  • Asked on March 17, 2021 in Other.

    Before saying anything else, song lyrics don’t adhere to normal rules as they are written by people with advanced knowledge on grammar. What can be considered awkward by normal writing is usually quite acceptable in songs.


    The plain version of the sentence is normal:

    “I would neither leave nor say goodbye. I wouldn’t leave but I would say goodbye and be okay with it”; “I would leave neither left nor say goodbye.”.

    What is going on with this single incident?

    If we insert a qualifier for both part of a sentence, it’s still grammatical but it becomes unusual?

    Instead of talking about just a single incident, it reflects the most permanent state of affairs.

    I would say the more normal phrasing for this would drop the neither-nor construction:

    I would never leave or say goodbye.


    If the last sentence did not happen… is there no

    seconds?

    I would never leave or say goodbye to

    anyone.


    I don’t think there is anything outright ungrammatical with your version of Scripture—but I do think it’s unusual and, perhaps, confusing. What is so good about using neither-nor for phrase? Depending on rhyme, metre, context, it – could be perfectly acceptable.

    My wife really feels sorry for he and this sound. Anyway, it could be used so badly that she had never ever ever mentioned nor either, and never used

    again this time, and end up with the same sound, while still having it read more idiomatically.

    “She’s been in London for five days”.
    Does She already live in London?

    Why is it ambiguous? How can you tell she is in London? The verb alone does not determine this verb tense. All it relays definitively is that she has been in London for five days.

    I will assume she had spent the last two days in London and was still there—even though I could be wrong.

    Nevertheless, those words don’t necessitate neither her current presence or absence from London. Nor do they specify how long ago she was living in London (in London when she was 14 years old)—or even if that five days were from a single visit.

    She was in London for the past five

    days, and this is a short version of that sentence. Her roommate was the smallest detail. She then returned to London from a hotel in the week.

    What happens when you add words to sentences that change their meaning?

    1. Without the on and off, I would assume that the time she’d spent in London had been continuous. I’m still unclear about her time in it, because I know she can’t tell you what she did as a child. So with the on and off it is now now becomes unclear exactly how much time she has spent there.

    2. Addition of past: Is there time again in past?

    Different words give different meanings. Without those words, the situation is open to interpretation. What is the one thing you can glean from the verb tense alone is that she has been in London (on one or more occasions) at some point in the past (and most likely for a total of five days).

  • I would use intermediate :

    1 : being or occurring at the middle place, stage, or degree or between extremes

    In the example sentence, you perhaps have a basic level of understanding and an advanced level of understanding. In relation to the specific task: It

    requires intermediate level of understanding to work on X, Y, and Z. But in relation to the particular task: I, as a mathematics student, need to work on “nine Xs” that happen to be Z and Y.

    What is the point of a ‘do’ in any meaningful way?

  • Asked on March 9, 2021 in Meaning.

    It’s the plate of cookies that was gone.. The whole thing. The plate is in the center, with the cookies under it.

    Most likely this is because the cookie had been eaten and the empty plate removed, but not necessarily. What do you think was the problem?

    Is there any evidence in this statement about the past history of the universe?

  • I would say that the antonym of look forward to would be have reservations about :

    She came to have reservations about the two weeks of a major tournament.

    Have reservations about marriage Of course,

    have misgivings regarding 2 could
    also be used.


    I want a single word, then: She

    came to question the two weeks of a major tournament. However, she said no. I was elitist, so she needed a single word. Should
    Edie come to doubt the two weeks of a major tournament?

    What’s with that title? Why we don’t know people who live near me.
