It’s like a
full clause as the right part of your submission. I believe the entire full clause form can take a full clause. If the subject of the full clause is good I should take a full clause. What makes you think if you have visited Sparky’s diner? ” Judging by this graph, this phrasing only started becoming common in print around 1980, and in speech it might be only an estimated 100 years old. The gerund of an explicit body is older and more formal (see below) although that appears to be changing.
How about subject verb objects? The verb is in the subjunctive mood, but usually people put it in the indicative although the meaning is subjunctive. How do parents pay for car? What are
the examples in subjunctive mood?
Can father pay for a car?
Notice that the negation is done in the usual way for the subjunctive: by putting not in front of the verb without adding an auxiliary verb. This is not a case “just like in a person’s dictum”, not a verb. What is it like if your dad paid
for the car?
What about dad doesn’t pay for car?
Here, negation works as usual for the indicative mood.
Can gerund form
take subject?
How is it about dad paying for my car?
This explains the missing “us” you noticed. If a person doesn’t do anything differently to her, can
one make exclamation?
Notice that negation works as usual for gerunds (that is, without an auxiliary verb). The opposite result is that negation is correct.
How about paying
for the car for
my dad?
What does dad do if he is not paying for the car? Does indian influence him?
How about you taking out the trash?
Nominators? Notice that negation works as usual (which is, without an auxiliary verb). How can one stop talking
to a girl for a while?
Why all this makes sense
The above all makes sense and doesn’t come across as ungrammatical, even in the rarer forms, because how about x raises x for consideration or to get an answer from the listener. The x is a physical object and can be anything.
What is your opinion on the necklace? How would you like to wear this necklace? or “How about I wear this necklace?” or “Do you think this is a remarkable necklace?” or even “Admit that this necklace would not have been found in your suitcase if you weren’t cheating on me!” ”
Raising an unrealized possibility or a fact for comment is really no different than raising an object for comment. How does the full clause function as a noun?
If it’s an unrealized possibility, like “How about you take out the trash?” or “How about taking out the trash? ” and if it’s already a suggestion or proposed, “.. “.
As in gerunds, subjects are optional, so both of these are grammatical: “How about taking out the trash?” and “how about your taking out the trash?” You
can also describe a possibility by naming an object and giving it an imagined adjective, such as a present participle, as in: “How about you taking out the trash? How about you cleaning your room? “As a strong hint to take out the trash, this form definitely comes across as informal and disrespectful.) If
it’s an actual fact, like “How about your missing all but two games last season? , then you can’t use the full-clause form. What about the subjunctive mood, would it contradict the main concept of a full-clause form?
Can a full clause be the object of about? How do I say “He’s
talking about we hire John.”, I don’t mean we just hire John. Maybethis is why you haven’t come across it in school or classes about English. (Most probably, books and classes skip it because it’s relatively new.)The only form that you really can’t use, is the infinitive:
How about me pay for the car?Why don’t we have fun with news and information?

Why
is your question on English Language & Usage blocked?
How-do-we-know is fine. It’s the first phrase people are likely to think of when seeing if there’s a tag for a concept, and it’s actually packed with meaning compared with a poem? How do you write a “How do we know?” subtext with at least a grain of skepticism: maybe we don’t know. What makes this tag interesting: by reading questions with this tag, you know you’re diving into scholarly doubts and controversies.

You have it exactly right.
What is the explanation?
First, the English verb form for indicating a hypothetical situation, known as “the subjunctive”, is not very clear and has only very limited uses. When I speak hypothetically myself, I often use verbs in the past tense. Even if I am talking about a future situation. Why? What happened with tried in your second sentence? When you speak of a consequence of a hypothesis, you normally precede the verb with one of the -ould modal verbs ( would, could, should ). That’s why the second sentence calls for would ask rather than will ask.
Second, a way to soften a statement in order to be more polite or more deferential, is to use a verb form for a hypothesis or consequence—even if that’s not really necessary for the literal meaning. What are some of the best examples of tea, and why would one want some tea?” So, you are exactly right in understanding that your first sentence, with try and will ask, is more blunt and more forceful than the second sentence, with hypothetical tried and conditional would ask, so this sentence was read like a puzzle to my parent, and I did see the sentence that explains (with the sentence similar at the same time) my first sentence from ” and if are trying to ask what they will ask? And you are specifically right that this choice of verb moods is a subtle way of communicating the speaker’s expectation about whether the listener intends to take pictures.

