how does 'used' work? I used to / I am used to / I was used to? thank you much!
"I used to" = I did, but I no longer do: I used to smoke, but I quit three years ago."I am used to" = I am familiar with, I am acquainted to: Since I live in Norway, I am used to cold weather."I was used to" = I was familiar with, I was acquainted to: I was used to cold weather when I lived in Norway six years ago, but I'm not used to it now in Hawaii.
If you're saying it to someone as a blessing (e.g., after someone sneezes), it's "God bless you."If you're explaining what God does, it's "God blesses you": "God blesses you every day with everything and everyone you need."
idk, my teacher gave me that question (www) can you explain why is it "used" not "is used"?
thx, it really helps my english exam tomorrow :))))
Here's the reason why it's not "the www, is used by millions of people around the globe, is considered a classic design":Since you already have a main verb (is) in "is considered a classic design," you should use an appositive (a noun phrase) to describe what www is. It shouldn't be another verb phrase.Here are some examples:- Jo, a girl, is short and cute. (Not "Jo, is a girl, is short and cute.") - My computer, a 27-inch iMac, runs very well. (Not "My computer, is a 27-inch iMac, runs very well.") - My tweet, the one about G-DRAGON, pleased many VIPs. (Not "My tweet, is the one about G-DRAGON, pleased many VIPs.")
We add "s" to a PRESENT TENSE verb for SINGULAR nouns (except for "I" and "you"):- The student LIKES to sing. - He EATS too much junk food. - Mike ENJOYS watching cartoons. - The car COSTS $95,000.
"The movie will release this up coming 25 december?" is this sentence corret?
"The movie will be released on December 25" or "The movie will be released on Christmas Day."(You would only need to use "upcoming" or "this coming" if it's unclear if you're talking about 2014, 2015, 2016, etc.)
Every after "whenever" or "when", what should be the tense?
Both of these are right:- When I FORGOT (past) my homework yesterday, my teacher became upset. - When I DRINK (present) milk, my stomach makes funny noises.And so are these:- Whenever I BROKE (past) my parents' rules, they would take away my privileges. - Whenever I PLAY (present) with my brother's toys, he screams and throws a tantrum.
"Jo jeopardized her good grades by skipping classes, missing exams, and failing to complete assignments.""She is willing to jeopardize our friendship by flirting on my current boyfriend!"
people who "does" that, or people who "do" that?
"People" is plural, so "people who DO that" is correct.
