Activities
- The first one makes sense. You were in a romantic relationship and she left because you didn't make her laugh enough, and you are taking the blame. The second one doesn't make sense at all. Using the verb, say, "for not being able to make you laugh" but this doesn't work with "my fault for" very well. Most people wouldn't say my fault about being something, but rather doing something.0 votedAugust 7, 20200
- If someone has to die -> no one has died yet, and we are considering it right now; or hypothetical If someone had to die -> in that situation (in the past); or hypothetical "If someone has to die, I think it should be me." Someone must die, and I volunteer. The way you have it written, it sounds like you have regret because someone did die and it wasn't you. That is indicated by past tense "thought" so either someone died and there is no longer a need for you to die, or you no longer think so, i.e. you changed your mind about volunteering to die. Amy gives a good answer. Using "will" unambiguously indicates future.0 votedAugust 7, 20200
- Do you mean skewering tomatoes is your job? As in, you work in a kitchen and make shish kebabs? You could say "I make shish kebabs for a living." or "My job is to skewer small tomatoes together." The latter still sounds a bit strange just because you do more at work than that, right? Here "skewer" can be used as a verb instead of "hold" because you are using a skewer. What's unclear is: your role in what? So if in context of a conversation it's clear you're talking about your role in something in particular, like "my role [at the restaurant]" then it would make sense but without context it's unclear what you mean by your "role." What you have written could be a response to a question, "and what is your role at the restaurant?" or "how do you help your mother make shish kebabs at home?" In the second case "my role [in helping my mother cook]..." would be understood. Grammatically, it already makes sense, just use the plural for tomatoes. In English, words that end in O often get the -es plural ending.0 votedAugust 7, 20200
