"whats up to?" means?

January 07, 2015

You probably mean "What's (someone) up to?" For example,

---

- What's Jo up to?
- What's that guy up to?
- What's he up to these days?

---

It means something like "How's (someone) doing?" or "What is (someone) doing?"

"I don't want nobody" or "i don't want anybody" ?

"I don't want anybody" is correct.

"I don't want nobody" is a double negative.

How if 'i can literally feel my heart is aching'? What it means?

January 07, 2015

It means that you can really feel that your heart is hurting. (You might be having a heart attack or chest pains.)

---

If you're trying to say that you're sad, don't use "literally": "My heart is aching."

hey, after the word "to" do we use verb 1 or verb+ing? Like which one is correct, to work or to working? Thank you!

January 07, 2015

Normally, we use the infinitive:

---

- I like to work.
- Jo is going to study.
- To sleep is better than to write an essay.

---

However, we can also use -ing, especially with "prone to." But those -ing words are gerunds (nouns), not verbs.

---

- Jo is prone to sneezing when she works in the garden.
- The fragile figurines are prone to breaking if you ship them by FedEx.

"How many 10 ¢ coins has Edgar?" -- X "How many 10 ¢ coins does Edgar has?" -- ✓ Right?

January 07, 2015

No. The other way around.

---

"How many dimes has Edgar?" is awkward but correct. The better way to say it is "How many dimes does Edgar HAVE?" (After DO, DOES, DID, and DIDN't, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb; in this case, it would be "have.")

My friend, Buddy, has a Ph.D in physics. Should the word "physics" in the sentence be capitalised?

January 07, 2015

We capitalize "physics" if it's part of the official name of a course or class:

---

- Jo is enrolled in Physics 7A this quarter.
- What did you get on your Physics 101 exam?

---

Otherwise, we use lower-case "physics":

---

- Jo is taking courses in physics, chemistry, and mathematics.

What's the difference between died and dead? Is it true if the word dead is a noun? as in Walking Dead

snapchat: dickdutz

January 06, 2015

"Died" is the past tense of "die": Jo's dog died two weeks ago.

---

"Dead" is almost always used as an adjective: Jo buried her dead dog in a pet cemetery.

---

However, "dead" can also be used as a noun (often as "the dead") that means "those who have died." The walking dead are dead people who are walking, i.e., zombies.
