Help(please)
Hi, therCould you please help me?
1) Do you say "The first/last time I've been here/there" or "The first/last time I was/went here/there" and "This is the first time I can/was/have been here"? The first time I was there /The last time I was there...This is the first time I have been here.
2) Do you study, get, earn, do or pursue a degree/major? Would you say "Should I get/pursue/do/earn/study my degree by distance(learning) or on-site education?" And "Can I do/get/pursue/earn/study two degrees at the same time?
You earn your degree however before graduation you are pursuing your degree IN (major)
"Should I get my degree by distance learning or study on campus?"
"Can I pursue/earn/study two degrees at the same time ?"
And do you say "by distance (learning" and "by on site learning"?
I more often hear 'remote studying' rather than distance learning but it is still acceptable. The opposite of distance learning is studying 'on campus'
Thank you very much
Hi,
1) You can say, 'The first time I was here/ there...' and 'This is the first time I've been here'
2) You can 'do/ pursue' a degree, although 'doing a degree' is probably the most common in England. You 'study for a degree' rather than studying a degree, and getting/ earning a degree would be more commonly used when the degree has been finished.
You would say that you 'study from distance' or that you 'study on site'.
Finally, you can ask, 'Can I do/pursue/ two degrees at the same time?' or 'Can I study for two degrees at the same time?'
I hope that helps!!!
