Which would be correct? I heard this line in a movie just now: It was me who was the only one who lost everything. It does sound natural, and was spoken by a native speaker. But according to grammar, I think it should be: It was I who was the only one who lost everything. And in the present tense, it should be: It is I who am the only one who lost everything.

What movie scenes do you like the most?

For me, I have a lot. For example, I recall the one in Saving Private Ryne that the capitain and Ryne sit together, and Ryne tells his funny memory. I can't tell why, but I just like it. It's like a little bit of light in darkness, or hope in despair.

What about you?

What do you think of learning English grammar?

A few days ago, I began to study English grammar specially in order to reach a higher level of English, but now I wish I hadn't done it. I'm about to describe it as ...terrifying, at least to a guy like me. I mean, I'd like things to be clear and strict, but if it becomes an obsession that you tend to analyze every sentence you meet using the terms and rules in those damn grammar books, it really slows down your throught and reaction and often muddles you. Some rules can be elusive or even wrong. For instance, I read it in one of my books that if a noun which is qualified by an infinitive is also qualified by a ordinal numeral or a superlative adjective at the same time, then the noun is the logical subject of the infinitive. For example, in the sentence "Sam was the first person to arrive", "person" is the logical subject of "to arrive". But then, I met this sentence, "these are the hardest languages to learn." And apparently, "languages" cannot "learn".

Things like this happen constantly. It's like you don't know English as well as you ever did. Now I seem to have realized the reason why I did much better in English than my classmates in school--I didn't give a damn about the grammar thing!

So, in my opinion, it is necessary to learn enough basic rules, but if you're already able to understand most of what you read and hear, you don't need to learn grammer specially. Anyway, it may not help you that much as you might hope. English is a flexible language, thus sometimes it's really not easy to impose some rules on it. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is contact more and practice more.

What do you think on this matter? If you think I'm wrong, do you have any better books to recommend?

Who steals the ball If a game's instructions say "you have to move forward and avoid the rivals to steal the ball", who do you think steals the ball in the game?Does this sentence also carry the same meaning as "You have to move forward and avoid the rivals WHO steal the ball? Actually the sentence I met was "Make your play using the circles to advance, avoiding the rival to steal the ball", which I think is ambiguous.

What's the difference 1) Where did you get this? 2) Where did you get this from?

想问下学汉语的人，你们学不学语法？

只是出于好奇……作为中国人，我根本不知道汉语语法具体是什么样的，学校里只为改病句题讲过一点点。汉语和欧洲语言比非常自由松散，我觉得很难归纳出语法规则，即使勉强归纳出来，也将是纷繁复杂让人看到就头疼的……
