  • I found that tool neither in the kitchen nor in

    bathroom. Why?

    What is unusual in this sentence is the use of a comma in the last sentence. If a comma is used in a sentence without a comma, the sentence is true, but it will obviously be wrong. Why does a comma separate two independent clauses? If you combine that subject with the concept of elision, and the third sentence could actually

    be interpreted as “I can’t find the tool, it is neither in the kitchen nor in the bathroom”

    I love double sentence and would either use semicolon or a one sentence sentence. If a sentence is interpreted that way, then it only has a minor punctuation issue, while the use of ‘neither’ and ‘nor’ is actually correct.

    In describing your situation, he’s called the cops—but the show hasn’t begun yet.

    What do you want to express as literally two different

    1. things?
    2. In the future, she tells of the book “The Hunger Games”.

    First is in present tense and second is in past tense (Iaml)?

    Is this an ungrammatical letter He

    called the cops on the stage, before the actual show starts?

    If we are given the verb “he calls on the cops” before a show begins,

    in the present tense “but which is better, the first verb, and the first verb in the past” then it is to a verb “he calls the cops”?

    Does your grammatical sense of the situation are wrong?

    What is the meaning of this sentence?

    It is also grammatical, but it’s not clear if the show has yet to start, or if it’s already started, when the sentence is uttered. It’s not what you want anymore.


    If you have to make a sentences complicated by a conjunction, then turn it into two clauses with a conjunction. He called

    the cops on us, (and / but) the show hasn’t started yet

    Why This is grammatical and natural, but conveys the meaning you want—even though it loses some of the simplicity of any of the Single Clause sentences. What can be said upon learning an event has transpired? What is the natural use of started here than begun?

  • Asked on July 18, 2021 in Grammar.

    What does my thing mean?

    While I feel as if it’s more common for each person to have that single “thing,” I imagine some people could have more than one “thing,” and refer to them in the plural.

    Is the question ambiguous over underlined trump assumption? Do people consider themselves to have only one thing?

    Why do I find some other aspect of the sentence odd.

    Why is saying “i like pizza” more common than saying “i like pizza”? ” Unless somebody is pointing out a specific countable number, it’s more often used as a mass noun and not a nutrient.

    Which article would it be easier to read in front of cosmos than not?

    What if we discussed pizza, unicorns, and the cosmos, which is ours?


    How do I keep my things under control: Pizza, unicorns, and cosmos?

    After how many “things” do we have, both sentences are correct.


    Is it possible to design a unicorn as a pizza?

    I’m famous in pubs for getting drunk and passing out. How can I stop these habits? (FOR the record, I am not… I am an identifier, and my… life.) In my mind and everybody else’s mind, these three things are closely related.

    Doing that at one time is my thing? What is this??? Goeing out, getting drunk, passing out. I do terribly! Why I have a sequence of events?

    How is pizza associated with unicorns and the universe? Not everyone has heard of the video where the context is not there yet.

    How would you explain the beauty of the cosmos without stating what is the mystery behind it? (Again for the record, I don’t..) As with the other example, doing that is my. one thing. We

    are married. We have two children. (They both love different things.)
