- Note: do not use "to" after "should" or "must" Otherwise, these four expressions are similar, but with slight differences. 1) "have to" = expresses general obligation; can be used in past, present, and future tenses (had to, have to, will have to); more common than "must" in casual American English 2) "must" = expresses general obligation; can only use in present or near future; a bit more formal; often used in official documents; less common in casual American English 3) "need to" = expresses that something is important and/or required for a specific reason; can be used in past, present, future tenses (needed to, need to, will need to) 4) "should" = less binding, more of a strong recommendation rather than an obligation; for past tense used more as in negative form as a regret (i.e. should have done this, but did not); otherwise used in present or near future Hope this helps :)0 votedJune 2, 20200
- Several Sentences with New Words1) Perfectionism is one of my forte. You can either say "it is my forte" (more common), or "it is one of my fortes" It's also my punishment, because sometimes it can ruin everything I try to create. I would use the word "weakness" instead of "punishment" here. It fits better. But this is a judgment call.2) I don't get back to the books I liked earlier. I prefer to read new ones.3) In Russian you can skip the verb "to be" (which sometimes works like "to have") in the Present Tense when there's an attributive adjective. For example, in the sentence "I have a new car" the word "new" would allow you to skip "have" - "У меня (есть) новая машина". Yet I should admit that "У меня " also conveys a shade of possession unlike simple English "I". Well said!4)Yours have yet to arrive home. Technically this sentence is grammatically correct, but it's confusing unless you were previously referring to something. You still have some time to clean your mess (?). This sentence is correct too!5) He knows where to find <s style="color: rgb(230, 0, 0);">a</s> supplementary information - he's a very knowledgeable professional. (You can either say "he knows were to find supplementary information" or "he knows where to find THE supplementary information." However, you cannot use the "a" article with the word "information." You can only say "a piece of information" if you want to use "a.")Great job!!!0 votedJanuary 16, 20200
- In the USA, a full-time college student is usually defined as someone taking at least 12 credits per semester. A semester is about 4 months long, either from August/September to December, or from January to April/May. Each college class is assigned a number of credits. For example, an "easier" class may be 1 or 2 credits. A harder class may be 3 or 4 credits. By this definition, a part-time college student in the US is someone who takes 11 credits or less per semester. There are probably different systems in different countries. Also, I'm not sure if you are referring to college students or grade school students. This is just how full-time and part-time are defined at a typical 4-year university in the USA.0 votedJanuary 14, 20200
