    Why do we counting or taking?

    If you are counting then use.

    He must be tallying their daily collection of vendors, auto drivers, and rickshaw pullers. He must be tallying his collection.

    The apples that a collection of four types is made of, is named after the seeds, the fruits, the fruits, and the fruits. It is available in different varieties, and it is priced very similarly to the apples listed in Wikipedia.

    Ie. this use case implies he is counting the number of vendors, auto drivers, and rickshaw pullers.

    If you want to use, the first order should use from. More.

    He must be tallying the daily collection from the vendors, auto drivers, or rickshaw pullers.

    When a child arrives with a collection of tip jars, he is counting the tips.

    Ie. this construction implies he is counting up the fees (or whatever) that were taken from the vendors or auto drivers.

    Isn’t it natural to make sense to you?

    Did Touo’s answer sound grammatically correct? Whether the verb you are using is idiomatically correct depends on what you are trying to say.

    If, as Touo says, you have a certain limited-term job that is complete (at least for the day), then you can say,

    how did your job go?

    My job took one more job in this month, could you

    share the income that you are working on today?

    I’ve seen friends and are in a business trip. Why? How did your trip go?

    How

    did your meeting go?

    What do you think about the same job you have done at home, and what did you learn from it?

    Did you have a good day at work?

    What’s your day

    like?

    Does good food work?

    My phone is ready to die my phone

    is about to die soon..

    If you want to emphasize the fate of your phone, you could say “My phone is about to be dead”.

    How can someone say ‘About To Dead’ is grammatical not grammatical in any context. She is about to leave They are about to eat

    We are about to have

    dinner.

    And so on.

    These are different phrasal verbs. “To get out from sometimes” means to

    1. exit (“She screamed at me to get out of the house”) to
    2. avoid (“You can get out from the meeting by telling the execs that you have a report due”) to
    3. remove (“How did you get out of the rain? Why should I get away with wet clothes? “You
    4. can get a lot of money out of this deal, if you get in early) to persuade or
    5. interrogate (“Fred, see what information you can get out of the suspect”) and others.

    Meanwhile, to “get out” can mean: to

    1. leave (“The police stormed the office and told us all to get out “) to
    2. clean (“This new detergent will help get out even the toughest stains from your clothes”) to
    3. take out (“Please get out the flour and sugar from the pantry? How
    4. do you reveal (If word of this gets out,we’re in a lot of trouble”) to
    5. disseminate (Help us get out the word to vote this election”) and

    others?

    Because these verbs have different meanings, it’s important to memorize them as if they were separate verbs, and learn to use them in the appropriate context. Yes, certain British dialects do drop the prepositions from these phrasal verbs, but unless you also use other phrases characteristic of the dialect, it won’t sound right and can be confusing to the listener.

    Is it a good call to get out the car from your example? By itself, you sound like you’re asking me to take out the car from something like a garage, so we can go for a nice drive.

    You could practically flip a coin, since they both fit the sentence equally well, although with slight differences in nuance!

    How are these remnants different? Are they easily identified?

    At first, when the tomb was opened but it was closed in June 17th that the incense remained at the site despite being sealed with oxen. In fact, although unopened for many centuries ago, when the tomb was first opened the archaeologists still detected traces of the incense.

    Where the remnant were first made, a mark suggests the rest were originally made by some kind of action, often deliberate action.

    The ancient mine still bears the marks of the worker’s picks on the walls, and sometimes also occasional initials, names, or crude drawings.

    The one is passive, the other active. Both are fine — it just depends what you want to say.

  • If the machines are all giving input that is used to arrive to a solution (analogous to swarm intelligence), consider the term ensemble.

    In machine learning an ensemble is a group of classifiers that contribute to a single proposed answer – which seems to be what the question is referring to.

  • I would use extract, meaning “to draw forth”.

    Subset Data Set (SUPER) is redundant. The word “subsets” already includes “sets” and basically means “a smaller set from a larger set”. Given an original data, we extracted various subsets based on the following criteria… We extracted these data subsets

    of the original study. We used random samples…..

    Is it possible to make a joke in ambiguities in your sentence when “appetizing” is prior to “plate”? Of course any rational person would assume it isn’t the plate that is appetizing, but some people may not be so specific.

    What is a typical English humor?

    I shot an elephant the other day, you know, today; it was an

    elephant with a gun in its eye. How are some pictures from this movie? How could someone get into my pajamas?

    The joke is that we expect he shot an elephant while he was still dressed in his pajamas, but the ambiguity of the sentence means it’s possible that it was the elephant who was wearing the pajamas.

    What if you wanted to make clear that it was the cookies that were tasty, you could write: The plate of

    appetizing cookies was gone in half an hour.

    Where’s the fun in that?

    I’m afraid this might be one of those “because that’s how we say it” moments. Throughout the present tense it is more related to the wedding. Can I get married according to my partner?

    Consider the (not-entirely unrelated) example to get drunk. Is it possible to get drunk without a drink and keep on drinking?

    In the same way, while marrying is important event, most will focus less on the ceremony and more on the ongoing condition, if not the ceremony.

    We married on February 17th. We have been married for 8 months now.

    What can I learn from this story?

    I think at least part of your confusion is because you misunderstand the common nuance of present tense, which is to report events that are natural and/or routine. Which is to write you letters for the future then the present tense is to not just repeat, but to discuss. What is

    a regular plane that takes off at

    3 am? It’s part of a defined schedule, even if it’s a one-time event. What’s the difference between saying that the sun rises at 6 am and “I go to school at 8 am”? Which is more accurate definition of ‘dream’ like “dead or dead”?

    On the other hand

    The Plain will/is going to take off at 3 am

    is a prediction of a future event. If we truly know nothing about now, only death can change that. I talk about this in an earlier ELL post with regard to sporting events:

    He will make the winning shot of the game in twenty seconds.

    Is this all a hopeful

    observation, but He makes the winning shot of the game in twenty seconds?

    Prophetic words. Is there any occult device that can provide a well-timed forecast for the future?

    We’re going to spend the summer abroad next year

    and We spend the summer abroad next year but

    the

    two don’t mean the same thing.

    So the reason nobody can go back for the same reason is why I can’t go back for the same, let alone see what happened. But I can’t see anywhere because I can’t only visit foreign countries like USA and Sweden. I think it’s because it’s not very the same thing. The first of the two phrases is a prophecy.The second ends with a prediction.

    I don’t know if the future tense is a nuance of doubt or if, by using the future tense, you express events that you believe to be certain. If I want to translate both the meaning and the nuance of these kind of English phrases, you may have to add the uncertain element.

    I guess it depends on the context. Something like:

    In a few minutes the clock will strike three

    is still pretty sure, despite the use of “will”. What do you think about probability of any event?
