you can take it apart If you tear off the sticker, but the factory will not offer you VOID any warranty after that ?…
Ja lubię (this is the) best thing since sliced bread :D Should it be "...the best thing since sliced bread" or "...best thing since sliced bread"? Which of the two do you like bes…
Myślę, że jest tak jak w tekście piosenki pod oficjalnym filmikiem (w opisie) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldgwAAwj9zs czyli "oh and I" tylko ona tak jakby nosowo to śpiewała i przeciąga…
Which of the two contradictory statements have you just answered in the affirmative? 1.The progressive is a stativizer. 2.It makes the nature of a stative verb dynamic when a stative is used in the …
The continuous tense form, in addition to other functions it serves, is a stativizer: it takes a verb (any verb) and makes a state out of it. (...) But the power of the progressive is enough to cha…
(1)The story happened to me one really hot summer about five years ago. (2) It's probably the worst thing that's ever happened to me while driving a car. (See note 1). (3) I had bought/boug…
@Jansky Or am I terribly wrong? No, you are not terribly wrong. You are just a little bit wrong when you write (typing is writing, isn’t it?) that that’s how you would say it (again?) should you be g…
In Argentina they often use mango but I also heard mosca and cobre . They use American slang words for money/ currency, like bucks, moolah, dough, dead presidents and probably a few others. I always …
"I told you it would be be a beautiful day when Tom came back" Tom's coming back was meant to overlap (or be simultaneous with) its being a beautiful day. Cf: It will be a beautiful …
It was fine until Mr. Perfectski turned up ;-) It wasn't fine. Dig it, drill it, and kill it: I have an umbrella with me in case of rain. I have an umbrella with me in case it rains. I have an …
...Ostatnio wpadlo mi: 1. This is not my first rodeo - staram sie tego uzywac, bo to mowi wszystko. 2. I've been round the block a few times. Those “sayings” do not mean everything. They mean …
"jest "oh I" lub coś podobnego ale ja słyszę całkiem coś innego. " …, and I, (‘n’eye) I won’t give you up……
It’s an emphatic do or in case of singular third person, does. ..., and in the case of the singular third person ... for Pete's sake!…
A redundant “of“ in all kinds of locutions popular among the baseball crowd some forty (or more) years ago surfaced on TV broadcasts and started the plague: ....it won’t be that long of a speech, tha…
“You told me you would drive me to the concert” or “You told me you will drive me to the concert”? “I just said I was a writer” or “I just said I am a writer”? Yesterday I took a cab back to the hote…
…laczymy tutaj two steps into one… ludzie maja z tym ongoing problem. Polish and English words (and beliefs) never commingle well.…
I would like to gain practical experience as an intern at your company You don’t really want to be an experienced apprentice at XYZ or elsewhere, do you? Get rid of “as an intern”; they’ll know what…
It was really more of a comment than a question. Read: …a comment rather than a question. Jet travel has made moving from place to place less of an ordeal. Read: …easier. Getting tickets for Tuesday …
Here is what I mean: Jesli chce zapytac jak duzo ziemniakow zjesz a one sa mashed to co mam zrobic? How much or how many? How will the language respond to that trap? Opening the crisper in the fridge…
The essence of the issue is how the language would react with much or many to the mash with plural verb. What do you mean? too much car or too much of a car for Grandma? “…too much of a car” is a …
(Being friends is) more than just a (whole) lot. Keep it simple. Less is more. No men’s locker-room parlance. No bad asses. And no big things either. Two mash(ed) potatoes is a lot of mash(ed) pot…
No such doctors in the States :) "Pigs can fly" is a licit generic sentence. A doctor/doctors must like people is a very general statement… That’s what generic statements are all about. I…
I'm wondering about "the readers". It seems to me that it might work too (meaning that we're talking about a specific group of readers - those who will read the sentence). Please…
@Janski "Is it okay to say "a reader" in this context?" Yes, either "a reader" or "readers" would be O.K.…
I am looking for a new family doctor The doctor must like children, otherwise it won't work. Czyli musisz miec zdanie wprowadzajace. That doesn’t work either. Here “the doctor” refers to an i…
Pytanie czy w pierwszym zdaniu The doctor też byłoby ok? If it is a stand-alone sentence, I say no. For a sentence to be interpreted as generic, the mandatory reference set to be characterized over…
In British English (and nowhere else?), when classes stop at schools or colleges, you could say “We break up for holidays.” Everywhere else (?) we break for lunch or the summer (vacation), and have …
Witam Pisze tutaj bo nie wiem co jest źle w tym zdaniu: It was used to dissuade the presumed interactant who has a different opinion from the speaker. Czy potrzebna jest inna forma gramatyczna? The g…
Stars of The Night, czy The Stars of The Night? If you mean to write about those who star in a specific gala (concert or show, or a series of such occasions), then definitely “The Stars of the Night…
First say "a wave of fear" in a reasonable sentence. Then you could reduce it to a "fear wave" for short in the following articulations if you really want to.…
