- Hi nowt000, This was an interesting puzzle. It's very nuanced. This is the context: John thinks that Little Red Riding Hood will encounter a wolf while visiting her grandma and go missing as a result. - The second reading refers to an event that has already happened and there is evidence John was incorrect, that is, Little Red Riding Hood returns home safe and sound. Since the speaker agreed with John's thinking and John was wrong, the speaker is wrong. - The third reading refers to an event that has yet to happen or is hypothetical. We don't know whether John is right or wrong until Little Red Riding Hood goes on her journey. But we can still make discuss/debate whether John's thinking is correct or not.0 votedJanuary 9, 20236
- Hi talking Cat, 😀 The Sheriff found evidence of Winnie being the perpetrator. The evidence was a "hoodie", which are a type of clothing - think a sweater with a hood to cover and wrap over your head. The hoodie actually had Winnie's name on it so this 'gave away' or confirmed that Winnie was the perpetrator. "Curse my clothes-labelling policy" is what Winnie said to the Sheriff when the Sheriff found her name on the clothes label. The joke here is that Winnie tried to prove her innocence by asking the Sheriff to check the label, and so the Sheriff did and the label did indeed have Winnie's name on it. So Winnie's plan was foiled. Winnie is showing both frustration ("curse") and awareness that her "clothes-labelling" policy or habit has landed her in trouble. Let me know if you have any questions.0 votedJanuary 9, 20231
- Hi. I have never seen notes taken like these before. It's very interesting to me. Would you be able to explain how they operate? I can see the page is divided into 4 columns. My best guess is that the notes are instructions for how to pronounce words and sentences. Thanks, Cornelius0 votedJanuary 6, 20230
- Hey J, "he's not" expands to "he is not". And "he isn't" expands to "he is not" as well. So there shouldn't be any difference between the two. I suppose one grammatic feature you should be aware of is "Andy's car" does not mean "Andy is car", it means Andy owns the car. You would also say "his car" as equivalent, not "he's car". Hope that helps 🤠0 votedDecember 30, 20221
- Hi Rachel, it isn't clear to me what you are asking. Can you post a link to the article? From what you have written so far I have interpreted most likely the article to be saying that the decline in insect population is either 1) a result from insect destruction, or 2) has amounted to the destruction of insects. #1 seems more logical. #2 seems to be circular reasoning.0 votedDecember 30, 20221
- Hi, For those studying Mandarin, what routines/habits/paradigms/thinking have you found has really slowed down your learning, and what has accelerated your learning? For me slowing down learning: trying to be too systematic about the studying finding "the way". For accelerating learning: I am now preferring to study just outside the comfort zone with pronunciation (tones and syllables) by listening to random words I don't know and repeating them. Also with character recognition I try to decipher the radical to a certain degree and make an educated guess on the definition. Lastly, just interpreting the world with Chinese and not English allows me to think in Chinese (instead of think in English and translate to Chinese). It also shows how much I can express myself and where to target time spent for language acquisition. Look forward to your responses!December 29, 202201