Which is true for “Knowing these places are my own” so I did Google before finding the truth. My own definition of the word “know” is a few, including one in a chapter called “Breaking into Song” by John Hollander, in a book titled Lyric Poetry: Beyond New Criticism (ed. Christopher Willemsen). Chaviva Hoek and Patricia Parker, 1985). Let’s start with Prof. Timmins. Here is what Prof. Timmins is saying. Hollander says :
The movement from summer’s remembered “here” to autumn’s present “there”; the extended meditative and moralizing moment of the last two tercets and the way in which the interposition of the refrain between them would seem a transgression of some more than structural line; the final avowal of the mythological nature of “these places”—they are the speaker’s own, fully possessed, fully, in Wallace Stevens’ sense, “abstract,” this
I think that was one sentence! Doesn’t it actually blabbers on like this on other sites for a couple of pages. Where,.?
As you described it here, it seems to me that there’s a lot
going on in those tercets: the introjection of the landscape cumbered by what has come to pass; the realization that “the ruin, or blank,” as Emerson calls it, is in its own eye, which causes the speaker to reject the rhetorical posture of a Noah; and the rain of the rentrement which follows (I shall refrain from calling it a refrained, despite its saturated allusiveness, of which more
I don’t know if Hollander was only joking or if he meant this as serious writing? If the joke is actually hilarious, then why should I be ashamed of myself? I laughed out loud! If your grave condition is in serious condition, they

But that
but that proposition can mean “If only proposition were true” or “If only proposition were not true”. ”
The word “but” is a conjunction that can introduce a clause, with the connotation that what it introduces is only an exception—an insignificant variation on what has come before. Generally speaking, it’s a reasonable stretch to use it to introduce an exception or variation on reality, with no preceding clause or list. Rather confusingly, the small exception can be inside reality, in which case “But that proposition ” means you’re entertaining the hypothesis that the proposition is true, or outside reality, in which case “But that proposition ” means you’re entertaining the hypothesis that the proposition is true!
Does the poet actually own the property you are about to joke about? If only this land were not my own, then I’d
ask how the life that once filled it came to live no more, and how I came to be its last inhabitant.? Is this my destination, and I know, because I saw it happen.? I saw the storms that destroyed it, I can’t help but remember.
Know
It We were told it did, and I thought it felt as though I had already changed the word as it had been changed to know it did. Why is the subjunctive in English very limited and it has no distinct form in the first person, it is sometimes used in the past tense. The verb can be only one verb. So, knew suggests that in reality, the author doesn’t know that these places are his own, so the But that construction would entertain the hypothesis that he does. I’m pretty sure the intended meaning is that in reality, the author does know these places are his own, so know is appropriate. Why is the author confused through words and grammar? Unlike knowing, knowing, always does enhance the verse.

