"Thought" and "though" . What's the differences ? Help me please 😐

December 16, 2015

THOUGHT = (n.) idea; (v.) past tense of "think."

THOUGH = although; even though; however.

"THOUGH you THOUGHT that my THOUGHTS were worthless, the publishing company wants me to write a book about my ideas."

How do we use has/have/had ? "We had our lunch already." Is this sentence correct?

December 14, 2015

1. Your sentence is correct.

2. Here is how to use has/have/had:

Has → present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns:

- Peter has a black car.
- Nan has a lot of clothes.
- Henry has a lot of shoes.

Have → present tense for I, you, we, they, and plural nouns:

- I have to study now.
- They have violin practice at noon. 🎻🕛

Had → past tense:

- Peter had no appointments yesterday, so he went to the cafe and relaxed. ☕️
- Nan had to get a shot from the doctor yesterday. 💉
- Chewie and Henry had fun at the beach on Saturday.

"justin have done through the worst or "justin has done through the worst ?

December 14, 2015

"Justin" is singular, so it should be "has." But your sentence is awkward. It should probably be something like "Justin has done the worst job of all the students in the class."

"He feels content" "He is contented" which one is correct ?

December 14, 2015

They would both be right, since "contented" is an acceptable variant of "content." (We personally never use "contented"; it looks and sounds awkward.)

he's always close to me or he always.... ? before "always" we have to put "to be" or no? may you explain it to me?^^

You don't need "to be" before "always."

- She always prays before she eats.
- He is always late.
- My brother always blames me when he can't find something.
- The restaurant is always crowded.

hes always close to me or he always before always we have to put to be or no

when should I say years old and year old?

December 14, 2015

We use "x-year-old" (with hyphens and singular "year") as an adjective or a noun:

- She is a six-year-old (adj.) genius.
- I have a nine-year-old (adj.) dog.
- My three-year-old (noun) has been sick all week.

Here is how to use "years old" with the above examples:

- The ingenious girl is six years old.
- My dog is nine years old.
- My child, who is three years old, has been sick all week.

what is the meaning of "nothing to lose" ?

December 14, 2015

If you have NOTHING TO LOSE, you can try something because even if you fail, it will not make your situation any worse; however, you might gain something good out of it. For example,

- Why don't you apply to Harvard University? You already got accepted into five great schools, so you have NOTHING TO LOSE.

I have a question, she becomes emotional or she's become emotional?

December 14, 2015

"She becomes emotional" = She turns into an emotional person (when something happens). For example, "She becomes emotional whenever we talk about her pet dog, which died on her birthday."

"She's become emotional" = She has become emotional (and it happened very recently). For example, "Don't go into my sister's room; she's become emotional because her boyfriend just broke up with her."

hi team, what's the difference between "house" and "home"? and when or where to use it? sorry for bad grammars, thankyou

December 14, 2015

Generally, "house" refers to the building. In America, a "house" is a family building that is detached and separate. 🏡

A "home" is where someone (or a family) lives. A home can be a house, an apartment, a boat, a car, a hotel, etc. A "home" can also be used to mean "family," e.g., I come from a dysfunctional home.

Lastly, "house" can also mean a "law-making group," e.g., the House of Representatives, the House of Commons, the House of Lords, etc., or a "dynasty," e.g., the House of Montague, House Targaryen, etc.
