what is the difference between home and house

September 25, 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, etc.: "I can't wait to go home to my apartment in New York." ("Home" can also be used to mean "family": "She comes from a broken home.")

When usually we used either...or and neither... nor?

September 25, 2015

We use EITHER ... OR when we want to refer to a choice between two possibilities:

- Nan feels like eating EITHER tacos OR ramen for lunch.
- Henry will EITHER wash his car OR write 100 test questions today.
- Peter will be EITHER surfing OR swimming when we see him later this afternoon.

We use NEITHER ... NOR when we want to say that two or more things are NOT true:

- NEITHER Henry NOR Peter feels like going to the gym today.
- We like NEITHER to study NOR to write papers on such a beautiful day.
- Nan wants to watch NEITHER the movies on Netflix NOR the videos on YouTube.

anyway or anyways?

September 25, 2015

"Anyways" is informal, so don't use it in essays or other formal writing. "Anyway" is the standard form.

Hello. What's difference between "to raise" and "to rise"? Thanks.

September 25, 2015

"Raise" requires someone or something else to do the action and it must be followed by a direct object:

- I RAISED my grades.
- Please RAISE your arm.

"Rise" is done without the action of someone or something else and must not be followed by a direct object:

- I RISE each morning at 5 am.
- Did the dough RISE?
- I will RISE my grades. → ❌
- The sun will RISE the temperature. → ❌

Whats is the different of envy and jealous?

September 25, 2015

"Envy" is a noun; "jealous" is an adjective. If you're asking about the difference between "envious" and "jealous," "envious" means "wanting something that someone else has." "Jealous" means "afraid of losing what you have to someone else." HOWEVER, so many people use "jealous" like "envious" that they have become synonyms now.

Which of these is correct? "It brings back memories" and "It brought back memories" ?

September 24, 2015

They're both correct. "It brings back ..." is the present tense; "It brought back ..." is the past tense.

Nan: Look at this picture.
Henry: Ooh, it brings back memories.

Nan: Did you get the picture I sent you yesterday?
Henry: Yeah, it brought back memories.

Parent or Parents? Still confuse. Thanks! :)

September 23, 2015

"Parent" is for ONE parent (either your mom or your dad). "Parents" is plural.

- Which PARENT do you like better?
- Is she your PARENT? (Is she your mom?)
- My PARENTS are out of town. (Both my mom and dad are out of town.)
- Both of my PARENTS are doctors.

"You don't need to worry ABOUT HER." After prepositions (to, for, with, by, in, on, from, beside, ABOUT, etc.), use the object pronoun form (me, him, her, us, them).

How about girlfriend and girl friend? Which one is friend and which one is more than friend? Thankssss 😅

September 23, 2015

If you're a guy, "girlfriend" = the girl I'm dating; "girl friend" = a girl who is my friend. If you're a girl, "girlfriend" can be both, so you might need to use a different term for clarity, e.g., lover.

Define paradox :)

September 23, 2015

Many people misunderstand what a "paradox" is, and so do many websites that try to explain it. Here's one of the best, most detailed explanations we've found: http://www.literarydevices.com/paradox

That page has two of our favorite examples of paradoxical quotes:

1. “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.” - Gandhi
2. “It’s weird not to be weird.” - John Lennon

Why did Britney Spears use "everytime"? She is from the US, right? Doesn't she know about this?

September 23, 2015

Most singers/songwriters do not care about grammar, and it's not their job to care. They aren't teachers; they're entertainers. We admins never get upset when our favorite singers, athletes, or actors use improper grammar or spelling—because that's not the reason why we admire them. ✌️

"This is the part where I…" or "This is the part when I..."? What's the difference?

September 23, 2015

Generally, "where" is used with locations, places, and sources. "When" is used with a time, moment, or situation. But since "part" can be used for both, there would be no difference between "This is the part where/when I ..." Moreover, that sentence structure is not really formal English anyway, so it really doesn't matter which one you use; the person who reads/hears it will know what you're trying to say.

Will you please explain what a paraphrase is in simpler words?

September 23, 2015

To paraphrase something is to say it in other, simpler words. Let's pretend that someone said, "I am currently experiencing pangs from not having consumed comestibles this morning." One way to paraphrase that longwinded expression is "I am hungry because I didn't eat breakfast today."

whats the difference between beside and besides, and include and including? thanks in advance!

September 23, 2015

For "beside" vs. "besides," look at the picture.

"Include" is a verb: "The price INCLUDES tax and shipping." "Including" is a preposition that means "containing as part of the whole being considered": "The price covers everything, INCLUDING tax and shipping."

Goodnight or good night?

September 23, 2015

As a greeting to someone who's about to go to sleep, we generally use "Goodnight": "Goodnight. Sweet dreams." 😴

"Good night" is how we would describe a pleasant evening: "Tonight was a good night." "Good night" is also like "goodbye" but at night: "Bye. It was good seeing you. Good night." It's like saying "Have a good night."
