How to use tries cries etc. "she/he tries" "someome tries" is it correct

January 10, 2015

If the sentence is in the present tense, then yes: She tries, he tries, and someone tries are all correct.

---

In the past tense, they would be she tried, he tried, and someone tried.

Want to make more friends? Try this: Tell us what you like and find people with the same interests. Try this:

#indie #shopping #electronicmusic #pop #football #books #party #fashion

+ add more interests + add your interests

(1) "She is coming 'toward/towards' my direction" and (2) "I don't have any feelings toward/towards you", for those sentences, should I use 'toward' or 'towards' and why? It confuses me a little bit. And is there something wrong (grammatically) with my English? Thank you!

January 10, 2015

"Toward" (American spelling) = "towards" (British spelling). They are the same word and have the same meanings. They are simply spelled (spelt) differently, depending on where you live.

hi can you tell me how do we use the word 'yet'? thankyou btw did my question is correct?

January 10, 2015

Q: "Can you tell me how to use the word 'yet'?"

---

For time:

---

- Jo hasn't arrived yet. She must be stuck in traffic.
- It's not my birthday yet, so don't plan a party.

---

For contrast:

---

- Jo is sick, and yet she will go outside and run.
- We are losing, yet we have not given up hope!

Jo: Take care. Me: You, too. Take care. Do I need to use the comma?

January 09, 2015

In really short sentences such as that, the comma is optional (but not wrong).

January 09, 2015

Yeah. "What's up?" basically means "What's going on?" or "Hey." It's also a common greeting among friends.

Which one is correct: A. 15 person died because of that accident B. 15 persons died because of that accident C. 15 people died because of that accident Thank you for answering!

January 08, 2015

Both (B) and (C) are correct. (A) is definitely wrong; "person" is singular. You need to use "persons" or "people."

---

Also, since "15" is the first word of the sentence, you should spell it out: "Fifteen ...."

Most of you guys probably use British English. In terms of grammar, there aren't many differences between American and British English; the biggest differences are in spelling.
