- Chinese knots are made of various colors of threads Chinese knots are made of various colorful threads Both are correct, but they have slightly different meanings. "Various colors of threads" means any color, so this would mean the threads could be any color. However, "colorful threads" means the color of the threads has to be colorful (synonym: bright) so colors like red, pink, purple, green (not colors like gray, black, white, dull ones like such). Hope this clears things up, message me if you need any more help!0 votedApril 3, 20184
- I have never seen the movie, but I can figure out what they are saying/the meaning behind them, but keep in mind I have not seen the film so there may be slight nuances in the manner in which these sentences/phrases are said! I imagine the first one is two friends talking, saying that the third person (the man they are talking about) is going to milk the death/funeral they are attending. What this means is they are implying the third person involved is going to try to get sympathy for a long time for his loss (losing the person who died). "Captain caring" is just referring to playing the sympathy card, melodrama is someone being over-emotional about a situation. Next one, this one is easy to understand. The comment about big ears is implying that the person has such big ears, that they are like satellite dishes (the dishes on the top of one's roof that allow you to watch TV). The NFL package line is referring to a payment plan that allows you to pay extra to get more channels to watch football (NFL), and is just further building on the fact that the person being made fun of has large ears, like satellite dishes. You got told is slang, and means basically someone showed you/gave you an often sarcastic answer/reply or otherwise insults you. Here's a crude example that I hope will help you understand, using A, B, and C to refer to 3 different people. A: I don't think you played very well in the game yesterday, B. B: Yeah, well you're ugly. C: Oh, you got told A. The last part is just slang for basketball, "Get in" most likely refers to wishing that the ball is going to go into the hoop (hoping the shot goes in mid-shot most likely), "Play one" could mean a lot of things, so I would need to watch the scene. "Bring it in" probably refers to huddling up, allowing for a team to talk about what is going on/what needs to be done to win the game. "Bank's open" is slang for when someone is making a bank shot (shot off the backboard).0 votedJune 16, 20170
My English problems (My problems learning English/lots of other ways to say this)
I have learned English for so many years,but still can't speak (it) very well. My grammar is also bad, I don't know how to make it better.The reason I have these questions could be because I don't have much of a language environment, I can't practice it all the time. But I think I will make my English better through practicing everyday.0 votedFebruary 26, 201701. I saw my wife sitting on the treadmill and watching TV, so I asked what she was doing. She shushed me, and said, "I am trying to deceive my fat."
"so I asked what she was doing." is fine and correct but, "so I asked her what she was doing." sounds much better
2. I asked my colleague how he spent his Saint Valentine's Day, and he answered that he spend the whole day with his dog. I thought that it must be the most pathetic day. What a romantic day it was, and the dog had to play with that guy."Saint Valentine's Day" is just called "Valentine's Day" here, so you can drop the "Saint."
"he answered that he spend the whole day..." should be "he answered that he spent the whole day..."

Would please send me your phone number?" Then I can find out how many contacts are silly.
"Would please send me your phone number?" should be "Would you please send me your phone number?"
Also, silly is not usually used here, a better word would be: "Then I can find out how many contacts are unneccessary."
