The d-n consonant combination is mechanically difficult to reproduce, and there are regional variations in dealing with this. In some accents, notably those where speech is rapid, the d is shortened to a gluttal stop “ha’nt” or even omitted altogether “hant.” What is the proper pronunciation for Wales and the Marches. In places where the pace of life is a bit slower- Wales and the Marches, for example- the problem is eliminated by adding a schwa between the d and the n so it is pronounced “had a nt”, with the d clearly enunciated. As in the Goldilocks story, the Received Pronunciation version is not too much, not too little, but just right.

The position of the d is changed and the d is softened. The d is not dropped. The plosive of the regular d is made with the tongue on the gums, releasing air through the teeth. With the Dn combination in hadn’t the tongue remains against the gums and the soft palate: the plosive occurs using the epiglottis, allowing air to pass through the nose.

I can’t find a recording of hadn’t, but here is one of didn’t.

The expression circular talk is often used, however the meaning is not specific. Some people think that it means a conversation that doesn’t go anywhere, or is very indirect: others that it’s like circular reasoning: see Stew’s answer.

If you were asked to change the shape of the table, it would read nicely as

their words were circular talk at a round table.

What is the difference between the way things do and how one perceives the world really?

I use present simple closes about a general truth or about a scheduled event Ice melts if you heat

it – general truth My flight leaves at 9:45
– scheduled event.

You can use present continuous being ending about something that is happening right now, or something that is planned or intended to happen soon.

I am writing a book right now I
am leaving tomorrow – intent You

can use be going to infinitive of something that will happen or intended to happen: usually it means soon, but could be some time away.

The moon light will go out tonight – it will happen I
am going to make dinner soon – intent All
of humanity will die one day – will happen eventually You can

also use will infinitive for something that will happen or you intend to do at any time?

I will go to America one day – intent
All of the versions that you have suggested would

be OK, but the best would be Let’s walk quickly because the shop closes in ten

minutes – planned
Let’s walk quickly because the shop will shut in ten minutes. Will happen soon Let’s
walk quickly because the shop will close in ten minutes. The situations are similar

To The Next Example (There Is a Conflict), These three examples are all equally good: the circumstances might affect which one you choose to use. Are going to close is less formal. There is not much difference between the other two, unless you want to distinguish between scheduled and will definitely happen.

What is the weakest version actually but it’s not happening now and it’s not something that you plan or intend?

Let walk as if the store is closing and you have

to leave. Let’s walk fast. If it is 4am, it doesn’t matter what time it is.

When we read or hear a word as concrete, it’s something we sense. Then it’s something we can smell or see. Several problems with this definition, for example nobody would suggest that music is concrete, but we can hear it.

For a better definition of the notion of “meat” something have a little mass but don’t have some more weight than that. If light is more dense than radiation, it may cause radiation to change, but it is not a sure way of classifying things, because because a scientist would say that light has mass: he or she can prove it experimentally that it has mass and, for a given colour, can calculate accurately how much each photon weighs. An artist would say that light is abstract.

Physics have long thought of the fact that light is either a wave or a particle, depending on how they intend to predict it. How do I classify things as concrete or abstract?

When we use uncountable and countable nouns, if possible, for example for countable nouns but generally not for uncountable nouns. What are the different usage of concrete and abstract nouns? What do I get from zero? Can I only think of two things, neither related to usage, that give value to the concept of abstract nouns?

If we are teaching grammar and we want to understand why a noun is, it’s easy to explain what a concrete noun is: it’s a person, place or thing. We need abstract nouns to explain all of the other nouns, the things we cannot touch.

Second, when we wish to communicate with people from other cultures, we have to bear in mind that the meanings of concrete nouns are generally communicable, but those of abbreviated nouns vary between cultures. I had lived in Egypt for 8 years before I came across a word for debt: it’s an alien concept.

May you come up with other ways that absrtact adds value, but as far as I am concerned it is an interesting theoretical concept that is of transient practical value for people learning a language Is it more than worth her splitting hairs over definitions?

Which way to structure a sentence is countable? Multe nouns also can be countable and uncountable, so therein lies Duality. How do I do this? They perform as scentists, and are obliged to use the appropriate model for the kind of meaning that they want to convey. When looking at promise, for

example: the air was full of promise – uncountable.
He made me a promise – countable. He made me a promise.

What you want to describe is atomic? If you can cut something in two and it’s no longer the same- its nature has changed- it’s countable.

If you take a whole fish and cut it in two: Its nature changes: it is no longer a fish. No fish. No fish! Did you know that the whole fish was countable? If yes, then why don’t you count things like that? If you take part of fish meat and cut it in half, you have two smaller pieces; but the nature of fish meat is intact and not brittle. The meat of fish is about 1,000.

If you cut 1 promise and sliced it to two it is a general concept and does exist, the first promise is uncountable. You can make it atomic but you can also apply the atomicity rule to all abstract concepts. If you can cut the second promise in two, your own creations would have little value, and so the nature of the

second promise has changed: it is countable.

In English, you can indicate that two subjects, things or situations are completely different by saying about one of them: “That’s

another kettle of fish That’s
a different kettle of fish”

If someone bring up a topic that, in your opinion, is not actually involved in the current topic of conversation, where in the chat it seems appropriate to start?

If the second subject is considerably more demanding than the first, for example: Lend you a hundred pounds? C

What is the biggest money problem with the ten thousand pounds? What is a different kettle of fish?

I am an empath now. I now I see it as comparing two two things that are completely different. Different from academic/practical intelligence,

what are some examples?

What was the

beautiful death?

When the pregnant woman got on the bus, you didn’t offer her a seat (bad you) and she slipped off. I read a simple past which describes the morning lady getting onto a bus.

When a lady got onto the bus, she brought a huge quantity of stickers around.

If there’s a second event, you’d use simple past: I sat

down to hear the lady getting on the bus.

If you were in the middle of doing something when the first event occurred, you would use past continuous:

I was sitting when the lady got onto the bus.

In your example, you were in the middle doing something (sitting) when you decided not to offer your seat to the pregnant lady (the real thing) who has not started to dress up. Take your seat and explain why. Option b) is therefore correct.

According to the Cambridge Dictionary, seated can be used as an adjective meaning sitting right, so option c) is also correct.

Option a) is not appropriate because it would be taken in this context to refer to a single event.

When I was at school, I sat next to Claire Johnson. I have done this since 1996. I know that the person

who provided the information is the classic craze of simple past in the world, and I can use it within a simple past.

A situation that went on for some specified time. I sat next

to Claire all evening. (Spoilers not invited)

What are some tips?
