hey is it goodnight or good night? im so confused! and tell Jo I said hello ;)

August 28, 2014

Jo says hi. ;-)

---

If you're saying it to someone before he or she goes to sleep, both are right: *Goodnight*, Jo. = *Good night*, Jo.

---

But if you're describing a night, only "good night" would be right: I had a *good night* yesterday after I finished my essay.

How do you use these words; worth it, worthed, and worthy? Which one is correct? 1. He's not worth it, you deserve better 2. He's not worthy, you deserve better 3. He's not worthed, you deserve better

August 28, 2014

"Worthed" is always wrong, so avoid that.

As for the other words, we did a post on it a while ago: http://tmblr.co/Z90tLy1HQvvmB

is this sentence correct : what's famous people's famous last words?

August 27, 2014

"What are some famous people's famous last words?" or "What are some famous last words of famous people?"

---

It is a bit repetitive to use "famous" twice, but if you take one out, you change the meaning of the question. For instance, if you ask "What are some famous last words?" you might get some famous last words from obscure people.

based on the song Thousand years, sorry im confused is this right, I have died everyday waiting for you? or I've been dying everyday is also correct

August 27, 2014

"I have died every day" suggests that I died each day and somehow came back to life and died again the next day and then came back to life and died again, etc.

---

"I've been dying every day" suggests that I have been slowly dying (little by little) each day.

---

The second sentence makes much more sense, but it's a song, so who knows what the songwriter actually meant?

Which one is right, 'made promises' or 'make promises'?

Roby Chayadi

August 27, 2014

They can both be right; it depends on what tense you're trying to use.

---

"Made promises" → past tense: You made promises to quit smoking and to exercise more, remember?

---

"Make promises" → present tense: Don't make promises you can't keep.
