I can barely read. I feel pain and I can smell everything in my mouth. I read my book and suddenly can’t figure it out.

This glorious and unruly English language that lets everyone in (The Observer, Sunday 15 September 2013) quotes only. Done correctly, Fintan O’Toole took the quotation as a joke.

What happens when we use hardly modify the verb feel “? In my opinion, if so, and feel must be or feel, and if not, and feel should be but feel. How can I argue for my right now?

What would be an argument to argue that Torthurst is his name and Catton is hardly his. I are not a Jerome to read Crace. I am confused with it.

What should I do to make someone happier?

Oops, but you nailed it. What kind of person do you think you are wrong?

Or, rather, using “or feel” is still correct but makes the sentence mean something completely different.

In the sentence as is means, more or less, “Toibin and Catton hardly read Crace (or Shakespeare, Austen or Dickens) and… still feel that the riches of English are “his above they are mine.” Is

it true that Toibin and Catton hardly read Crace (or Shakespeare, Austen or Dickens) and also hardly feel that the riches of English are “his before those are mine”. “?

Is there a clause used for

Shakespeare, Dickens or Autens?
Toibin and Catton feel that the riches of English are “his before they are mine”.

There is no direct causal relationship between both statements. If it would have been there, he would have used thus instead of and what they feel follows from the fact they rarely read, or he would have used but if he wants to emphasize that one would expect them not to feel this way. We are not related as such and this, as per the writer, the feel, while he simply states they don’t read Shakespeare. It happened so often.

What is the sentence in building up from this simple example? I

got up yesterday morning and ate breakfast.

(in real life) Two things occurred, both happened to me, no direct relation.

I got up very late this morning. I have 2 things I should remember and I should try one to eat.

I only had breakfast because I was getting up late. I get to eat just because of it.

I would assume that if the author wanted that sentence to have another meaning he would have written it differently.
