- Both of these statements make sense. To be grammatically correct you need to split them as they are considered two separate and complete thoughts. (A complete thought= subject (s)+ action(a)). I(s) have hidden(a) it somewhere. You(s) will never find(a) it. You could also separate them with punctuation when writing (comma/semicolon) or a conjunction when speaking (and, but, however, etc) : I've hidden it somewhere and no one can find it. A side note, "can" suggests the object no longer exists, "will" suggests that the speaker is confident the object will never be found.0 votedFebruary 6, 20150
- Yes, both sentences are ok for speech and either version is considered acceptable. Technically, "can" implies that the object is imposible to find, as in the object no longer exists. If you are certain that no one will find the object, you should say: "I put/hid it where no one will find it" To emphasize permanence you could add "ever": I put it where no one will ever find it. However, this is a minor error that even native speakers commonly make and will likely go unnoticed in conversation.0 votedFebruary 6, 20150
the first one
I live in Bogotá, Colombia, located in south America. Bogota is the capital of Colombia, it has a serious traffic problem.
We don't have a subway, and I can take to get 1:30 minutes in it takes me an hour and a half to arrive to at my study place (studio or school?). It's a problem. well, the food in Colombia its so, so delicious what nothing more matter. At least the food in Colombia is so delicious, nothing else matters!0 votedFebruary 6, 20150- Rachel uses present progressive in her sarcastic comment because she already felt dread before she spoke and now that she can't find the ring she still feels dread, though even more so. "Having to give it back to him" is a separate clause, I don't think I'd call it a true adverbial adjunct. She's upset and speaking her thoughts out loud so she is speaking in fragments. Both fragments provide information that is independent of the other and either could stand alone.0 votedFebruary 2, 20151
- The last one is best, though as Rifat said, it depends on the situation. In casual conversation, I'd change "are" to the verb "do" as in: "What grocery store do you work for?" (Grocery store is more common than supermarket, this could be a regional thing- I am from northeast USA.)0 votedFebruary 2, 20150
- The author is using a metaphor to describe the writing on the wall behind her. Because the letters were written in nail polish, the polish(red enamel) dripped down forming a bump(thick pearl) at the bottom(base) of each letter(stroke). The second sentence means that sometimes death can drag out and take a very long time.0 votedFebruary 2, 20150
feelings sentences
I'd like to know if I'm using theses adjectives in a good context:
scornful, tender, numb, lethargic and apprehensive
- This girl is so scornful, she always tries to us feel guilty of her problems.Scornful is not correctly used here, being scornful is looking down on someone. Here are a couple of examples:
The girl gave us a scornful look because we could not speak the native language.
After hearing too many insults, the woman left her boyfriend when she realized how scornful he was.
- English men are very tender... they leave let women pass through the door first.Tenderness implies compassion or gentleness. For example you could describe a man’s "tender touch” or say “a woman smiled tenderly at her child.” In your example of holding the door, “polite" or “respectful" would be a better word choice.
Tender is also often used for food that is cut into easily, when your knife slides into a good cut of meat you can say it is "tender". Another common usage is to describe pain, “my bruised foot feels tender when I stand up.”
- I felt numb when I found out my best friend is going out with my exboyfriend."Numb" is used perfectly here to describe a person who is in shock.
- I woke up feeling lethargic today, I won't go to the gym.Good use of the word "lethargic" as David previously mentioned, I would add the word "feeling" and move the word "today" either to the end of the sentence or before the comma.
- My brother is apprenhensive for knowing his final school marks.Apprehensive is used well here, though I would change the word "knowing". One suggestion is: "My brother is apprehensive in finding out his final school marks".
Thank you very much for your help!!! Nice job with these, hope this helped =)0 votedFebruary 2, 20150- Una fiesta esta noche Puedes ayuda con futuro tenso por favor?
