    the usage of the subjunctive mood In the following phrase, which is correct, "what you did" or "what you had done" you will behave as if you didn't have to hake responsibility for what you did/had done. Thank you in advance.

    The use of "improve" Does it make sense to say "improve traffic jams" or "improve environmental problems"? Can 'improve' mean 'ease' or 'solve'?

    Which do you like more A or B? I learned the following sentence at school. Which do you like better,cats or dogs? But should the 'better' be replaced with 'more'? How about the answer to the question: I like cats better. I like cats better than dogs.

    Native speakers, why do you use 'better' for the verb 'like'? I like sushi better than tempura. I love sushi more than tempura. I think you usually use 'better' when you say you prefer something to something else. However, you seem to use 'more' with the verb 'love', even though 'like' and 'love' are not very different in meaning. Could anyone tell me why?Thank you. But don't you say: Which do you like better, sushi or tempura? I like sushi better. We learn sentences like these at school.

    それは「といっても」と同じです。 → 学者だからといっても何でも知っているというわけではない 「ても」自体を接続助詞と考えてもよいですが、もともとは接続助詞の「て」と副助詞の「も」が組み合わされたものです。そして、あなたの例文は、副助詞の「も」を使わずに接続助詞の「て」だけで譲歩の意味を表現しています。 → 学者だからといって何でも知っているというわけではない

    It is a matter of notation, not grammar. Of course, your examples are all grammatically correct. Notations like that are called 交ぜ書き (mazegaki), and it is true that some native speakers do not really like them. However, Mario is definitely right. It would never matter if the reader knows that you are a learner. That being said, I would suggest you try to avoid that way as much as you can.

    「日程」と「変更してもらう」は別の文節ですから、どちらにも「お（ご）」を付けても大丈夫です。二重敬語にはなりません。 → ご見学のご日程をご変更いただき、ありがとうございます 「ご変更いただく」の中の「変更」は、「変更する」という漢語のサ変動詞語幹です。ですから、意味としては「変更してもらう」という意味しかありません。そして、これは尊敬語ではなく「謙譲語」です。 ただし、「いただく」のは自分ですから、「～いただいて、ありがとうございます」という表現は正しくないと主張する人もいます。そういう言葉にうるさい人たちのことも考慮すると → ご見学のご日程をご変更くださり、ありがとうございます このように言ったほうがよいでしょう。

    そもそも「変更をいただく（変更をもらう）」というのはふつうの言い方ではありません。「ご変更いただく」であればＯＫです。例文をもう少し長く、最後まで書くことはできますか？そうすれば回答します。

    They are very similar. I would say 利用者 means someone who makes use of something in order to do a job or achieve a particular result or effect, while 使用者 means someone who uses something for whatever purpose (or even without any purpose). And 使用者 can also mean an employer.
