Hi!! can u tell me difference between 'they' ,' them' and 'their' hmm

January 23, 2016

"They" is a subject pronoun, which means that "they" are performing an action:

- They talk too much in class.
- They are my best friends.
- They went to the store to buy groceries.

"Them" is an object pronoun, which means that they are receiving an action:

- I gave my pencils to them.
- She took them to the playground.
- Why did give them my phone number?

"Their" is a possessive pronoun, which means something belongs to them:

- The teacher confiscated their iPhones.
- Their excellent report earned them high marks.
- We found their secret hideout.

heyy please tell me the difference between 'a' and 'an' hmm

January 19, 2016

We use "a" for words that start with consonant sounds:

- He is a doctor.
- I heard a strange noise coming from the basement.
- Do you have a pencil I can borrow?

We use "an" for words that start with vowel sounds:

- She is eating an orange.
- Why is there an umbrella on top of my car? ☂️
- I saw an elephant at the zoo. 🐘

Be careful with words that begin with "h": if the "h" is pronounced, we use "a"; if the "h" is silent, we use "an":

- My sister is a history professor.
- It is an honor to meet you.
- She wants me to buy her a horse.
- How many seconds are there in an hour?

Also, words that begin with "o" and "u" are tricky. If a u-word begins with a "yoo" sound, we use "a"; if it begins with an "uh" sound, we use "an":

- She graduated from a university in California.
- He wrote an unbelievably good essay.
- Love is a universal language.
- The company designed an ugly uniform for the football team.

O-words that begin with a "won" sound require "a":

- This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
- They are a one-man team.

O-words that begin with an "oh" or "awe" sound require "an":

- An octopus has eight tentacles. 🐙
- An orangutan broke out of the zoo.
- She is an organized student.

what is the mean when someone says "You wish"

January 19, 2016

When people say "You wish" (without adding any other words), they're saying the same thing as "Yeah, right," which basically means "That will never happen."

Nan: Are you going to buy me a Ferrari for my birthday?
Henry: You wish. 😂

Why youtubers use "my boyfriend DOES my make up" ? Why not use did, or was doing, or something else? Please explain and thank you 💖

January 19, 2016

"My boyfriend does my makeup" means that he does it all the time. Similarly, "Who does your hair?" = "To which stylist or salon do you go to get your hair done?" 💇As you can see, "does" is often used with makeup, hair, and nails ("Who does your nails?"), i.e., activities that require regular maintenance.

"Slump off" is not a common expression. Take a look at what "slump" means and maybe you'll be able to figure out what "slump off" means from wherever you heard or saw it.

A friend of yours or your friend?

Theresia Retno Adiningtyas

January 19, 2016

They mean the same thing. (Similarly, "my friend" = "a friend of mine.") Although they have the same thing, they aren't used in the same way. For example, "My cousin is taller than your friend" is right; "My cousin is taller than a friend of yours" is awkward and wrong. One way to correctly use "a friend of yours" is this: "Is he a friend of yours?" ("Is he your friend?")

historical teacher or historic teacher ?? which one is right to describe a teacher who teaches the history subject ?

January 19, 2016

Neither. A teacher who teaches history is simply a "history teacher." Similarly, we have "chemistry teacher," "economics teacher," and so on.

A "historical teacher" is a teacher who belongs to the past. A "historic teacher" is an incredibly important teacher in history, e.g., Anne Sullivan, Maria Montessori.

Is it okay to say, "They misinterpret/misunderstood because they know nothing"?

January 19, 2016

Yes. "They know nothing" can describe their general condition/situation. Therefore, it's OK to say "They misunderstood (past tense) because they know (present tense) nothing." That would be similar to "I kicked (past tense) her because I really hate (present tense) her."

"everybody does (his, their) own share of work." can you pls explain why?

January 19, 2016

"Everybody" is singular, so it should be "Everybody does HIS OR HER share of work." That is the correct answer on college-entrance exams (SAT, ACT) in America. However, in essays, many professors and teachers support the singular "they," so "Everybody does their share of work" would also be accepted.

Here is more information on the singular "they": http://on.wsj.com/1Pt9Rbs
