Activities
- To talk about yourself, use the pronoun "I" when you are the subject of the sentence and possessive pronoun "my." If you are a direct or indirect object of a sentence use "me." Some people with very high status (or wishing they had very high status) say "We" instead of "I' But, if you are not the President of the USA or a royalty, just say "I"0 votedMarch 15, 20110
- The problem is that neither sentence is an example of grammatically correct English. The sentences would make more sense if you replace "until" with "after." If you make this change, there is still not much difference in meaning. Neither sentence implies that the construction actually started.0 votedMarch 14, 20110
- I am not sure that english has words to define different abilities to memorize. Photographic memory describes a person who remembers everything they read. Other than that, the normal comparisons apply. It is said that some people have pictorial memories (that is they can remember what they see, or a diagram). Some people have good memories of music and can remember everything about a song or any other piece of music. If you are asking how to improve memory, you can look at various published methods. One is to associate facts with objects in your home. Another is to make a diagram that relates facts to a central theme. It is possible that people can improve their ability to memorize facts by associating them with things they find easy to remember. Different people may use different methods. In India, many test questions ask for remembered facts. Remembering facts under stress is also a skill that can be learned. How people learn is a topic for another time. A comment on your English. Your sentences appear to be a direct translation from Hindi. You could improve your grammar by reviewing some of the basics of English word order. You could also try to write shorter sentences. If you are unsure of spelling, you can use google translate to help.0 votedMarch 14, 20110
- I would say the author is being poetic. green gives us a variety of images of plentiful plants, bushes or trees in a tropical forest or jungle. Such a place may be underdeveloped or undeveloped in a third world country. Green also has overtones of saving the environment. contrasted with tubercular, the word green might imply healthy. Tuberculosis is a lung disease that is highly contagious. It is associated with physical weakness and early death. Is the author saying that it is better to be a poor person in Haiti than to suffer Russian winters? Could be.0 votedMarch 13, 20110
- there are really three words: to use (verb as in "I use my credit card") use (noun as in "What use is paper money?" or "that word is no longer in use" or "it has fallen out of use" ) usage (noun as in "the usages of the last 50 years") Use and usage are almost always interchangable. "Use" is the more common, conversational choice. "Usage" implies a more scholarly or learned point of view. The dictionary disagrees and says "usage" is the act, manner or amount of "using"0 votedMarch 13, 20110
