I would say “Yes please do. What am I supposed to do?” In
other words, if will in a question maps to will in what you are calling a free answer and shall in a question maps to do in the free answer – at least, that’s one way we can look at it.
Is a mapping work in it’s simplest sense with a number of verbs? How can I help
- you?
- Is it safe to eat this last meatball?
- How can you meet me at Market in two hours?
- Would you just let me borrow another book and borrow it for another day?
- Should I lock up and kiss you?
All of those questions can be answered with, “Yes, please do. If yes, please do” What
does it mean if you want the other way out? Just simply say “No, please don’t”. ”
” ” I like to do. ” ” I will need to work hard in one way to improve my business. “

Blogs: Today’s Dictionaries are dealing with this issue. They don’t care about spelling, they do everything wrong. This situation is growing. We get to a point where Dictionaries have to commingling with that or a topic that something similar happens. What do the words run mean? On the other hand, bow has three separate entries.
What do print Dictionary examples use? In contrast, the online dictionary by Collins uses a numeral in a blue square for each entry to denote the same thing, as can be seen at their listing for bow ).

to see the Bishop.
See and see are not the same word, as are the words of many language and article.
In his comments, John Lawler said that something does depend on who is counting and what the count represents. In the phrase
“He had a cold”.
had and had are two separate words (it is a five-word sentence, after all), but those two hads happen to map to the same dictionary entry, whereas, in the earlier sentence, see and see map to two different dictionary entries. Is that right?
What is the best definition of a word?

The following are the few examples of cut against-in-the-separation in a dictionary. If the phrasal verbs go against and cut across are in bad news, are the best and bad words in some dictionaries?
I wondered if cut against is either a mix-up of these two phrases, or else a sharper wording of go against, as the word cut can mean “to move sharply toward”, which would be a rough synonym of go in that context.
In a lot of the literature, cut against is found, but many of those usages are literal and not figurative (moot with toast roasted if cut against a grain). How does our culture enforce the rights of individuals?
S. Markovits, 1998
Even the two-year lead time will likely be insufficient to attract new entrants into a distressed industry with high start-up costs and industry-specific investment. Is this, too, may cut against allowing merger of firms in a distressed industry? These outcomes cut against the
rational-game-theoretic approach that sees regimes as the resultants of nations rationally pursuing mutual gains in variable-sum games. (G. P.) (S.M.) M. Gallarotti, 1995).
In these usages, two words seem to indicate the phrase can be used to mean contrary or contradict, so it seems go against and cut against can be used synonymously in
some contexts.

Scheme is used in technical papers, to describe algorithmic approaches to problem solving. In that context, it has no negative connotations whatsoever, and is as benign as the previously-cited example, rhyming scheme. Some examples:
“The selection of a particular numbering scheme is based on the analysis of the corresponding adjacency matrix. ” (Kier and Hall, Molecular Connectivity in Chemistry and Drug Research) “The
simplest scheme to solve this problem is to make separate copies of the goal’s arguments for each alternative clause in chemistry and drug development” To reduce the copying overhead, variant schemes based on the idea of shared environments have been suggested. (yang, P-prolog, a parallel logic programming language) “The selection
of a numerical scheme to solve practical fluids engineering problems in Japan is still an art” “(Valentine, Control-Volume Finite Difference Schemes to Solve Convection Diffusion Problems)-(Valentine, Control-Volume Finite
Difference Schemes)

What does “GROW” mean? What do the first two reflect what we often immediately think of when we think
about growing: growth ( v. ). To undergo natural development, to increase in size and change physical growth
v. ) to become bigger or greater over a period of time; to increase
I’m the third meaning, though, that provides the key to your apparent oxymoron:
grow ( v. x). If the number of fish are gradually becoming diminished/emerging, then a headline might
say : Tasty Fish Grow Smaller/Emergence, causing the fish to become smaller over time? (or,
maybe more accurately, causing the average size
of adult fish to become smaller over time)

How do I employ parallelism in a sentence like this of “eliminate” that contains a key phrase or no relevant words? Why do robots want to destroy jobs rather than create them themselves?
Is it possible that robots will be eliminating jobs rather than creating them.

In a picture like this one,
the leftmost person (person A) is said to be “all the way to the left” while the person furthest to the right (person D) can be said to be “all the way on the right” Both
prepositions ( to and on ) are grammatical, and you don’t have to use to with left, or on with right. ” Note : both prepositions are grammatical, and you don’t have to use to with right.
She had no neighbors on the right and the person on the left was not with her. By definition, she is in her left. Therefore, you wouldn’t use “all the way on the right” on this expression.
