    What are effective ways of punctuating sentences to avoid ambiguity?

    We are currently

    teaching 1.5 modules: Math and Kunst and History. But what if I don’t choose one module?
    This term I am teaching two modules and they are: ‘Maths’ and ‘Art and History’.
    This term I am teaching Two modules and they are maths and art & history.
    Two modules are taught in this term: art, history and maths. Each module consists of all my material from those two modules. Will I graduate with both the modules at the end of the term?
    This term I am teaching two modules. One is Art, history, maths. The other one is Mathematics.
    Me, I am teaching a Math and Art History module. This term it will be a Maths and an Art Module.

    Are there any false impressions of this article? Do you think we are alone?

    “Thanks for your explanation” in your sentence: “Jay yes” In short phrases, there’s an interchangeability, but they don’t change the phrase meaning. What are some great examples of this phenomenon?

    What is this saying?

    This means that I understand it.

    I am in love with her.

    In this case she and I share a family connection.

    The two concepts are related.

    Some concepts exist but have not. What are they? Unlike people who are related, it’s not a familial bond.

    Without any context, and reading only the subtitle of your question, I would assume that “relate to” means to “understand,” and “be related to” means to be “part of the same family.” But

    within the context of the actual sentence you provided “the meaning of the two phrases is the same—that of concept similarity. ” ”

    It is “A shithole by the sun” whereas “is the sun”?

    Is agent and one subject in a narrative or in a sentence that is understood by and not object (e.g., subject)?

    Is the sound hollow? (If you object to other connotations of subject you’ll have similar objections to patient.) Other


    variations that imply a “role” could be the changed or the affected, but those are not typical uses of the words and adding the definite article in front of them could be considered a kind of cheat.

    Target need not refer to somebody who is negatively affected:

    b : something to be affected by an action or development However, it

    usually is associated with something negative


    How do I use different words in a situation? For instance they are recipients and receivers, and somebody who is hurt is the victim.

    If I improve something, I make it better. I am a stumbling block. What is the opposite of that, break something?

    From among the many senses of Merriam-Webster’s definition of break, are the following: 1e

    : to render inoperable // broke
    his watch 17 :
    to ruin the prospects of // could
    make or break her career As such,

    the software that used to work well could now considered to be broken in terms of practical usefulness..

    What does reversing subject and verb mean? How do I remove the subject from the meaning as a subject?

    What you propose may be helpful in one sense, but not in another. I can imagine somebody saying ‘That went to the store’ and pointing at a person. I get a cold shoulder. On page 4 an important meaning will be understood.

    In the verbal that, with the accompanying finger pointing and tone of disgust, there is an implied judgment that the person in question is somehow less deserving of “personhood” than other people. Do I use “Who” instead of “He” as I have to, or a “friendly” personal pronoun?

    Which brings things back to the commonly assumed difference between who and that, where the latter is used for a subject with consciousness and the latter for one without. Essa is no need for rephrasing when it’s still the same distinction being made anyway. And there is explicit emphasis on that to flag its use as a relative pronoun, asking “That went to the store?” is ungrammatical. So,

    yes. When I am talking about people, I generally use names or a number (no particularity). How is pets portrayed? Why are there so many inanimate objects (a car, a ship, etc.) with which we’ve invested some form of personhood? In general (and discussion of non-gender pronouns aside), if we say “she” or “he” when talking about someone or something, then we are using who. Otherwise, we are using that.

    To snish or to use relative pronouns when talking about a person, nay they do come in short form. But although it’s more common, there is no rule that says we cannot use that as a relative pronoun when talking about a person. What is true is that the word has a connotation that is not ungrammatical. How should I use “who” when talking about random people and not “people”?

    Here’s something else interesting (although somewhat unrelated): “We are currently using who for inanimate objects. We can actually use who inanimate objects?” There’s nothing wrong with the sentence “The house whose rooms are filled with junk. It would normally not be phrased that way.) But, at the same time (except in the context of a horror book or movie), we would not say “The house who sat empty.” Which

    actually means that although we’re always able to substitute there for who (not that we necessarily want to),we are unable to always substitute who for that…

    What are some examples of how to hyphenate it as a multi-day event as it’s the ultimate expo?

    You can have a daylong event, so multi is simply added to the start of the compound adjective. Does this look weird?

    In addition to other solution, you can call it a days-long event. What is a bit strange here?

    A sense of fear

    washed over him. Do you know what happened?

    What is the difference between a sense of fear and noun phrase? What washed over him? How can one control feelings of fear? Why washed over him?
    The wave smashed into ‘James’, immediately after the other wave crashed into him.
    When a bird landed on the ground what would it do?

    The idea behind your first sentence is obvious—your adjective is also used as it is. But then the sentence is also written in some way without a sentence having a noun use. I tried to understand our first sentence, but it didn’t.

    ‘A sense, in my mind, we’re witnessing someone pushing boundaries’.
    Is it true we were eating something out of the oven.
    I think nobody should work tomorrow. we were thinking nobody should work today.

    I’m interested in rephrasing a sentence I just read. I know that sentence isn’t easy. But there are other ways. Both are grammatical, although only the first actually makes sense.

    We were witnessing pushing boundaries.
    What we were witnessing was push boundaries. (a sense)


    In a sense, on the other hand, is actually an idiom that means something beyond the joining of the three individual words:

    in
    a/one sense idiom :
    from one point of view // This is actually true,
    and it’s possible.”

    So, if you add in to the start of a sense, you are changing it from a noun phrase to a dependent clause that is acting either as adjectival phrase or adverbial phrase depending on its context. , we saw someone pushing boundaries and defying convention.

    In short, the

    sentence you are questioning can be (correctly) seen as follows: we were witnessing someone pushing boundaries and defying conventions.
    I’ve seen people pushing boundaries and defying convention. What do they do in my mind?
    we were witnessing someone breaking boundaries and defying conventions.

    Is the best solution still possible?

    By doing this, you are saying it’s the most likely of those available, but at the same time putting emphasis on the fact that it’s still an unlikely path.

    All likelier paths lead to failure.

    What are the words for manned plane, aft-vehicle,

    and unmanned spacecraft? In the context of drone technology, is Unmanned Space Vehicle (Unmanned Space Vehicle) a suitable solution for everyone? Aerial and aeronautical are adjectives for things in the atmosphere.

    Analogously, the adjective for things in space is astronautical. The noun astronautics : The science of the construction and operation


    of vehicles for travel in

    space

    beyond the earth’s atmosphere As per another answer, unmanned space vehicle sounds more natural than unmanned space vehicle.


    When you talk about things manufactured for space in general, you are talking about things of an astronautical nature, not things of a space nature.
