if you read this or if you reading this?

December 11, 2015

"If you read this" is right. For example, "If you read this book, you will learn about my grandparents' struggles during the 1950s."

How about if the name of the person ends with an "S". Is it Jonas's car or Jonas' car??

December 11, 2015

They're both right. It's a matter of preference. Nan prefers Jonas'; Henry prefers Jonas's; Peter uses both.

Don't force me to liked you..is this correct?

December 11, 2015

"Don't force me TO LIKE you" is right. Similarly, it should be "Don't force me TO EAT this" or "Don't force me TO TELL you the answer." In all of those examples, we need to use the infinitive (to + verb).

what does 7/24 means??

December 11, 2015

You probably meant to say "24/7." "24/7" is slang; it means "24 hours a day, 7 days a week." In other words, it means "all the time."

For example, "During summer vacation, Nan's nephew plays video games 24/7." 🎮👦🏻

"By far" = by a great amount. "So far" = up to this point in time. As you can see, they are quite different.

---

- You always MAKE (not "makes") me smile.
- You DANCE (not "dances") so well!
- You ARE (not "is") my best friend.
- You BELIEVE (not "believes") me, right?

Whats the difference between ('s) apostrophe and (s') apostrophe

December 08, 2015

We use ('s) for singular nouns and plural nouns that don't end in -s:

---

- My sister's cat
- Today's weather
- The children's parents
- The geese's feathers

---

We use (s') for plural nouns that end in -s:

---

- Three boys' toys
- Six cars' engines
- Five books' authors

---

The other primary usage of ('s) is as a contraction of "is": She's sick. It's cold. That's mine.

whats the difference between will and would? can you explain how to use it in the sentence?

December 08, 2015

"Will" is a definite statement. It means that something is going to happen in the future:

---

- I WILL wash my car today.
- Nan WILL pay for your coffee.
- Peter WILL finish the book tonight.

---

In conditionals, "will" expresses a definite cause-and-effect relationship:

---

- If you don't study, you WILL fail.
- If you don't go to work, you WILL be fired.

---

For the many ways "would" is used, look at the picture.

---

In conditionals, "would" is used in hypothetical or imaginary situations:

---

- If I owned a horse, I WOULD let you ride it.
- If she ate a poisoned apple, she WOULD die.

---

Lastly, "would" is the past tense of "will."

why does water include on uncountable nouns? but it can be counted as 1 or 2 liters tho. sorry for bad grammar

December 08, 2015

That's because you wouldn't say "I have one water, but you have two waters, and she has three waters." Without changing "water" into a different form (liters, gallons, cups, etc.), "water" is an uncountable noun. Once we change "water" into a countable form, we can have sentences such as these:

---

- He has recycled 500 BOTTLES of water this month.
- The athlete drank six GALLONS of water during his workout.
