"A university" or "An university?"

November 21, 2014

"A university." Here's why: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1S8L9WL

---

It's also "a unicorn," "a unicycle," "a unibrow," "a unique opportunity," etc. (If a u-word makes a "yoo" sound, we use "a"; if a u-word makes a "uh" sound, we use "an": an umbrella, an underwater camera, an understanding, etc.)

congrats or congrates? please explain! thanks!

November 21, 2014

Congrats!

---

"Congrats" is an abbreviation of "congratulations." There is no "e" in "congratulations," so it makes no sense to abbreviate it as "congrates." Also, "congrates" would be pronunced [kuhn-GREYTS], which is terrible.

Difference between, "I should finish this." and "I shall finish this." ? I'm quite confused because should is a past tense. But lots of people use it in present tense. Or am I wrong?

November 21, 2014

"I should finish this" is like "I should eat vegetables": it suggests a benefit or a requirement.

---

"I shall finish this" is like "I will finish this": it expresses something like a promise or a definite declaration.

Is 'human' a plural or a singular?

November 21, 2014

"Human" is singular. "Humans" is plural.

Keep in mind that "human" is also an adjective: the human body, human error, etc.

November 21, 2014

Either:

- I'd have cried if I were you. = I WOULD have cried if I were you.
- I knew right away that I'd won the match. = I knew right away that I HAD won the match.
- She knew I'd eat the last doughnut, so she hid it. = She knew I WOULD eat the last doughnut, so she hid it.
- Would you have laughed if I'd told you a joke? = Would you have laugh if I HAD told you a joke?

Which is correct? "There is many" or "There are many" ??

November 21, 2014

We use "many" for things that can be counted: chairs, dogs, doughnuts, cups, etc. Therefore, it should be "There are many":

---

- There are many cups on the table.
- There are many dogs at the park.
- There are many doughnuts on the plate.

---

We use "much" for things that cannot be counted: air, stress, pressure, anger, etc.

i just want to ask how to use the word 'tho'???

Bells

November 21, 2014

"Tho" is an informal abbreviation of "though." You should never use it in essays or assignments for school.

---

Jo: Let's go home!
Me: I'm hungry tho.

---

Jo: That doughnut costs too much.
Me: It looks delicious tho. Let's get it.

---

Again, do not use it in formal writing.

For time:

To mean "nevertheless":

- I have so much work to do, yet I'm going to take a nap first.
- We were lost at first, yet we eventually found our way.
- We are so close, yet so far.

the best thing i ever had or the best ive ever had?

November 19, 2014

Both have become idiomatic expressions, so they're both considered correct.

---

If you want to get really technical, "the best I've ever had" suggests "the best I've ever had (until now)."

"You are my mvp" what does it mean?

November 19, 2014

"MVP" stands for "Most Valuable Player," and its origin is from sports. However, in everyday usage, the "P" is often changed to "person," "professor," or some other noun that starts with "p."

---

You would call someone your MVP if that person was very special, important, or talented.

I had been well for the past few days or i have been well for the few days?

November 19, 2014

"I had been well for the past few days" = I was well—but I am not well now.

---

"I have been well for the past few days" = I was well—and still am.

They're both grammatically correct, but as you can see, they mean different things.
