My First Trip to America
I'll be taking a first trip to the United States from Nov. 9th to the 23rd.
I'm very excited about the trip now.
Last Friday I purchased the round-trip flight tickets from Osaka, Japan to New York via Beijing at for 58,800 JPY (=approximately 574 USD).
That was incredibly cheap.
I'll be staying in a small town of in New Jersey during the first 7 to 8 days of the trip.
However, I haven't decided where I'm going to visit during the rest of trip.
I'll do it until the departure date. (I'm not sure what you mean to say here. Is it that wherever you decide to go, you will stay there until you leave?)0 votedSeptember 15, 20163- I don't think I have much to add to Sebastian's very through analysis, but I would add one thing. Definitely in the case of (1) and (2) and to some extent (3) (depending on context,) these constructions would not typically be used in either spoken language or casual writing. They sound like something that would appear in very formal writing, or in a narrative. (1) sounds like it came out of a fairy tale or fantasy story and (2) might appear in a narrative as "And suddenly, there appeared a ship on the horizon." Perhaps the latter could appear in spoken language if you are telling a story in a compelling or poetical way. This is perhaps why the construction is so restricted, as Sebastian described. Constructions that are not familiar to us from everyday speech and writing will be hard to process unless they are part of a set phrase like "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" or the meaning is clear from context, as Sebastian described. Unfortunately, there are often no set rules or if there are, well I guess you will have to figure them out for your thesis! English especially has been beaten up over time and there are a lot of weird little things left over. Let me know if you have any more questions! I find this stuff fascinating.0 votedSeptember 14, 20160
Hello English!【2】
Hello. My name is Natsu.
please correct my post.
I wrote about season of my country my country's seasons. Japan has four seasons.
It's They're spring, summer, autumn, winter.
In spring, the cherry trees are in full bloom and we enjoy picnics under it them.
In summer, it is hotter than spring. We swim in the sea.
In autumn, dead leaves are flutter about in the wind.
In winter, it's it snows. We warm oneself ourselves at a 'kotatsu'.0 votedSeptember 13, 20161is my English correct?
My teacher gave me two textbooks to study in English. Although, it is I am very happy ,the textbooks are written entirely in all English such as make including the rules of grammar.
My English skill is until still at a beginner level so I do not quiet quite understand what the textbook says.0 votedSeptember 13, 20161
