Black Green-Soybean, Again...
Hi, everyone, it’s Ken23e. It has been <strike>in</strike> the season of a black green-soybean called Kuro-Edamame, in our region. Salty boiled Kuro- Edamame is supposed to <strike>really go</strike> go really well with beer!! Today, I ordered 10 bunches of them <strike>to</strike> for my colleague whose parents are farmers. Actually, there are many grades of Kuro-Edamame and they are sorted by size, shape, production area and so on. And the grade which I’ll buy is almost the highest. Anyway, I’m lucky to be able to get them of a higher grade with a cheaper price.^^ Well, 4 bunches out of 10 are for my brother’s family, another 4 out of 10 are for my wife’s parents and the <strike>rest</strike> remaining 2 are for my family and my father.^^
It sounds like you've a good deal there, Ken. It also seems to be very generous of you.0 votedOctober 13, 20101- One reason to use a comma is when you have extra information in the sentence. You use the commas to seperate that information. So your sentence could look like this. This explains why he revised his work so obsessively and why we only have slightly more than one thousand of his poems." The extra information is "in spite of his thirty years of writings". So when it is added into the sentence a comma is put on both sides like your original sentence "This explains why he revised his work so obsessively and why, in spite of his thirty years of writings, we only have slightly more than one thousand of his poems."0 votedOctober 12, 20100
- It's very difficult to explain but I'll try. (But sorry i can't translate them to Chinese). 1. Compare to - compares things that are different in nature. Compare with - compares things that are similar in nature. So, you can see two eras in history as similar periods, and compare them -with- one another. At the same time you can take two eras in history that are completely different and compare them -to- one another. 2. "A compared to B" is talking about A's relation to B. "Compare A to B" sounds more like you are telling someone to compare A to B. Here is a little article that explains it: http://www.dailywritingtips.com/compared-to-or-compared-with/0 votedOctober 11, 20100
- This answer is kind of a cultural one. Grammatically you would only say one, because you were only asked for one. However, people tend to do one of two things. One: They well ask "Do I have to pick just one?" then depending on the answer give their answer. So if no, just list your favorites. If yes, then struggle to pick one haha. Two: They will list however many they want anyway. Which is fine. Most people unless there a strict reason to only give one, will understand when you give more than one. So example: A: "What is your favorite subject?" B: "Well, I like science and math." Even though grammatically that looks wrong, most people will think its perfectly acceptable.0 votedOctober 10, 20100
