| #1. I am in London. #2. I am at London in U.K. Are these correct? | |
 | mizansinha007 If I am not mistaken, If there are two place in a sentence, That time we use "in" before big place & "at" before the small place.
e.g I live at Paris in France.
When should we use "at" And "in" before place? Thanks | |
 | Stoyanov I think you should use "in" in both of your example. I am in London in the UK. (you don't need the dots after U and K)
You can also say "I am in the UK, in London." Stating the country first and then the city sounds better in my opinion.

I understood it. | |
vsuresh commented on their own question. | Hi Please help me with the meaning of the highlighted portion.. Gosh: a mild expression of surprise or enthusiasm as to be put in place of 'God', particularly in fear of saying Lord's name in vain. | |
 | Philip The highlighted refers to not wanting to swear, curse, using God's name. | |
| vsuresh I understood. Thank you, Philip. | |
| 1. Tell me who she is. 2. Tell me who is she. Q) I've absolutely sure about the order like "who she is" that comes after some sentence like #1 because I've learned and always heard sentences like #1. But I've recently heard from some native ... | |
 | fivejedjon moon7296the difference is whether a speaker... Not quite. It's whether the speaker chooses to construct the question in the form of what we call a direct or indirect question. In neither case is the speaker 'indirectly' asking. ... | |
 | moon7296 Ok. Thank you for correcting that part.
Then the difference between #1 and #2 can occur in intonation too, right?
Is the intended intonation like the below?
1. Tell me who she IS.
2. Tell me who is she. | |
| CalifJim moon72961. Tell me who she is.2. Tell me who... 0. Who is she?

2. Semi-indirect question (construction).
Native speakers use 0 and 1 regularly, ... | |
CalifJim replied to an anonymous question. | "Could" is the past form of "can". but actually, "could" is usually used not for past but present conditional more often.
