I still confused. Is "have been" always followed by V-ing? But sometimes there's have been+V3. Could u explain to me what the difference is, please. Tq.
"Have been" should be followed by either an -ing verb, an adjective, or a noun:- I have been sleeping. (-ing verb) - They have been sick for a week. (adjective: sick) - We have been friends. (noun)
why does SHE is paired up with HAVE ? i dont get it sorry :O
It's not because of "she"; it's because "She is lucky" + "to has" is wrong. It has to be "She is lucky" + "to have" (the infinitive). Here are some more examples:- I am happy TO BE here. - She is honored TO WIN this prize. - They are glad TO ANSWER questions.
I'm just confused with the word 'to' and 'with'. How to use these words?
"To" indicates direction or identification: I am going TO your house. Yes, I am talking TO you."With" means "accompanied by" or "having something": I went WITH her TO your house. We had our dog WITH us.
In your opinion, Why the non-black people cant use the N-Word? Is that word offensive and pejorative even though you don't have any intent to offend black people?
The N-word has been used for centuries to put down, oppress, mock, and belittle an entire group of people. It is one of the most offensive words in American English. We have very good friends who are African-Americans, and even though we are very close to them, we would never use that word (even in a joking or friendly way).
Hi there ^^
"Im not finish yet" or "I didnt finished yet?"
And after "didn't" should we use the root word?
Eg: "I didnt say it was wrong" or "I didn't said it was wrong"
Confusing :(
Thanks in advance (:
Say i'm talking about a dead person and how we had the same likes. Would I say we both liked sweets or we both like sweets?
Either one is fine, but we prefer using the present tense: it makes the deceased feel closer (and forever alive in our hearts).
"one day i would like to quietly seep out into the shadows of the cities and wonders in the world" any wrong?
Wow. Nice sentence!
Hello, i just wanna say you are awesome and thank you for existing :)

I know English bad. Please, say me some literature books, which can help me to study English better. P S I'm not from America or England. I'm from Asia.
Me, you, him, her, us, them are all object pronouns. That means things are done to, for, at, with, by those people/things or they are receiving the actions.I, you, he, she, we, they are all subject pronouns. That means they are doing the actions.Here's an article that explains this: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1TKruBh
is this correct? "a bit late for being posted"
"... a bit late to be posted" is better, but "It's a bit too late to post (x)" is even better.
