- In the first and fourth statements, you put "the" before "new day", but this is incorrect as there is not only one day. The way to correct this would simply be by using "a" instead. In the second case you put "the" before "morning". This statement is very weird in that it sounds more than just unnatural to the point of being grammatically incorrect, yet I can't think of why it would be. In cases like these, we don't put "the" in there and just say "Be morning." In the third case you're talking to the sun as if it were a person, so just as you would not say "the steve" you cannot say "the Sun". Other than those small syntax errors, your sentences were perfect. I personally might say, "Why can't it be morning, already?" Note that in formal writing you would have to have a comma before "already", and it would be more fitting to put a comma after "Come on," and if you're intending exasperation and impatience an exclamation point at the end. Hope this helps! I originally wrote this as a comment, but it ended up kind of long so I moved it to an answer.0 votedNovember 28, 20190
- Could you please help me correct my description? Thank you very much!<s>As is shown above</s>, In the left picture, a man has <s>putted</s> "BECKHAM" written on his face, and <s>while</s> in the right photo <s>drawing</s>, another man is having his hair cut in <s>doing</s> a "BECKHAM" <s>hair</s>style<s> similarly</s>. Undoubtedly, the author is calling attention to the <s>a</s> prevalent social phenomenon of the worship to an idol. 44 46Yellow/strike: CorrectionsGreen: NotesNotes:<ol><li>You should always put a space after (but not before) punctuation.</li><li>Your instructions were to write 160-200 words, but at present you have 46. If you use all my corrections, you end up with 44. An essay is intended to be a long answer, and in the normal meaning of the word 160-200 is incredibly short. If you see this word prepare for a long, detailed answer. Assume you've done something wrong and go back if your answer seems short.</li></ol>Corrections:<ol><li>You always want a question mark after a question.</li><li>Your answer is clearly talking about the picture, you should only say this when you're referencing a picture that hasn't already been mentioned, like in a text book.</li><li>"Putted" both does not belong in this context and is not the correct past tense of the word put. Put is the past tense of put. "Written" fits here, but that's not the past tense of write, it's past participle. If you put it before the quote you're saying the man wrote it there, so if you don't know if he did you should put it on the other side of the quote.</li><li>"While" implies there is a difference you're about to take special note of. You could also put a period her and avoid conjunctions all together.</li><li>"Drawing" is a word only used for pictures that have been drawn, not painted or photographed. In this case the picture is a photograph as it was taken from real life with a camera rather than having been created. Photo is a shortening of the word photograph, but it is not informal.</li><li>The man is not cutting his own hair or the hair of another, so in informal writing we would say "getting his hair cut," but in formal writing you cannot use the word "get", so sometimes you have to be a little creative as I have shown above. All the corrections in that area turn it into, "... another man is having his hair cut into a "BECKHAM" style."</li><li>If this is informal writing you can simply change the "doing" to "getting", but in this case to avoid using the word "get" I specified hair beforehand, so "hairstyle" has to be changed to just "style".</li><li>I can't judge on any of the information in your paragraph, but if you want to add "similarly" in, it would work best if you put a period at the end of the first clause about the picture on the left, removed the conjunction (while/and), and put <em>it</em> there instead.</li><li>"Artist" is almost always a word specifying those who create visual art and this excludes photography. Were it just the photography you would say "photographer", but there is text below and it is presumed that this is part of an article or book that someone wrote to make a point. An author of something is the person who wrote whatever piece of literature you're referring to, so in this case you have to use "author".</li><li>If you are referring to the phenomenon as a whole (which you have to be if you're specifying <em>which </em>phenomenon) then you have to use "the". "A" only works for nonspecific nouns.</li></ol>0 votedOctober 3, 20191
- A wonderful girl makes me embarrassed. What should I do?? Girls, your advice? <s>) </s><s>Actually I don't like her voice , it isn't horrible voice, anyway</s> She is very beautiful, <s>even</s> when she is close to me I feel short of breath/like I can't breathe <s>shortage oxygen (demand to breath)</s>. I want to say to her, "I don't like you and stop to kill me!<s style="background-color: rgb(102, 185, 102);"> </s>" but maybe I should <s>to talk to her and </s>say<s>:</s> "Lets get <s>go</s> to know <s>about</s> each other better <s>more</s>," instead.О мой богYellow/strike: CorrectionGreen: NoteNotes:<ol><li>This sentence is a little awkward. Perhaps "There's a wonderful girl I'm having trouble talking to," would work better.</li><li>Very beautiful is informal and sounds awkward. Google "beautiful synonyms" for words that mean the same thing with different nuances. For this I recommend "gorgeous".</li><li>This sounds like an insult 'n_n. I can't really understand what you're trying to say here, but it makes it sound like you dislike her.</li></ol>Corrections:<ol><li>If it's a continuing occurrence you should put an S at the end of the verb.</li><li>When you're using "embarrass" as an adjective you put an -ed on the end of it.</li><li>Was the parenthesis a typo? Either way it doesn't belong there.</li><li>Irrelevant</li><li>Added a comma</li><li>Without "just", "even" does not make much sense.</li><li>Either of these are grammatically correct but the first one is kind of proper and makes you sound like either a theater nerd or a snob and the second makes you sound like a hopeless romantic. There's really no good way to say this.</li><li>You have to have "to" in between the verb and the object.</li><li>Requires a comma</li><li>Putting "to" before a verb is called infinitive tense and it has very specific uses. Disregarding that to talk to her implies to say something so it's unnecessary.</li><li>Quotation marks are required before and after (without spaces) anything being said.</li><li>"Get" and "go" are two different verbs. To go is to move from one place to the next, to get is almost a default verb with so many meanings (all distinct with separate context) that I cannot define it. In this particular context it is part of the phrase "get to know" and lacks any actual meaning. Never the less it is the only verb that fits here.</li><li>You can omit "about" in this case because you're not learning about the person, you're knowing them.</li><li>"More" generally implies quantity, but in this case it's knowing. Knowing is a skill and we don't get more of a skill, we improve it, therefore in this situation you have to use "knowing better".</li><li>I'm assuming this is an alternative to what you want to say. If so, instead should be somewhere in this sentence, and this particular spot works.</li></ol>Good luck! As a girl I recommend being bold and telling her you think she's pretty and like her.0 votedOctober 2, 20191
- Can y’all correct me please ?I will talk to you about U2. U2 is an Irish rock band formed in 1976. The group is composed of the singer "Bono", the guitarist "The Edge", the bassist Adam Clayton, and the drummer Larry Mullen Jr.They sold more than 200,000 million CDs. In all, U2 has released 12 albums. They are known for being human rights activists, particularly Bono,<s> the singer</s>.He received the title of "The Man of Peace" by the mayor of Paris.Personally, I really like the group because I love their rythm and their lyrics. My favorite song is <em style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Sunday Bloody Sunday</em>, released in 1983. It speaks about the Bloody Sunday. The cause of the Bloody Sunday was an inequality between the Catholics and the Protestants. This song is a condemnation of the slaughters in Nothern Ireland during the march for<s> the respect of the</s> civil rights.In Conclusion, U2 it’s a very committed group and for me timeless.0 votedOctober 2, 20193
- 1) It depends on where you are. In the US we call it a living room but I believe parlor is what they call it in the UK. 2) Knowing what a pinwheel is they probably mean they blew into it. 3)Once again a difference between the UK and the US. in the US we would say B, and I'm less sure of this one but they probably say A somewhat frequently in the UK. 4) Very deeply integrated, like a single miscolored thread running through a canvas, or someone who's been in a business so long they know everything about it and the various companies within that business.0 votedOctober 2, 20191
