A thing I regretted recently
On the last day of the winter break, my husband and I decided to spend a whole day playing a game together. We downloaded a game on our cellphones and started to play. The name of the game is RPG. It's theme dates back to the Warring States period of China.
As planned, we played for a whole day. The last minute of the day came and went but we didn't stop until 2am. As a result, both of us were so tired on our first day of work. I wouldn't have thought it but the situation only got worse. We continued the game everyday staying up late each night.
Now, I can not help but think about why this happened. It's just because my husband and I wanted to do something together. Playing this game was the easiest thing to do together. I have a lot things that I like do, for example, learning languages, sports, reading, movies, and meeting people. Usually, playing this game is the last thing that I would of liked to do. However, my husband likes playing games a lot. Most of the time, he would like to stay home playing games rather than join me in the things I like do. We would always spend our weekends separately, doing our own thing.
As for the reason why I haven't stopped playing this game.... maybe because it is easier to play this game than trying to get my husband to do other things with me. And when you are in the game, you can forget about the other stuff that I like to do. A lot of people tend to choose the easy route. Unfortunately, I am one of these people. This could be the reason why I didn't particuarly like playing the game but I didn't stop. Since I continue to play my husband won't stop either!
I regret that bad idea on that last day of the winter break.0 votedJanuary 17, 20183- Sentence 3 is correct. The word "Staff" indicates more than one without having to have an "s" on the end of it. You can say "There are 20 staff members in the university administrative department." or "There were 20 staff members in the university administrative department." The word "Staff" refers to a group of people....so again does not need to have an "s" on the end to indicate it being plural. Sentence 2...."There were 20 staff in the university administrative department." is also technically correct but is used more in the UK than the USA. Adding "members" after the word "staff" helps to clarify the meaning of the sentence,0 votedDecember 24, 20171
- This is correct for #1 and #2 but not for #3 and #4. May or Might would be correct in sentences #3 and #4. He may have gone out by now........meaning (maybe he has already gone) He could of gone out by now,,,,,,,,,,,,meaning t(he could have gone out) He would of gone out by now........meaning (normally he has already gone out or has already left by this time..... so he may not be there) Saying "I could have saved some money" would refer to a situation that has already occurred. Example: I bought these clothes at Macy's but if I had bought them at Walmart I could have saved some money. You could say "By the end of this year I could have saved some money if I had not lost my job". In this case you are refering to what may of happened in the future (saving money) if something had not happened in the past (losing your job) This would work with "I could have.....I may have.....I might have....I would have... Hope I didn't confuse you with my explanation. Peter T.0 votedNovember 1, 201710
- "Thats mean." You could say it this way: Thats really mean! "really" emphasizes the word mean. For example: If a person kicked a dog you might say "Thats mean." But if a person tied up and then beat a dog you might say: Wow, thats really mean! the word "really" in this case raises the level of how mean action is.0 votedJuly 19, 20150
