    Yes, our locksmiths could duplicate simple keys.

     

    But usually if one of the keys is lost, we would change the lock, as someone could get hold of the lost key and open the lock.

    "Should" has a more imperative tone, implying some sort of restriction is in place; "shall" gives the listener more freedom to choose. You may interpret "should", "shall" and "must" (bonus!) as: "Should we dance?" -> "I'm not sure if we are allowed to dance or not, shall we do it?" "Shall we dance?" -> "May I have the pleasure of dancing with you?" "Must we dance?" -> "I don't want to dance, are you going to force me to do it?" "I shall go now" -> "I will go now, it is my choice" "I should go now" -> "I think I will go now, or else something bad will happen" "I must go now" -> "If I don't go now, aliens will definitely come and abduct me" The phrase "you shall not pass"/"thou shalt not pass" would be confusing to you, as it implies "you may not pass (as I am currently preventing you from doing it)" more than "you are not allowed to pass (because of the rules)".

    Yes you can. Although comprehensible, they are considered colloquial, usually used in informal speech. A direct translation of what you wrote would sound like this in English: 1) The day before yesterday, I already went to the office 2) The day before yesterday, I already went to work. You might want to change them to: 1) 我前天开始上班 2) 我前天开始打工 If you mean "I've started going to the office/working the day before yesterday" If you meant to write "yesterday", it's 昨天.

    1. 瘦 2. 你 很 面熟 (you have a [very] familiar face) 3. 昨天 载 我 到 机场 的 司机 I have divided the words with spaces to ease your understanding, normally we write them without spaces in between words.

    はじめまして! はじめまして!マレーシアからのランスです。いま、ぼくはソフトウェア・エンジニア。毎日8時間コードに食べ物を変換の機械だ(わらう)。 日本のアニメや文化や技術はとっても面白いと思う。だから、日本語を勉強なりたい。見返りに、僕は英語や中国語や教えることができる。 日本語の文法は本当に難しいな…この短いメモを書くのため僕30分かかった。 来日、このすごく暑い国マレーシアを紹介します。 (写真の人たちは僕と会社の同僚、場所はバリ島、インドネシア)

    How to express "have been learning" and "have been taught" in Japanese? e.g. "I have been learning Japanese language since elementary school" vs "I have been taught Japanese language since elementary school"

    "One times one" The "times" you are currently referring to, is "multiply/multiplication" (成法), not "occurrence" (次数). For multiplication, you always use "times". Though to prevent confusion, you might want to use "one multiplied by one" instead.
