- Rather is used for choices. Too is used to add or include something. Would you rather pet kittens or watch a movie? I want to pet kittens and watch a movie too. Would you rather work or play golf? I'd rather golf, but I have to work. We are are going to movies. I want to go too! Too is also used as an adjective to show excess. The coffee is too hot to drink. It's too cold outside, I need a coat too. (The cold is excessive, so I also need a coat ) Rather is also sometimes used help describe things. The coffee is rather hot, but it won't burn your tongue. In this case rather means "to a certain extent", to some degree The coffee is somewhat hot, but not enough to burn you. Hope this helps!0 votedApril 12, 20140

Do These the following sentences make grammatical make sense?
Here are some pie charts of genious genius people's daily routines. It's reminded reminding everyone of the importance of a daily workout, good sleep quality and a morning cup of Jo joe. I feel like that I should change from being a night owl into an early bird since as the old adage goes,"the early bird gets the worm."

I have to write a letter to my friends parents.
So I need someone's check.
Hello. I'm ⚪︎⚪︎.
How is it going?
Thank you for inviting me for lunch. together.
I really had a great time with you. there was There were many things which are were first time experiences for me in Taiwan.
I do appreciate you guys' and ⚪︎⚪︎'s support.
I would like to say thank you very much to you guys and ⚪︎⚪︎ also.
And thank you for your gift for my family. My family was glad to recieve your gift. They are thankful rejoice and be happy.
They also say thank you very much to you guys.
I had stayed in Taiwan for just one week. however, Even in this short time, I came to like Taiwan much more than before.
If I had have time, I would want like to go again.
I really hope to see you again. I would like for you to come to Japan.
Thank you for everything . My first trip in Taiwan is provided unforgettable memories for me.Note: "you guys" is a regional phrase. In the US southern states, we say "you all" or "y'all". Officially, the plural of you is the same, you. It's all understood. I'd recommend you use whatever form your host family used.

"How far" from now are you eating lunch? (you're eating in the future) If you are eating your lunch when you are asked... "I'm eating lunch right now" (actively eating when asked - present tense) If you add your reference point... 1. I will eat lunch 2 minutes from now. 2. I'm eating lunch 2 minutes from now. Then they are both correct. There are grammar rules that explain the finer points of the differences in the two. I don't remember what they are, something about future tense & present progressive to state the future tense? For practical usage: they are virtually the same & both are natural.0 votedMarch 31, 20140
- To me, it emphasizes that the thing has become so different and self sufficient that it is like a different world, figuratively, completely separated from everything else in its actual existence. In the example you give, the camp is so separated from the problems & everyday life of earth, that the camp might as well be on another planet, or its own planet.0 votedMarch 31, 20140
