"I want to educate people so that they can make as informed a decision they can" What does "as informed" mean?

November 03, 2015

It means "having or showing knowledge"; in other words, if you're making an informed decision, you are doing so after a lot of research, studying, or learning. (You are not making a decision after watching a 30-second commercial on TV, for example.)

If my friend asks me 'is something on my mind' Should i answer it no or nothing?

November 03, 2015

You should answer either Yes or No. (You could also answer, "No, nothing is on my mind.")

which one is correct, ' you inspired me a lot ' or ' you inspires me '. i saw a lot of people use the first one.

November 03, 2015

It definitely CANNOT be the second one. "You inspire me" or "You inspired me" are OK (depending on what tense you want to use), but "you" and "inspires" can never go together.

- The store closes TOO early.

---

ENOUGH is used to mean sufficient:

what does "off the record" means?

November 02, 2015

It means "not made as an official or attributable statement." In other words, it means "don't write what I'm about to say." For example, "The mayor told the reporter that his remarks were strictly off the record."

I saw from John Legend's post/caption this "we're pregnant" i know that sentence is correct but i wonder how come that sentence is correct if only his wife is pregnant (carrying the baby)

November 02, 2015

It's a cool way of expressing that he is united with his wife. "She's pregnant" can sound detached, i.e., it's something that applies only to her. "We're pregnant" is like saying "We're in this together."

"Thank you for always BEING there for me" is right. (Similarly, "Thank you for always TAKING care of me" is right, while "Thank you for always TOOK care of me" is wrong.)

November 02, 2015

"I had have" is never correct in any circumstance. "I'd have" = I would have. But "I'd have" sounds weird; we recommend using "would have" instead of contracting it.

You are better than I or You are better than me?

November 02, 2015

Technically, "You are better than I" is correct. It is saying "You are better than I (am)." On exams, that would be the correct answer.

But in spoken English and in everyday usage, "You are better than me" is also fine. ("You are better than I" sounds really formal.)

hey guys! can you explain to me about future present progressive tense? thank you!

November 02, 2015

The FUTURE PROGRESSIVE TENSE indicates continuing action, something that will be happening, going on, at some point in the future.

---

This tense is formed with "will" plus "be," plus the verb in an -ing ending:

---

- I WILL BE GOING to the library later today.
- She WILL BE TAKING a nap after lunch.
- They WILL BE ATTENDING the seminar.

What is the meaning “biggest turn off” ?

October 28, 2015

A "turn-off" can mean "a person or thing that causes someone to feel bored, disgusted, or sexually repelled." For example, smoking is a big turn-off to many people. We have several friends who won't date anyone who smokes. 🚬

After "looking forward to," we put a NOUN or a GERUND:

---

- I am looking forward to THE PARTY. (noun) 🎉
- I am looking forward to MEETING (gerund) you.
- I am looking forward to NEXT WEEK. (noun)
- I am looking forward to SPENDING (gerund) a summer in Europe. 🇪🇺

“Ain’t” ain’t appropriate in formal writing, so NEVER use it in essays or important emails. NEVER use it during an interview. (Look at the picture for what AIN'T means and how to use it.)

"do you know what is the best way to grow a beard?" or "do you know what the best way to grow a beard is?" Which one is correct and why?

October 28, 2015

The latter. After "Do you know" (which is already a question stem), we don't put another question stem, such as "What is the best way." Similarly, "Do you know what my name is?" > "Do you know what is my name?"

---

You can actually avoid the whole situation by asking "Do you know the best way to grow a beard?" Similarly, "Do you know my name?"

It's an informal way to say "to identify." For example, if you pegged (identified) Peter as a mean guy, you would have pegged him all wrong, because he's actually a really nice guy.
