Re: Eve!! is she a symbole of females in English?

khoff — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 23:04:48 GMT

Oh. Context always helps us give better answers. Evesplace.com would be a reasonable name for a website for women. (It should really be "Eve's place," but I don't suppose you can have an apostrophe in a web address.)

Surely not!

This is for people who grade, practice for or who have taken the FCE. In other forum, I saw this advice posted to someone who had written a draft paragraph: Hey, its not too bad but you should use more colloquial expresions like wanna, gotta, kinda etc. and i wouldnt use expresions like could, would because in my opinion its too formal. You can also use more colloquial words, there are a lot of websites, just use google :) And dont forget that you dont want to be like other FCE participants, you want to capture FCE commission In a later post in the same thread, he says, And as I said you can say instead of I am -> I'm or as soon as possible-> a.s.a.p. The more colloquial grammar and words you learn, the...

The personality test that I took is the Big Five Inventory. I took this test online on November 11, 2009. The website where the test is located is funeducation.com . The reason why I chose this test is very simple to understand. The Big Five Inventory personality test was the only test that I found online where I didn't have to pay. Other personality tests required a payment before one could the test. The Big Five Inventory test consists of forty- four questions. For each question, I was asked whether I agreed, disagreed, strongly disagreed, or strongly agreed on different activities. The test was very easy, and it only took thirty minutes to complete.

I was wondering... Is the expresson to make friends from all over the world ok in Enlglish? I see it all the time here, it's the most common thing learners seem to say, but... If you google "make friends from", Englishforums happens to be in the first page, which is weird, you know. Either Englishforums is now among the best websites to make friends, or it is among the best sources of weird English. Thanks.

Can someone please highlight or correct the grammar mistakes in my research paper. Please and thank you

I've searched via a couple of online Shakespeare search engines, which seem to be representing all his works (not just the plays) and this quote isn't turning up anywhere. The only place I see it is innumerable wine websites, where of course it's attributed to "William Shakespeare." There's also some discussion of the quote in Smallville dialogue.

Rules for using 'that' in a sentence.

s.p.i. — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 03:34:18 GMT

Hi there, I tried looking up the rules for using 'that' in a sentence. I understand it's mainly used to combine two clauses. I don't understand the specific rules though; a lot of sentences look like they'd work fine with 'which' as well.. For example: I'd buy the music which has the most features. (this sentence borders on fine, although I am sure it's not really correct) THIS LOOKS FINE TOO: I'd buy the music player that has the most features. MORE IMPORTANTLY WHY NOT JUST SAY: I'd buy the music player with the most features. I'd really appreciate it if someone could explain the rules for using 'that'. I tried looking it up on various websites, but the...

Re: We lived in Ireland for five years

dimsumexpress — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 00:52:13 GMT

Sorry to butt in like this. I'm sure Clive will give his expert advice but let me try to explain it the way I see it (from a non native speaker's point of view). Regarding the New York sentence, since both the living/working occur at the same time I see no reason for using the past perfect in combination with the simple past as the two suggest different times. I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai. The past perfect is needed here regardless of the time word 'before' . It has to do with 'the PP have never seen' put in the past (up until some point in the past as opposed to up until now) . I did not have any money because I had lost my wallet. Tony knew...

Say Froggy Jump!

laumont — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:21:12 GMT

Hello, I would like to know the meaning of the phrase "(when I) say froggy, jump". Does it come from a traditional children song or game? I found it on http://www.wrensworld.com/froggyjump.htm . But I also found "say froggy" alone in different websites. Actually I am trying to understand the sencond line of the following stanza of a poem by Harryette Mullen: "sepia bronze mahogany say froggy jump salty jelly in a vise buttered up broke ice" I know that "jump salty" is an African American slang that means "to suddenly become angry". But I am still trying to figure out the possible meanings (and the source of) "say froggy". ...

If you didn't want the title page could you instruct it to print from Page 2 to Page 6? Simpler still: Save As RTF, Open it in Word and delete the Title page. At the time a lot of people were fighting it. And Final Draft, on their website, acknowledged the problem and even had a "fix" for the problem. I was using Windows, maybe the other people were too. There were instructions on how to "not print" the title page, but following those instructions wouldn't change anything. It would still print at least when you were printing to PDF. (I never tried any other printing method.) I was screwing...

Under "Washington County" they have this listing: "Twp 19: 2 registered voters". The polls closed yesterday evening. It's 11:20 am, of the next day, in Maine. There's a maximum number of two voters.

You could say, "It is their website." Or "When I visited their website it (the website) was... (whatever)"
