- This means that the frame has enlarged in size, perhaps due to moisture, and because of this increase in size, the window cannot be opened. This is also a common phrase used with an eye. If a person is hit in the eye and the area around the eye swells in such a way that the eye cannot be opened, you say that it is "swollen shut".0 votedNovember 17, 20161
- ¿Por qué femenino? He estado leyendo las noticias sobre los ataques en Bélgica y me encontré con esta frase: "no hay evidencia de que el arresto y las explosiones de este martes estén relacionadas". ¿Por qué es femenino y plural la palabra "relacionadas"? Si modifica "evidencia", debe ser singular, ¿no? Entonces, ¿"explosiones"?March 22, 201670
- ¿Más opción o otra opción? He leído hoy un artículo con esta frase: Los niños pobres no tuvieron más opción que quedarse en sus casas. A veces he visto "otra opción" en lugar de "más opción". ¿Son estas intercambiables o tienen significados diferentes? Y si intercambiables, ¿cuál es el más común?February 3, 201650
- When I do that I try to work out one paragraph at a time. I will (attempt to) translate what I read in my head, then check myself with something like Google Translate. If I got it generally correct, I move on. If I missed the meaning then I will look up the word or words that confused me. This allows me to learn words by their context and it is not the slow process that looking up every word would be.0 votedDecember 4, 20150
- "Seen up close" or "looked at closely" are common phrases and are mostly interchangeable. "Seen closely" is not appropriate for this context. I don't think that I have seen or heard "seen too close". So "when the leaf is looked at closely" would be a good statement. "Fine" before details is an adjective that describes what kind of details. In this case it means the smallest details imaginable, like you would see if using a magnifying glass, for example.0 votedDecember 4, 20151
- Choice #2 is how I would say it, although you could substitute "staring" for "looking". You can say "to the detriment of" but it is much less common in this kind of structure. If I were going to say it that way I would change sentence #1 to: Staring at a screen for a long period of time is to the detriment of your eyesight. In reality, though, I would never say that. I would stay with sentence #2.0 votedDecember 4, 20150
- I know her. (Maybe for only two days, but I know her) I`ve known her for years. (I've known her for a long time.) He impressed me with his history. (At one point in the past he impressed me.) He has impressed me with his history. (He impressed me for a span of time in the past.) He impresses me with his history. (He continues to impress me today.) She owns two car. (cars) She has got two car. (The same thing really. Has implies ownership, or at least possession. She has two cars is a better way to say it.) He didn`t remember my name. (At some point in the past he didn't remember.) He has not remembered my name. (He didn't remember in the past and he still doesn't remember.)0 votedAugust 28, 20150
