Re: To make / have made it

tinanam0102 — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:30:02 GMT

Dear Avangi, Thanks for the explanation. In "Scots are standing up for the freedom to have made it", is my understanding correct if I break down the time line for the sentence? 1st part of the sentence: Scots are standing up for the freedom ( sometime around the present time .) 2nd part of the sentence: to have made it ( sometime before the present, near present time .) Then why isn't "Scots were standing up for the freedom to have made it." I can't quit get this. Thank you. Regards, Tinanam

Re: kind regards or kindly regards??

trysb — Thu, 26 Nov 2009 01:10:48 GMT

Hi Anon, You are perfectly correct--kindly can be used as adjective and adverb: A kindly gentleman, asked me to kindly help him up the stairs. Myself, i would send kind regards , but kindly regards would no doubt be just as pleasant to the recipient. Sometimes language is all about what you grew up with. Getting your meaning into another person's ear is the important part, not adhering to the rules of grammar. Best wishes, TrysB

Re: For clause

Re: Should vs if

dokterjokkebrok — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 08:19:30 GMT

Hi Both if-clause constructions in sentence #1 and #2 are possible I think. The first sentence is a regular if-clause. The second one starts with a modal verb, which comes from the full construction 'If there should be any...'. That's OK, but they don't have similar same meanings. Should stresses the fact that the condition stated after it is less likely to happen than the condition/situation after 'if' in the first sentence. So by using 'should' here, you modify the sense of probability/likelihood. I think there's another problem, however. Because you use a present tense finite verb, 'become', in the first sentence I think your second finite verb, which is 'would', ought to be...

soprano — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 12:56:57 GMT

Great Clive! You´re right. I was refering to sentences like the last two. And I found that you added a ,(comma) in number 3 examples. So if I happen to see sentences like this: "On Saturdays I go to the park", I have to add the comma, right? Last question. In number 2, I could also right "I go shopping all weekends". This one is right, isn´t it? Thank you for your detailed explanation. Now I find this clearer. Regards, Soprano

Re: Easiest language

dokterjokkebrok — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 18:40:40 GMT

Hi I don't think there is such a thing as 'an easiest language'. All languages, including English, have sides to it that are difficult and/or easy, comparatively speaking. You could argue however that foreign languages akin to your own mother tongue are usually easier to comprehend than languages that are not. For example, my mother tongue is Dutch. My country, which is The Netherlands, borders with Germany in the east, German was a compulsary subject during my secondary school period, and German comes from the same branch of languages as Dutch – as goes for English. So naturally I have a great advantage over, say, a Chinese learner of German. It's all relative. Kind regards Dokterjokkebrok

Re: Metaphor

dokterjokkebrok — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:11:03 GMT

I'd say it's meant symbolically and methaphorically in the first place. Naturally, however, it was quite a tragic event, and many people lost their lives during the trek. So yes, probably many people mourned for the dead, and tears were shed out of grievous losses, but I don't think there are any similarities between this and Hans and Gretel. Kind regards Dokterjokkebrok

Re: Questions using "be" and "do"

dokterjokkebrok — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:48:05 GMT

Hi If you're making questions out of normal sentences, you simply have to look at the verbs that are in it. It's not difficult to find out. I am tall. --> Am I tall? (if the verb 'to be' (am,are,was,were) is the only verb form in the sentence, use ' be ' . I smell something. --> Do I smell something (if there's only one verb and that verb is not 'to be', use 'do'. I have been a good boy. --> Have I been a good boy? (In all other cases, there is more than one verb in the sentence. Always use the first verb you come across, starting from the left.) Kind regards Dokterjokkebrok

First of all, when I hear the word moderator, I think of the word pressure. I can only assume that as a moderator one you must be under a lot of pressure. I've had my fair share of pressure over the past few fews years , whether it was working in an office where I had to satisfy the client ' s demands or working at a fast food chain where client interaction during rush hour , for instance , was one of the main aspects of the job.

What concerns me, my friend, is that you persist in advancing a number of terms and probably self-made rules which are fallacious at their very core, since they contain controversial and largely scholastic judgements about the language on a purely theoretical level (as opposed to the practical sinchronical level, with which the present forum is mostly concerned).
