Pretty sure that didn't happened or Pretty sure that didn't happen?

January 21, 2015

"... didn't HAPPEN." After DID, DIDN'T, DO, DON'T, DOES, and DOESN'T, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:

---

- She doesn't LIKE ice cream.
- I didn't WRITE that!
- We don't SING or dance.
- Didn't she SAY that she prefers coffee to tea?

For the Indonesian sentences you asked : - How are you? = Apa kabar? - Thank you = Terima kasih - You're welcome = Sama-sama. As translator, your account really helps me. Thank you :)

January 21, 2015

"Terima kasih" for the information.

"Sama-sama." We're glad to help. ^_^

is that right - "you can take the book with yourself: to the street, at school, in the cinema" i don't think it's right :(

January 21, 2015

"You can take the book with you anywhere" is a better, more concise way to say the same thing. (If you replace "the book" with "a book," it'll sound even better.)

I have a 2 day-off or I have 2 days off?

January 21, 2015

"I have two days off." "I have a week off."

---

If you put a hyphen, you turn it into an adjective: "I have a seven-day vacation." "I am going to Korea on a six-week trip." (And the noun that follows has to be singular, e.g., "vacation" and "trip.")

What does 'for the record' mean? Can you please give me examples? Thank you ^^

January 21, 2015

"For the record" basically means "so that everyone can know the facts":

---

- For the record, I never liked you; I only pretended that I did so I could get closer to your sister.
- For the record, Katy Perry's real name is Katheryn Hudson.
- For the record, I was out of town when those crimes took place in our neighborhood.

What's the difference between airplane and aeroplane?

They're the same word. We Americans spell it as "airplane"; people who use British English spell it as "aeroplane."

he told me? he tolds me?

January 20, 2015

"He told me" can be right. ("Told" is the past tense of "tell.")

---

"He tells me" can also be right. ("Tells" is the singular present tense of "tell.")

---

"He tolds me" is always wrong. ("Tolds" is not a valid word.)

Read many good books and imitate good writing. Study grammar rules, especially the tricky ones such as subject-verb agreement, verb tenses, and usage.

What does 'etc' means?

"Etc." (et cetera) is used at the end of a list to indicate that further, similar items are included. For example, "I am going to the store to buy soap, shampoo, lotion, etc."

But there are some sentence like, "You are a total stranger" "You are totally stranger"

January 20, 2015

Yes, "You are a total stranger" is a legitimate sentence. It means "I don't know you at all."

---

"You are totally stranger" is awkward, unless you're saying that someone is completely stranger than something or someone else. But even then, you need "You are totally stranger (than x)."

If it's in the past, "It tasted like orange" (e.g., "From what I remember, it tasted like orange"); if it still applies to today, then "It tastes like orange" (e.g., "I love that soda: it tastes like orange").

How to speak english confidence without too many "eh" "a...." ?

January 20, 2015

Practice. Practice. Practice.

Also, to gain confidence at first, use simple words and simple sentence structures. And speak slowly. Once you gain confidence, use bigger words and more complicated sentence structures.

Can you explain this? "Mun's got a new car" why is there 's there? Thank you!

January 20, 2015

"Mun's" = Mun is/has OR belongs to Mun, so that sentence is saying "Mun has got a new car."

---

For example, "Jo's eaten too much food" means "Jo has eaten too much food." "She's lost control of her appetite" means "She has lost control of her appetite."
