- As far as I'm concerned : ) To take apart a computer is much easier than (to) put it together == It's much easier to take apart a computer than to put it together. The rule: [ Sometimes, the infinitive can serve as a formal subject in English. To utilize "to" behind "than" in your sentence can make its components all noticeable and highlight the comparison between both infinitives. ]0 votedMarch 28, 20240
- Well, I suggest that both sentences you wrote convey the same meaning in a natural way, while the sole distinction is that "worth knowing about" utilizes an active voice to express a passive sense. In my opinion, the first appears to be much more prevalent and acceptable. Another homogenous instance is just like yours : (1) It might be worth calling her. (2) Beyond those ten minutes there did not seem, just then, to be anything worth being called Time. [ Reference: << To the lighthouse>> - Virginia Wolf, Chapter 36. ] For the reason that someone refers to the usage of "worth + being done" as grammatically incorrect. Therefore, I have provided an authoritative example to substantiate its validity here : D0 votedMarch 26, 20242
- As a non-native English speaker, my answer may not be entirely accurate. However, I suggest that "rebuke oneself" can be used in certain contexts, with the meaning of "strong self-reproach". For instance: She rebukes herself for her stupidity. The sentence "The girl's coach rebuke her for missing some very shots" is grammatically correct, though at least in my opinion" The girl's coach rebuked her for failing to score some very easy shots."flows more naturally. : ) Regarding "find oneself", I interpret it as a verb phrase that implies a sudden realization of being in an unexpected situation or one's own innate abilities. Given the absence of contextual information, I am uncertain whethere "find oneself"can be utilized appropriately in your sentence.0 votedMarch 24, 20241
- I am not a native speaker of English. So my answer may not be accurate. So far as I am concerned: "Because of " implies you're telling others a reason that they don't know. "Owing to" implies a fact that has happened. "Due to" implies one thing caused by another. "Thanks to" implies a lucky or good thing caused by another. If " thanks to " was utilized to put an unlucky or bad thing, it must have a satirical connotation in my opinion. By the way, It seems grammatically incorrect to place "owing to" behind a verb directly while the others are all acceptable and allowable.0 votedMarch 6, 20243
