11/19/2022 Today, I will talk about what I would want to do if I had one year to do it. I would like to start a YouTube channel. I sometimes make short movies. It is very fun and interesting to make a video that stands out by adding BGM and captions to the video I have made. However, instead of exposing my face and being active, I would like to post a video as an Indoor Human. For example, I would like to make videos of my daily life, such as a vlog, singing videos, and drinking videos. I don't mind working silently, so I can continue for hours if I like it. But, I don't have PC skills, so I would need to study hard to get them. Also, when posting videos, I would have to be be careful about copyright, and couldn't take it lightly. I want to learn a lot and make original videos. In this year, I will have learned quite a lot, and may be able to use it to continue as a creator as a future second job. Thank you for reading!! Good work! Be afraid of the word "if"--as soon as you add it to a sentence, the grammar around it becomes very strange. If you want to understand why I made most of the changes I made here, look up "conditional sentences". Good luck!

Not quite. You might be thinking of the structure "off to". If I am going to go to the store, then while I'm leaving my house, I'll say "I'm off to the store". If you say "I'm off TO New York," it means that you are leaving right now, and you are going to travel to New York.

Excellent, excellent question! D feels completely wrong. When I asked 2 other American native speakers, both instinctively felt like A was the best choice, then realized that A seemed inconsistent and B was more logical, and finally realized that C could also work. Usually, verbs will be conjugated according to the subject, not the object. However, there are several places where the subject can be ambiguous. --Obviously, when the subject is "there": there is a book on the shelf// there are some books on the shelf. --When the subject contains "and": Peanut butter and jelly are two different condiments// peanut butter and jelly is my favorite kind of sandwich --America and Britain disagree on collective nouns: ----UK: My family is large (there are a lot of people in it)// my family *are* smart (each individual in my family is smart) ---US: My family is large// my family is smart (in America, collective nouns are always singular) Nominal clauses are weird. --Some seem like they should obviously be plural: "whichever books he read *were* helpful" --Some seem like they should obviously be singular: "No, she didn't go to Paris. Where she went *was* three cities in northern England." --and others seem almost totally ambiguous to me. "No, I don't have any bananas. What I have *is/are* oranges". "Everything is gone. All that is left *is/are* stories." --If you pushed me, I would say that singular is better here, but plural doesn't feel wrong to me . *** Obviously, the confusion goes away if we replace "what" with something more specific -- The thing that follows is (a collection of) their stories. -- The things that follow are their (separate and differing) stories. Since we usually interpret "what" as "the thing", we prefer "what follows" Since it is next to the plural "their stories", we prefer are. If we notice that this results in an inconsistent sentence, we change to B.

This is a quote from Jeremy Lin. It's not a common way of using English, but it works. The base structure is "as...as", which shows that the first thing is equal to, or bigger than, the smaller thing. --"I want to be as smart as Bob"= This sentence means that right now, I think that I am less smart than Bob is. I want to become smarter, until I am equal to Bob, or even better than him. --"Please run as fast as you can (run)"= This sentence means "please run at your maximum speed." If you run even slightly slower than your maximum speed, you are not running as fast as you can. Now, you can see that the thing after the first "as" is usually an adjective or adverb: "smart" and "fast". However, we can also fill that spot with anything that acts LIKE an adjective or adverb. For instance, the prepositional phrase "up in the air" means "not settled; not firmly planned". If I say --"This meeting is as up in the air as the FYRE Festival," I am saying that it is as badly-planned as the FYRE festival (a famously badly-planned festival). SO, IN YOUR QUESTION The thing that is acting like an adjective is the prepositional phrase here is "as myself". If I act like Bob or Joe, I am not acting like myself. I am trying to be something I am not. Jeremy Lin does not want to do that. He wants to be *like himself*. He doesn't just want to be a BIT "like himself"--he wants to be COMPLETELY "like himself". He doesn't want to be "as *like Bob* as he can"--he wants to be "as like HIMSELF as he can" As a final step, Lin replaces "like" with "as". That's technically slightly wrong, but the sequence of three "as"es makes an interesting quote that people are likely to remember, so it's worth it.

1 is better. We use "for" for DURATION (length of time), not for REPETITIONS (number of times) --I lived there for three months. --I've visited that city three times. --Joe sang for 5 hours. --Joe sang 5 songs. However, I would probably rewrite your whole sentence: --Please create three separate teams, with different members in each team. --After you've created your first team, please create 2 more, being careful to make sure that each team has a completely different list of members.

Not quite. In a jury trial, the jury will decide whether you are innocent or guilty. Then, the judge will sentence you: the judge will decide how you will be punished. You will be sentenced TO a punishment FOR a crime--both the "to" and the "for" are optional, but it would be rare to see "for" without "to". --The judge sentenced Bob to 5 years in prison.

In the USA, by far the most common pattern is: "Teacher's day is on September 10th" Both of the others are acceptable, but both of them feel a bit old-fashioned or a bit British. The only exception is the holiday "The Fourth of July". "The Fourth of July" is the name of the holiday, and we celebrate it on July 4th. This is why American dates are so weird. In America, 02/03/22 is February 3rd, not March 2nd.

As sezme said, the original version is correct. "Which", "that", and "who(m)" are "relative pronouns". Since they are PRONOUNS, they REPLACE another noun somewhere in the sentence. The noun they replace can be the subject, object, or something else, but since the relative pronoun has already replaced the noun, you can't add another pronoun. replacing a subject: *Dogs* like to run.-->I like dogs *that* like to run. replacing an object: Bob likes *dogs*. --> I like dogs *that* Bob likes, too. replacing a noun in a prepositional phrase: I threw a ball to the *dog*--> This is the dog *that* I threw the ball to. / This is the dog *to which* I threw the ball. In other words, "that," "which," and "who" need to fill a HOLE in the sentence. If you replace the word "dog" with the word "it", then there isn't a hole left for the "that" to fill.
