adjective that means "not likely to happen or be true":

- It is unlikely that she will win the singing contest.
- We are unlikely to meet the band after the concert.

What is difference between know & knew?

"Know" is present tense for I, you, and plural nouns:

- I know the answer!
- They know the truth!

"Knew" is the simple past for all nouns:

- You knew that I was your long-lost brother?!
- They knew the answer to the question yesterday.

What is etc?

January 23, 2015

It's an abbreviation of "et cetera," and it's used at the end of a list to indicate that similar items are included: "We went to the store and bought milk, chips, bagels, cookies, etc."

this's what I call "or" this's what I called? thanks in advance :-)

'I cried a lot yesterday' or 'I cries a lot yesterday'? Or both are wrong? :)

January 23, 2015

"I cried a lot yesterday" is right.

"I cries" is always wrong: in the PRESENT tense, "I" needs to be followed by the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:

- I eat.
- I dance.
- I jump.
- I sing.

'I can't deal with people in anger' is that correct?

January 22, 2015

Yes, but that means that you can't deal with people when YOU'RE in an angry state.

The other way to express it is "I can't deal with angry people," which means that you can't deal with people when THEY are angry.

umm sorry for spamming, but could you please answer my question about how to use "literally and tho" in the positive, negative, and interrogative sentence, please?

January 22, 2015

Positive: I could LITERALLY kiss you right now! (Kiss.)
Negative: I'm not LITERALLY going to kiss you. (No kiss.)
Interrogative: Are you asking me if I am LITERALLY going to kiss you?

"Tho" is an informal abbreviation of "though," so never use it in formal writing.

For the usage of "though," read this: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1Q0U2wU
