- Is this too wordy? It's mindblowing how the molecular structures of the different components, in the biochemistry of physiology, are similar enough as to allow a seamless interaction between seemingly distant but closely related processes to sustain organic life. The simplicity of alanine draws near the structure of piruvate, helping in the working integration of both structures in the glucose-alanine cycle.April 10, 202110
- Are people with high IQ’s good language learners? After watching some material about it and considering it, the answer to this question casts hope to the ones who do not have a high IQ. We saw that good language learning strategies can help you leverage your learning, making your effort and abilities pay off more efficiently and effectively. It is like having to tight or loose a bolt, the strength you have will not be the key factor towards accomplishing the task. It is going to be the tool you use plus the correct use of such tool what will lead to success. Once you select a spanner or a screwdriver, the way you impel force with the tool would be different as different the tool is. In any case, the said tool is going to make your effort more focused and effective. The language learning strategies are like those tools that help us accomplish our different goals faster, easier and with less frustration so henceforth I will pay more attention and learn more about them.April 27, 201701
Thank you all again! now it makes sense! I checked the subjunctive out online as well and I feel it is optional to use.
I mean, can we avoid using it and say essentially the same thing?
For example:
without subjunctive:
It was necessary for me to be there, otherwise, the students wouldn't have had any class.
with subjunctive:
It was necessary (that)* I be there, otherwise, the students wouldn't have had any class.
Usually, I would have used the 1st one, however, now with the second one I could be more emphatic. Am I right?
*Is it ok not to use "that" in the sentence?
Thank you!

0 votedMarch 7, 20170- Hello! Is this a complex grammar form... or a mistake?
I will paste the whole paragraph for the sake of context:
Let us first restate the question of how we acquire: given the correctness of the natural order hypothesis, how do we move from one stage to another? If an acquirer is at "stage 4", how can he progress to "stage 5"? More generally, how do we move from stage i, where i represents current competence, to i + 1, the next level? The input hypothesis makes the following claim: a necessary (but not sufficient) condition to move from stage i to stage i + 1 is that the acquirer understand input that contains i + 1, where "understand" means that the acquirer is focused on the meaning and not the form of the message.
I would expect to have the verb conjugated with the singular form (i.e. understands). However, the words "is that" may play a role changing the grammar form, or may not.
Could you please tell me what you think about this?
Thank you all!
March 7, 201781 Hello, Iamysy!
I can start to study for IELTS! This should not be that different from studying general English, is it?
I think I may take this exam in the future. I am not studying specifically for it, though. Anyway, what do you think the difference is between studying for the IELTS and studying English generally?
Take a look at this:

I'll send you a message with my WeChat id!

If Spanish is not a priority, you may take it easy (without rejecting it) while focusing on your target languages. If I were you I would learn Spanish as something I do on weekends. By the way, how does it sound better? on weekends or on the weekend?
