    Does adding "the" makes any different in these two sentences? Greetings! I'd like know the difference between the following sentences. Sentence one:Thanks for the dinner and gifts. Sentence two:Thanks for the dinner and the gifts. So my question is: whether adding an article "the" right before and after a conjunction "and" makes any difference (meaning/grammatical correctness)? Hope someone can help me sort it out. Many thanks, Evan

    Please help to explain this issue on verb tense usage Dear all, recently I ran into a problem on how to explain the "did+was+watch" in the sentence provided below. "When I woke up this morning the first thing I did was watch TV." I tried to separate it into noun phrase: [ the first thing I did ] ,verb: [was], and verb phrase:[ watch TV ] but somehow my grammatical knowledge told me that the [ watch ] here needed to be changed into its gerund form. However, the paradoxical thing is, when I google it, it seems that for [ watch ] here remaining its original form is also acceptable. Please help to explain it, regarding its grammar, semantic and/or pragmatic implications. Much Appreciated. Sincerely, Evan Tsao.

    Which one is correct semantically? I may buy one once I "save" enough money. & I may buy one once I "saved" enough money.

    Please help to explain the grammar here. I just noticed that "let" is a verb, so how would you explain the existence of the two verbs in..."Don't let your mom cut your hair." which are let and cut?

    How to have proper use of "End up with"? Hello guys I have a question needed your kindness support. The question is, could the phrase "end up with" be added a 's' to the "end" to make it a present tense like: " You should shift the register to a formal one and it better ends with an interjection." or should it not be changed?

    I don't understand what exactly you mean by 漢字 and 白話字. By the way, Chinese(Taiwanese) here is a bit confusing. Because Taiwanese simply means Hokkien( a dialect from mainland China) and is lack of modern written characters, mostly use by people in spoken form. Please be more specific about which language you wanted for explanations on grammar and/or vocabulary for better suggestions.
