what is the difference between house and home ?

October 21, 2015

A "house" is the building where someone lives. (It's different from an apartment because a house is a detached structure.) For example, "Jo's house has three bedrooms and a big yard." 🏡

---

A "home" is the place where someone lives. It can be a house, but it can also be an apartment, a condo, a houseboat, a dorm, etc.: "I can't wait to go home to my apartment in New York." 🏢

what are the different between headstrong and stubborn?

October 21, 2015

They're synonyms. However, the extreme form of "headstrong" can be disobedient and unruly.

I'm just or I just?

October 21, 2015

It depends on what you're trying to say. In the examples you're asking about, "just" can mean "only a short time ago" or "and nothing more":

---

- I'm just going to stay home and sleep today (and nothing more).
- I'm just an honest person telling you how I feel (and nothing more).
- I just got done with my interview. (I got done with my interview only a short time ago.)
- I just woke up. (I woke up only a short time ago.)

what is the meaning "shake it off" ?

October 21, 2015

It means "Don't let it bother you" or "Forget about it."

---

Peter: I can't believe I missed that easy shot. 🏀
Henry: It's OK. Shake it off. You'll get another chance.

---

If you're asking about the Taylor Swift song, she's basically saying that she doesn't let any of the mean things that people say about her bother her. "Shake it off" is an encouragement to have a positive attitude.

Active: Mother buys some vegetables every day. Passive: Some vegetables were bought by mother every day. Is the passive sentence correct? CMIIW

October 21, 2015

Close: "Some vegetables ARE bought by Mother every day." Since the active sentence has "buys" (present tense), the passive sentence should have "are" (present tense).

Please tell me the easy way to know which gerund and which to infinitive.

October 21, 2015

The simplest explanation is this: a gerund is a noun that ends in -ing. An infinitive is "to + verb," and it can be used as the subject of a sentence:

---

- SKIING (gerund) is my favorite sport.
- TO SKI (infinitive) is more fun than TO STUDY.

October 21, 2015

"Are you ready for adventure, son?" is correct. Another way to say that is "Are you ready TO HAVE AN ADVENTURE, son?" (The meaning is slightly different, but it is grammatically correct.)

hi! I have seen your tweet about the different between Thank God and Thanks God. Can you explain it again? thank you so much! x

October 21, 2015

"Thank God!" is what we say when something good happens, or if something bad that you thought was going to happen doesn't happen. For example,

---

Nan: The teacher canceled today's exam.
Henry: Thank God! I was so worried about it.

---

Peter: I found your wallet in my car.
Henry: Thank God! I was scared that I had lost it.

---

"Thanks, God" is what you would say directly to God: "Thanks, God, for this yummy food."

UNLESS is like "if not": Nan will go to the beach UNLESS it rains. (Nan will go to the beach if it doesn't rain.)

EXCEPT shows a difference, exclusion; it means "other than" or "not including": Peter works every day EXCEPT Sunday. (Sunday is the only day when Peter doesn't work; it's the exception.)
