"Right after i woke up" or "right after i wake up" ??? Whats the right sentence. Thank you!

October 28, 2015

It depends on what tense the rest of the sentence is in:

- Right after I WOKE (past) up, I BRUSHED (past) my teeth. ✔
- Right after I WAKE (present) up, I BRUSH (present) my teeth. ✔

How would I know/knew the answer? Know or knew?

October 28, 2015

"How would I KNOW the answer?" is right. After WOULD, WILL, WOULND'T, and WON'T, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:

- I WILL WIN (not "won") tomorrow's match.
- WOULD she MARRY (not "married" or "marries") him if he proposed?
- She WOULDN'T TELL (not "told" or "tells") me the answer.

Is "the government" plural or singular?

October 28, 2015

In American English, it's always SINGULAR, and we would refer to "the government" as "it." In British English, it can be either, and "the government" can be referred to as "it" or "they."

'I'm looking forward to...' or 'I'm looking forward for...'?

October 26, 2015

"I'm looking forward TO ..." is right: I'm looking forward to Halloween. 👻🎃

If John is the son of Jane, Jane is the _______ of John's mother. (Fill in the blank with one word only) Thank you (^-^)

October 26, 2015

EDIT: As someone correctly pointed out, "name" would work in that blank, i.e., "Jane is the NAME of John's mother."

This was our original response: If John is Jane's son, then Jane is John's mother. It's a terrible way to write or talk, but if we had to put one word in there, it would probably be "equivalent."

what is the meaning of "kinda"?

October 26, 2015

It's slang for "kind of" (a bit, somewhat, relatively):

- That movie is kinda boring.
- In my opinion, her essay kinda sucks.
- I'm kinda busy right now, so don't bother me.

Hi theYUNIversity! Do you know what kind of english does Malaysian usually use/practice/learn? Is it american or british? Thank you!

October 26, 2015

We've seen our Malaysian Twitter friends tweet "practise" and "colour" before, which tells us that they use British English. That makes sense, since most Asian countries use British English. (By "British English," we mean British spelling.)

Can you explain me about this? "In American English, the order of large numbers is thousand, million, billion, trillion, etc. (1,000; 1,000,000; 1,000,000,000; 1,000,000,000,000; etc.) In American English a thousand million is abillion, but in British English, a thousand million is amilliard"

October 26, 2015

"Milliard" 🇬🇧 is a word that we Americans don't use. We use "billion" for 1,000,000,000. In British English, "milliard" is another word for "billion." ("Billion" is used MUCH more commonly.)

which one is correct? "eyes are never lying" or "eyes never lie"? thank youuu

October 26, 2015

They're both grammatically correct, but we've never heard anyone say "Eyes are never lying." However, "Eyes never lie" is a fairly common expression, e.g., "Your eyes never lie" = "I can tell what you're really thinking by looking at/into your eyes." 👀

why do you love kpop? 😄😄

October 26, 2015

Here is the answer from our FAQ page:

"We love G-DRAGON. He is our muse. Just read our terse Twitter bio.

We also love K-pop. We love the energy, colorful characters, loyal fandoms, and of course, the music. For instance, Henry's brainwaves are at their peak while listening to "Tonight" (BIGBANG), "Sorry Sorry" (Super Junior), and "Overdose" (EXO)—for whatever reason. If he really needs to get some writing done, he puts those three songs on repeat. (Peter and Nan prefer silence when they work.)"
