"I dreamt ___ you last night" What should I put in the blank? 'about' or 'of'? Thank you. (;

July 04, 2014

Either one is fine. There really is no difference between the two, even if people try to explain that there is. The phrase has become idioms, so grammar (choosing between the two prepositions—"of" and "about") is irrelevant.

"I didn't lie."

"I didn't lie about anything."

Any of those would work.

which one is correct "we don't have a credit card" or "we don't have credit cards"?

July 01, 2014

It depends on what you're trying to say. If you want to say that you have zero credit cards, the first one is better. The second one can technically mean that you have ONE credit card but not more than that.

---

Another way to say that you have zero credit cards is "We don't have ANY credit cards."

i'm gonna watching the movie : is this correct ? it's means going to watching , 2 verb+ing.

June 30, 2014

Informally, "I'm gonna WATCH the movie" is correct.

---

"I'm gonna BE WATCHING the movie" is also correct, but the meaning is different. It means that at that specific moment, I will be inside the theater watching the movie.

---

Of course, in formal writing, you would replace "gonna" with "going to."
