what does 'open-ended problem' term means?
It refers to a problem that requires more than a one-word answer. A close-ended question is something like this: "What's your dad's name?" (The answer might be "John," "David," "James," etc.) An open-ended question, on the other hand, would look something like this: "What is your favorite memory from childhood?" or "How did you and your best friend meet?" To those questions, you can't give just a one-word answer.

theres a guitarist, pianist, racist, vocalist theres also a drummer, fighter, dancer how do you know which uses "er" and which uses "ist"?
If the original word is a noun (e.g., guitar, piano, race, vocals), we add -ist. If the original word is a verb (e.g., to drum, to fight, to dance), we add -er. Since we're talking about English, there are bound to be exceptions (e.g., gamer, typist, astronomer), but this is the general rule.

What is the difference between "pass away" & "pass on" ? Do these words get the same meaning ?!!
"Pass away" and "pass on" can both be euphemisms (nicer way of saying) for "die." However, "pass on" has other meanings: 1) to deliver or give (Please pass on this note to your sister); 2) to infect with a disease or sickness (I stayed home because I didn't want to pass on my cold to my co-workers); 3) to skip over (The team decided to pass on the promising QB and drafted a DB instead).
hi! what is the meaning of : pissed you off?
"Pissed off" is slang for "angry," so "pissed you off" means "made you angry." For example, "What or who pissed you off the most last year?"

Which is correct? "In the future" or "in future"?
"In the future" is right, e.g., "In the future, there will be flying cars and airplanes that can go underwater."

Nothing is impossible/ impossible is nothing/ nothing that impossible?
"Nothing is impossible" means that anything is possible. "Impossible is nothing" means that impossible means nothing; it has no value or worth; it doesn't exist. That was a marketing slogan used by Adidas and was meant to be motivational.
How about overrated? What's that mean?
"Overrated" means that people think that something/someone is much better than it actually is. For example, if there is a restaurant that always has hundreds of people standing in line and has thousands of excellent reviews on Yelp (but you know that the food isn't that good because you've tried it before), then you would say that the restaurant is overrated. People use "overrated" with athletes, movies, books, songs, video games—basically anything that can be "rated."
Peter: Can you believe he's a 94 on FIFA 16?
Henry: What?! He's so overrated! He should be a 79 at best!

Whats the difference between twice and two times? And how to use it? Thank you! 🙋
They mean the same thing, but they're not always used in the same way.
Here is an example of when they can be used interchangeably: "I failed the exam two times/twice before I passed it."
Here is an example of when they can't: "I won the last TWO TIMES we played each other" is right; "I won the last TWICE we played each other" is wrong. 🙅

What is the difference between buy and purchase?
As verbs, they mean the same thing (but "purchase" is more formal). For example, you would tell someone to "Go buy some potato chips"; you wouldn't say "Go purchase some potato chips."
Also, "buy" is only a verb; "purchase" can also be a noun: "As soon as I made my purchase, I was filled with regret."

What;s the difference between "keep" and "stay"? Should I use "keep strong" or "stay strong"?
In informal use (like on the Internet), they can be used interchangeably. A classic example is the meme "Keep Calm and Carry On." But in formal writing, most teachers and editors support this "rule":
We normally use adjectives after "stay":
- Stay awake.
- Stay silent.
- Stay positive.
- Stay strong.
We use -ing words after "keep":
- Keep smiling.
- Keep reading.
- Keep trying.

i'm actually curious bout beyoncé song "If I Were A Boy". Is it correct or it supposed to be "If I Was A Boy?"
"If I Were a Boy" is correct. By contrast, Justin Bieber's lyrics in "Boyfriend" is wrong: "If I was you boyfriend" should be "If I WERE your boyfriend."

What is the difference between these two sentences? "The letter is delivered." vs. "The letter was delivered.
"The letter is delivered" means that it's always delivered; that's the way it always happens. For example, "The letter is delivered at noon." (The letter is delivered every day at noon). Here's another: "The letter is delivered by a mailman named Jack." (It is always delivered by Jack). It would make more sense to say "Letters (plural) are delivered at noon" instead of "the letter" (which means ONE specific letter).
"The letter was delivered" means that it happened at some time in the past: "The letter was delivered last Tuesday." "The letter was delivered yesterday." 📫
"The letter was delivered" means that it happened at some time in the past: "The letter was delivered last Tuesday." "The letter was delivered yesterday." 📫
When we have to use "life" or "live"?
"Life" is always a noun: "I love my life." "My life is full of drama."
"Live" [liv] is the present tense form for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns: "We live in Los Angeles." "They live in London."
"Live" [lahyv] (rhymes with "five") is an adjective that means "alive" ("I studied live animals at the zoo") or "at the moment a show, concert, or recording is happening or being performed" ("Did you hear MCR's live recording of 'Welcome to the Black Parade'?")

"She can do anything" or "She can does anything" ?
"She can DO anything." After CAN, CAN'T, COULD, COULDN'T, DOES, DOESN'T, DID, DIDN'T, WOULD, WOULDN'T, SHOULD, SHOULDN'T, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:
- Can she SING? (Not "sings")
- Nan doesn't SMOKE. (Not "smokes")
- He shouldn't GO there. (Not "goes")
- Can she SING? (Not "sings")
- Nan doesn't SMOKE. (Not "smokes")
- He shouldn't GO there. (Not "goes")
the story has written / the story was written / the story has been written? please help i've no idea..ㅠㅠ
"The story has written" means that the story is the writer. (This makes the least sense.)
"The story was written" means that the story was finished at some time in the past. It could have been a week ago, ten years ago, etc. It would normally be followed by a date, place, time, e.g., "The story was written in 1957 by my grandfather."
"The story has been written" means that the story was finished, but the emphasis is not on the time when it was written; it's on the fact that it's done. It should NEVER be followed by a date or a time; instead, it should be followed by something like "by numerous authors" or "before."

what is the difference between past tense and past participle?
The past tense expresses an action or situation that happened in the past. The past participle is the form of the verb that follows has/have/had in present perfect and past perfect tenses. Your question is probably about regular and irregular verbs. With regular verbs, the simple past tense form and the past participle are the same: STUDY (present) → STUDIED (past) → Has/have/had STUDIED (past participle). But with irregular verbs, they are different: EAT (present) → ATE (past) → Has/have/had EATEN (past participle). Take a look at the chart to see how some of the most common irregular verbs are conjugated.
