I still get confused with 'barely'. what does it mean? and how to use it in sentence

March 21, 2016

"Barely" means only just, almost not, scarcely. Here are some examples:

---

- Peter barely finished the level before time ran out. (He almost didn't finish in time.)
- They had barely enough cash to pay for the meal. (They almost didn't have enough cash.)
- Because it was so noisy, I could barely hear the teacher.

---

"Barely" can also mean in a sparse way, e.g., The hotel had a barely furnished room available for $50 a night. (The room was almost empty.)

if there is "Dr. Thomas", is it necessary "Thomas" will be surname? Or it can be just name? :(

March 21, 2016

Although Thomas can be his first name, it is more likely his surname, e.g., Dr. Smith (Smith is the surname), Mr. Jones (Jones is the surname). Dr. Thomas is confusing because Thomas is a common first name and surname.

"she says something before he EATS the cake" or "she says something before he EAT the cake"?

March 16, 2016

"Eats." In the present tense, "eats" goes with he, she, it, and singular nouns, i.e., "he eats." The only exception is in the subjunctive mood. You can read about that toward the end of this article: http://bit.ly/1Wr4Wtm

Know (present tense for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns) → knew (past tense) → known (past participle, i.e., used with "has," have," and "had").

"Known" is also an adjective that means "famous" or "recognized": Coca-Cola is a known brand throughout the world.
