"The foods is..." or "the foods are..."

April 28, 2016

"Food" and "foods" can be tricky. Read this: https://tmblr.co/Z90tLy250CbM7

---

("The food is" will be used more commonly, e.g., "The food is generally tasty at that restaurant.")

how is the best way (formal) to say "thank you so much for reading this (my letter)"? e.g situation : id like to send a letter to my lecturer.

reynaldi novriansya

April 28, 2016

"Thank you very much for reading my letter" or "Thank you very much for taking the time to read my letter." (Either of those is formal enough; anything more than that would sound insincere or overly flattering.)

'It turns out nicely' is it correct?

April 28, 2016

That phrase is used in the past tense ("It TURNED out nicely"), e.g., "Even though you didn't have all the ingredients, the cake TURNED out nicely." 🎂

What's the different of "Maybe" and "Probably". Thank you :)

April 28, 2016

"Probably" is more likely to happen or be true than "maybe," which just shows that something is possible.

"The clothes are big on you" or "the clothes is big on you" ?

April 28, 2016

"Clothes" is plural, so it should be "The clothes are big on you."

"are you seriously?" or "are you serious?"

April 28, 2016

"Are you serious?" is right by itself.

---

If you want to use "Are you seriously," it has to be followed by an -ing verb ("Are you seriously thinking about moving to Japan?"), noun ("Are you seriously a student?"), or adjective ("Are you seriously sick?").

what does low-key mean ??? how to use it in sentences ??? Clarify. 😎

April 28, 2016

"Low-key" basically means "not flashy" or "not showy," e.g., "She wore a low-key outfit to the ceremony."

---

People often use it nowadays informally as a synonym for "secret," e.g., "Keep it low-key, but my friend cheated on the exam."

---

In formal writing, don't use "low-key" in that sense. Use "discreet" or some other synonym instead.
