- "Listening for" and "listening to" both work but have different meanings. "Listening to" refers just to the fact that you are listening to something. "Listening for" refers to the fact that you are listening and trying to hear something in particular. Earlier an example was given in regards to listening for the starting gun. This means you are listening and trying to hear the sound of the starting gun. Unlike what was suggested listening to the starting gun is possible. For example one can say, "Listening to the sound of the starting gun the runners took off from the starting blocks and ran down the track." Alternatively, one could say "Hearing the sound of the starting gun the runners took off from the starting blocks and ran down the track."0 votedMarch 12, 20210
stick to a habit vs stick a habit
Hello :)
I'd like to talk about "making or starting a new habit", and it might be the opposite to "breaking a habit"
Please let me know the grammatically correct expression. Thanks!
Which is correct between the followings?Which is correct between the following?
- stick to a habit
- stick a habit (incorrect)"following" doesn't have an "s" added even if there are multiple things you are referring to. Which is correct between the following sayings? Note that if something such as "saying" is included after "following" an "s" gets added to the end if there are multiple sayings.
Note: Although the following situation is rare, if you refer to more than one group of people who follow someone or something (= a following) it's possible that you can use the word followings.
Example: "The followings of the two opposing football teams cheered loudly."
"making or starting a new habit" refers to creating a NEW habit.
"Sticking to a habit" refers to the process of CONTINUING TO DO a habit.
