    Hospital story Doctor: Good Morning Mr. Pintenau, How are you today ? Patient: Good Morning Doc, I'm feeling much better but my head hurts and I'm feeling dizzy once in a while. Doctor: That is absolutely normal after a surgery like that Mr. Pintenau. If all is going well you should be released from the hospital in a few days. Patient: That sounds great! You should know that I'm having a date with a beautiful woman which I'm reluctant to cancel. Doctor: I cannot promise anything but if you continue to take your medicine, then, I think, there is nothing to stop you from doing that. Will it be your first date with that woman ? Patient: Actually, we see a lot of each other since I'm hospitalized. It looks like she loves me. She even serves me food and beverage and she can literally read every wish from my lips.

    I hate when you are trying.. / I hate when you try.. Hello, I've got a question about the following two sentences. I hate when you are trying to read something and you come across the expression ... I hate when you try to read something and you come across the expression ... Why is the first one correct? So why do we have to use the ing-form of the verb instead of the infinitive? I mean I know that we use the continious form of the verb if it happens right now but that is not the case in the second sentence. Is it because the action is temporary? Thank you in advance!

    Do you mean the key for the wireless internet access ? Hello, let's say I phone with someone and he asks me for a key but I dont know what kind of key he means. So I ask him.. "Do you mean the key for the wireless internet access or do you mean the key of my house?" Is it correct to say that? Im particulary interested in the preposition "for". Thanks in advance!

    Ok sorry. I was confused and of course it is not the present perfect continious. But why do we use the -ing form of the word have in this sentence ?

    Why do we use present perf. cont. in this sentence? Hello everybody, :) I was just reading an article on goal.com and I was wondering about the following sentence. "The coach says the two do not keep in touch, despite having worked together for three years at Real Madrid." Context: The coach (J.Mourinho) is not working for Real Madrid anymore but the player (C. Ronaldo) still is. Why do we use "having worked" in this sentence"? I mean this is present perfect continuous but there is no connection to the present. The coach worked for Real Madrid two years ago. Or do we use having in this sentence because there is the word despite before have and so we have to put the -ing at the end of the word have? Thank you very much! Rene

    What was it on? / What was it about? Hello everybody! is there a difference in meaning between the two questions "What was it on?" and "What was it about?" ? I know that the expression "What was it about?" means something like what was the thing you were talking about. Thank you in advance! René

    Ich denke diese Phrasen sind austauschbar.Es gibt also keinen Unterschied. Gruß, René

    Verschollen bezogen auf Menschen impliziert, dass man davon ausgeht das die Menschen tot sind. Mein Opa ist im Krieg verschollen. D.h. er ist wahrscheinlich tot und ich werde ihn nicht wieder sehen. Ich weiß es aber nicht mit Sicherheit. Mein Opa ist im Krieg verschwunden. Dies würde heißen das er zwar verschwunden ist aber die Wahrscheinlichkeit das er doch wieder auftaucht ist größer, da er vielleicht erst seit 2 Tagen weg ist. Die Übergänge sind hierbei natürlich fließend. Bezogen auf dein Flugzeug Beispiel würde man z.B. am ersten Tag sagen, dass das Flugzeug verschwunden ist. Nach einer Woche würde man sagen, dass das Flugzeug verschollen ist. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit die Personen lebend wieder aufzufinden ist geringer mit der Zeit. Ich hoffe du verstehst was ich meine. :) Gruß, René
