- She was very set in her ways when she first tied the knot and wasn’t happy when she didn’t get her way. She looks happy now, though, after learning relationships are all about compromise. He is usually nice but also set in his ways and sometimes becomes cranky when he doesn't get his way. As a stylistic preference, I'd usually avoid repeating "way" so an alternative ending to the bottom sentence could be "when he doesn't get what he wants." A similar change could be made to the 1st sentence at the top.0 votedApril 7, 20221
- Either one could technically be correct, but the first one is a lot more likely. Usually, this is something that would be said by an event host, right before "tonight's speaker" starts speaking. That means that the event host is speaking to the audience, and is about to describe the background of the event speaker. In this case, they would say "Let me introduce you to tonight's speaker." To make the second one correct, the event host would have to say a little bit about the background of the audience TO the speaker.0 votedJuly 29, 20191
- Just to clarify from Elena's answer on number 3: You can't replace just one "could" to "will" (e.g., The sentence "Joe, you couldn't give me a hand, will you?" is incorrect). You could say "Joe, you wouldn't give me a hand, would you?" and the meaning would be just as polite as the original, although it is less commonly used. Bottom line: the verb in the second (question) part of the sentence has to match the verb in the beginning of the sentence. There isn't really a way I can think of to use this kind of reaffirming question sentence construction with the word "will." To use "will," you'd have to ask a direct question (e.g., "Joe, will you give me a hand?")0 votedJune 3, 20190
- It means "I don't agree with this in all possible cases." or "I might agree with this only if X happens or Y changes." As Nico pointed out, sometimes native speakers will use the word "necessarily" in a flippant manner, but that isn't always (or even often) the case. You won't always necessarily know whether the speaker really meant 'necessarily' or not. :)0 votedMay 16, 20191
