Activities
- 1) Kelvin enjoys science lessons, but all his experiments seem to ____go_____ wrong a) turn b) come c) end d) go d) go - this is the only option that would work because a) b) and c) all require some kind of modifier. To have a) work it would have to be "turn out," for b) it would have to be "come out," and for c) it would be "end up." 2) ____Apart______ from Mike, all the group arrived on time. a) Except b) Other c) Besides d) Apart d) Apart - the "from" messes up all the other options besides d) in this question. a) would work if it was "Except for," b) would work if it was "Other than," and c) would work if it was just "Besides Mike." I hope this helps. Let me know if you need any other elaboration.0 votedNovember 23, 20161
- The second set is better than the first because the first is grammatically incorrect. I've worked for (add an employer or company name here) since October. Or you could make it: I've worked since October. All these sentences are correct: I've worked for almost a month. I've been working since October. I've been working for almost a month. I hope this helps :)0 votedNovember 22, 20160
- I've never heard "non-branded" used, so I'm tempted to say it's incorrect. I have heard "branded," though it is definitely used less than "brand-name" and "designer." It is less natural than the other two, but I don't know if it's considered incorrect. Sorry that doesn't actually answer your question. I hope this helps regardless.0 votedNovember 22, 20161
- 1) Saying that you "got someone wet," is not an inappropriate statement in American English (at least in the context that you brought up). If you wanted an alternative, you could say, "I'm sorry, did I splash some water on you?" or "Oh, did I get water on you?" What you put was fine, though (and the most common way to say it). 2) Sorry, I don't know what ivory trade and ivory trading are. 3) In this context, "in the basics of" essentially means "basic exercises," so read as, "This book contains almost 350 basic exercises of ring theory." I hope this helps :)0 votedNovember 22, 20162
- Question 1: In this context, "initiate proceedings," means that any partner/partners can start the process of terminating the partnership. In other words, to "initiate proceedings" roughly means to start a process. Question 2: In this context, "contributor" means a contributor of information, as in Laura Ingraham gives information to Fox News (and is paid for it). I hope this helps :)0 votedNovember 22, 20160
- I discovered that she has been keeping the nail trimmings. -- This sentence is perfect! Never a day goes by without thinking of her. -- This sentence sounds very awkward to me, but it's understandable. Who's "thinking of her?" You should include that. I would reword it as: "A day never goes by without him/her thinking of her." I hope this helps.0 votedSeptember 14, 20161
- "Yet" loosely indicates that something will happen. (Future) "I haven't done that thing that I'm supposed to do in the future yet." "Already" loosely indicates that something happened. (Past) "I already did that thing in the past." Here's some examples where only the one would work: "I'm not there yet" ("I have yet to arrive") "Have you submitted the assignment yet?" ("Not yet) "I submitted the assignment already" "I'm here already" I hope this helps.0 votedSeptember 14, 20161
- The other answers are very good, but here's another if you want a third opinion! 1) My sister spends too much of my money when we go out. "Go out" does not have a sexual connotation, it's fine for any use. To "get someone spending" money is extremely informal language (slang). Don't use it. You could say instead that: "My sister makes me spend a lot of money when we go out" or "my sister gets me to spend a lot of money when we go out." "So what do I say here?" is the same as "Then what do I say here?" 2) Yes, you can have money to spare. Yes, you can say either "I am going to treat myself" or "I am going to splurge." 3) No, it doesn't sound weird to say "the car is crooked." In the context of you sitting in a car, it would make perfect sense. If you were nowhere near a car, this would sound very strange. In that case, say that you PARKED crooked. If the car is crooked it sounds like it's deformed (bent out of shape). Or you could say "the car is crooked in the parking spot." 4) Yes, you can say "He will take you over." It would be more clear if you said "He will take you over to your table" or "he will seat you." "Take over work" makes no sense. If you were talking to a fellow employee and they were "taking over your work" it means they are replacing you at whatever you were doing. It cannot be used when a waiter is seating someone. I hope this helps!0 votedSeptember 11, 20160
- I don't care who is the president of the Australia. Almost perfect! Just take out "the" before Australia. I'm not entirely sure what the rule is for including "The" before proper nouns (sorry). As a side note you could also write the sentence like this and it would mean the same thing: "I don't care who the president of Australia is." For the rest, they are all understandable but could use some little corrections: I don't care the way you live: could be written as: 1) I don't care about the way you live (care is always followed by "about." People "care about something," we don't "care something.") 2) I don't care how you live I don't care what people think of me I live my life as I want: I feel like this should be split into two sentences. 1) I don't care what people think (about) me. 2) I live my live as/how I want. As a side note, this is what a semicolon (";") is used for. You can use it as a replacement for "because." 3) I don't care what people think of me; I live my life as I want. To be free it means to do what you please and to live as you please. You don't need to include the word "it" in this sentence because you already stated the subject as "free." A better sentence would be: "To be free means to do what you please and to live as you please." They all look fabulous! I hope this helps.0 votedSeptember 11, 20161
