- you need a adverb there to modify 'win' possible and probable are adjectives, so those are no good. you would have to change them to adverbs to use them, but you would still have to change the sentence some: - he will possibly win.....and....he will probably win. CORRECT however these are wrong V - he is possibly to win....and....he is probably to win. INCORRECT 'perhaps' is an adverb. I don't know why it can't go there; I just know it doesn't sound right. Perhaps, it is because 'perhaps' usually goes at the beginning of a clause: - Perhaps it will rain. - Perhaps we were late. so you could say.... - Perhaps he will win. or even.... - he will win, perhaps. No that is not right because you can say: - He is perhaps the best chef I have met. Sorry I don't know why you can't put perhaps in that spot. Can someone who actually understands Grammar help?0 votedJune 13, 20110
- when we say "in this very (place)" it is for emphasis It means that something special happened or will happen right here. We say with with some excitement or exclamation, because it is special/interesting/exciting to visit this place it is very similar to using "RIGHT here" "in this VERY spot" here are some examples: - At this very spot, Tiger Woods broke the record for .....! - In this very location, a meteorite hit the Earth 2 million years ago! - Right here, in this very spot, Abraham Lincoln was shot dead! - They will build a new skyscraper in this very spot! - I will build a house and raise a family in this very spot. ....or it might not be a special event, it could just emphasize "exactly here" - Let's meet back here, in this very spot, 2 hours from now. hope that helps :)0 votedJune 12, 20111
- 'The sky looks a pale blue.' 'The sky is a pale blue.' 'The sky looks pale blue.' 'The sky is pale blue.' These are all okay and all mean the same thing. You can use them interchangeably but using no 'a' is more common and there is a slightly different emphasis when you use 'a' When you use 'a (adj.) (color)' 'My shoes are a bright orange.' you turn the word 'orange' into a noun and you emphasize 'bright' There are many different oranges (shades of orange). This one is a BRIGHT (shade of) orange. 'My shoes are bright orange.' is a more straightforward comment and much more common. So usually you would only 'a' if you emphasizing slight differences in colors or if you want to be more dramatic/poetic. A: What color is your new cell phone? B: It's red. A: Is it a dark red or a light red? B: Actually, it's a sparkly red. but it is just as natural to say... A: What color is your new cell phone? B: It's red. A: Is it dark red or light red? B: Actually, it's sparkly red. Easy answer: They are the same.0 votedJune 10, 20111

I haven't written someanythings at italki for a long time at italki._It's been almost one year._I still remember
when I wrote the first composition with the hope which is of devenloping my English._However,
........I wrote my first...
I didn't insist on this spirit._I always lied to myself and give gave many excuses to myself._
I haven't followed through with this intention.
The much homework,_the many lessons,_the final examinations and so on;_those are regarded
"Too much homework", "to many lessons", "the final examination" and so on. I know these were
as excuses. In fact I'm a lazy man;_I can't experience difficuties.
just excuses........................man who doesn't like exertion.
Sometimes I am disappointerd to in/with myself.Good Job and good luck with the lazyness. If you figure out how to be diligent, let me know :)