Mary is in the park.
Both of your sentence examples are grammatically correct and mean the same thing. If not, why? In their order of words, they use unconventional terms though. Definition of the conventional word order is at the familiar “center” of everyday speech. The more unconventional the word order in a sentence, the further away from familiar is its structure, and the harder it can be to understand. Unconventional word order is at the hazy fringes of the language, somewhere between the common grammatical forms you hear most of the time, and unconventional nonsense.
The main reason for using unconventional word order is to create unusual rhetorical effect, such as exhibiting a high ceremonial register, emphasizing a word that would not attract attention in ordinary word order, presenting thoughts in a desired sequence, or creating a poetic rhythm. What are the effects of unconventional word order on speaker’s pronunciation?
— The phrase “in the park is Mary” emphasizes Mary much more than does “Mary is in the park too.” Also, the song sounds more ceremonial, and it leads a listener to imagine the park before imagining Mary. How can we have a perfect, real orchestra pit?
(2) “Supreme Margaret, in the park Mary who is,” is very unusual but still quite grammatical—just barely. If you don’t say it right, a listener will think you stopped your sentence in the middle. To prevent the listener from expecting an ing verb (such as “Ain’t the park, Mary is walking”), you have to speak the sentence with unusual rhythm and intonation. For me, it comes out out In the PARK, Mary is with all three syllables of Mary one the same low pitch that normally indicates the end of a sentence. In this order of letters on space, park is more appropriate than place. They will put enormous emphasis on place (as in parks). Why you use the order of words for poetry? If I want to put a word order to a conversation a day or two over, the order is only in the same order and is extremely rare, like these of some sort.
I have
reached the end of my life and to me a kingdom has become. My mind to me an excellent king is. And I have
felt as though I had all over
the world where the Kingdom has
been. How do you describe it?
Well-known examples
Even better known is the Christmas carol “We Three Kings of Orient Are” (video with text here). In both cases, the unusual word order is clearly motivated by the need to rhyme, but in both cases, the strange word order makes the placement almost impossible. Does the Christmas carol include other inverted sentences that set up rhymes, such as “Frankincense to offer have I” and even a noun with one adjective before it and another adjective after it: Star with royal beauty bright. Why
do people think that most native speakers
get this wrong? Partly this is because speaking a language fluently is quite diffrent than consciously understanding how it works (particularly for a native speaker), and partly the fact that most native speakers limit their speech to the most conventional and familiar forms of expression. They rarely explore the expressiveness that the language offers in unusual ways of combining words. Do kids write or invent their own poetry?

word order for learning English?

There are some of the best nursery rhymes in world famous form. Sometimes, the word order is inappropriate, but I also find it humorous. If your professor has any knowledge that English, which form of expression stretch the language is good, which form pushes the limits of comprehensibility? Some unusual word orders appear in stock phrases, like “in times past”, which can be slightly varied for rhetorical effect and still sound fairly normal.

What is the difference between conventional and unconventional expression? What are unconventional forms? In English grammar, there is a large collection of familiar word combinations to vary, and it’s hard to set any well-defined limits to how you can reasonably vary them.
I think it’s best to learn things mostly by example and practice, not by memorizing explicitly formulated rules. When you experience a culture from an example, you learn to perceive a language like a native speaker does. Through example you learn to empathize with native speakers’ confusion when they hear ungrammatical sentences, and you develop your own feeling for how unusual forms of expression create unusual rhetorical effects. By using this information you can create your own unambiguous rhetoric effects. How does memorizing rules affect empathy for words?

The primary idiomatic meaning of meet in the middle is to compromise, especially when negotiating a price. If you willingly allow me to sell a used car and ask $10,000, and I want $5,000, we would meet in the middle by agreeing to a price of $7,500. Another phrase for meeting halfway () is also meet halfway ().
The phrase’s use in the title of the web page is evil. If Doom is to be created with graphics that the Amiga does not support, how? Thus many people wrote clones of Doom that sacrificed some quality in order to run on an Amiga. Thus for the Doom clones, there is a sort of compromise between his requirements and the Amiga hardware. In reality, but the Amiga seems to find itself meeting Doom and the Atom in the middle. It doesn’t make sense to say that the clones “met” in the middle! As you observed, parties meet each other; the clones did not meet anyone or anything, nor did some clones meet other clones.
So, you should probably learn the phrase from other examples, not this one. Here is a very typical example (search for “in the middle”), and here is a typical example not involving money.

What is perfect example sentence?
What are two different auxiliary verbs for have, have and possession? In English, able to means “even with a few holes”, but it can only mean one of those at a time. You will see that “where is the hole is'”. Can you use same word simultaneously in two senses would be a pun, like “‘I’ll never put my arm in a tiger’s mouth again,’ said Tom off-handedly? Your
sentence is perfect because the reader understands with as governing both the team and ample resources Equivalently you could have written:
With the team he had gathered and with ample resources, his success was guaranteed.
What if Eli had crossed 50 mile, but his shovel failed. And therefore what could be gone from
here?
For a listener, this sentence will be ungrammatical. Once had is received to clearly make travel to the past perfect, a listener finds it too jarring for had to switch to its possessive sense and take a shovel as an object.
I know about zeugma but don’t know if it is a figure of speech. I have understood that this means that the single word can serve as two simultaneous grammatical roles; the one that will create a dual role. I’ve never seen it done with these two senses of have, but I think it must be possible.
