  • This one, although I’m a classical teacher (in school). Professor of Classics at university, (Professor has a different meaning in the US compared with the UK). University of California, Los Angeles, 1977. A particular person

    may have a specific job title: Professor Mary Beard. Professor of Classics, New York University. Professor Lewis Fraser-Harper Professor of Classics (Brigham);

    Professor Agustin Groot Professor Simon Goldhill. Professor of Greek literature and culture; Fellow and Director of Studies in Classics at King’s College;

    However the basis of most classical education is the study of the Latin Language, so “Latin teacher” is how such a person would probably be known at school. Even if they teach classical Civilia or Greek, basic Latin is also the core of their job.

  • Asked on March 26, 2021 in American english.

    This is deliberately archaic, stately, formal and weird and contains a hidden insult. How we speak and what we expect today? Not only is it over complex “bids you welcome” instead of “welcomes you”, it uses the old first person singular objective form “thee”.

    Grammatically it is similar to “If it were that bad morning”

    and normally you don’t say that either either.

  • Asked on March 26, 2021 in Grammar.

    You give a time phrase “A couple months ago”. Use past tense if you specified a time. We should start from the past when the word “we started” is past tense. What’s the purpose of a phrase? Is it the only time in the past?

    If a time expression is done without using it, you can also use past tense or perfect tense. Both are equally correct. The past tense refers to a past action. How do you read perfect statement “We’ve started rehearsing again”?

    “We’ve been started” is a passive form. What does it mean when something triggers something? What makes sense in context?

  • Do people find these sentences true?

    Is “(should) not be) awarded medals” the intended meaning of the first phrase? For the second, “but (should be) punished” is understood how for the second. The contrast implied by “but” and the context makes the second sentence clear.

  • Is a noun phrase a subject of our sentence? What is a clause, and how does it represent a word?

    The noun phrase has a noun “the way” and a relative clause; “we are learning english” is the relative clause, it describes the noun “way”. How are we learning English?

    The word “is” is the main verb and “not good” is an adjective and complement of the subject. When the number number

    is “S”, the total number is 500. In English The word “s” as in “is” is the verb.

  • Asked on March 17, 2021 in Grammar.

    As a sentence, it isn’t. What source gives it as an example of an infinitive phrase? What is an example of a particularly long and complex infinitive phrase?

    The verb is “to gulp” but there is no finite verb. Rather than an adjective, the whole sentence functions like a noun. Long phrases know about their importance, but could easily be confused with short one-liner phrases, and could become lost in translation.

    Why don’t we change the sentence gulp the glass as a subject?

    I like the past tense, don’t use other tenses but if you are inclined to practice other tenses and use some unusual tenses as an example, I probably will be right. How do you make a sentence change the meaning?

    There are plenty of infinitive phrases used in English.

  • Asked on March 15, 2021 in Grammar.

    (To a Dictionary) is “Similar enough to something as to become it” ((Miss : “similar enough to a very large molecule)”. Is it generally used in a pattern “X is so Y as to be Z”?

    That capillaries are the smallest blood veins, and capillaries of power is a metaphor, power is imagined to be flowing into every part of society like that blood flow from a heart to the smallest muscle. Innocuous means “having no harmful effect”. My interpretation of your statement is correct.

  • Asked on March 14, 2021 in Grammar.

    What do you mean by “two items”? In most situations, whether the items in the list are plural or not, this would be my choice when I have to come up with the answer correctly.

    I recognize that “knowledge and experience” includes both personal experience and business experience. In a few instances, you might use “is” if I consider the above mentioned examples as one thing.

    Knowledge

    and Experience are two different experiences the research and

    experience are seen as an important asset in today’s knowledge-based economy. In conclusion Knowledge and experience are two different perceptions The first study and experience were the original research and are not the last. What is knowledge and

    experience? Knowledge is power, and knowledge and experience are two different things.

    In the last example, the author uses “is” because he wants to consider “knowledge and experience” as a single property that you may have. When a person

    is an unusual person that is less common, that makes them more rarer.
