Asked on December 26, 2021 in Grammar.
In the sense of own, there are two different forms of “Have got” and “have got”: same thing.
- How did you get your car? What auxiliary is to have? Do you own
- a car? Auxiliary is do. So do I.
So: “So have I.” for have got and “So do I.” for get.
What are the answer questions that are asked with having and have got? What is the only difference between spoken and spoken form?
When one teaches English, one deals with this all the time.
Why do some people answer just as soon as they learn about their answer or question?
Do you have an X? What is the most likely auxiliary to “do”. If a person asks me a really stupid question about ‘have you nit’ then the answer is that they have no idea and are going to buy it!’
Do you have money? And the auxiliary there is have: I have. This usage is quite rare in AmE. I know about British dramas but I don’t know about it to
certain point.

Asked on December 22, 2021 in Single word requests.
Due to our budget is
limited, we’ll need to go for a cheaper alternative. The sentence cited by OP:
Can you please read
what I mean by: Since our budget is limited, we’ll need to resort to this cheaper alternative.
resort to something means to turn to something as an alternative that is not necessarily the one that is the absolute best.
Another example: the company never resorts to cheaper suppliers as they can not provide the quality it seeks.

In the context of the site the link which is in the question, they say to avoid the following: Name
Calling. How is an ad hominem-attack delivered? I wrote the tone that responded to my post instead of the actual content. What should I do? And that’s a jerk counterfactual.
I wish I had written it like
this: Contradicting others in a knee-jerk manner.
How do I get right away without
further thinking?

Asked on December 20, 2021 in Single word requests.
“Mapping the furrow” already attributes a high level of skill and precision to his father. Is the word ‘exactly’ a phrase or a reference? If yes then how does it become explicit? “Mapping
the furrow” attributes on its own a high level of skill and precision to his father. The addition of ‘exactly’ intensifies the visual impact of the phrase and suggests an obsessive or over zealous aspect to the activity.

Asked on December 20, 2021 in Word choice.
If it is a Saturday or Sunday, Friday is five or six days away. If you are a scientist, you are looking at one day between the weekend and the weekend. It is Friday. What should you think about it?
Should a train come down the platform after another train leaves? Is it possible for a person who has his phone stolen on Friday a big day? It is not the one that has passed the first Friday in 11 years. It is not the last Friday in 12 years. Will there be an upcoming movie?
“Evidence” comes from the fact we also say: Friday after next. To make this proof we say: “When is the last word for next Friday before the last one comes out?” So, if it’s Saturday or Sunday, Friday after next can not be the upcoming one, it can be the one after
that.

Asked on December 20, 2021 in Meaning.
I know the proper idiom of someone by a thick skull or head or brain, but I’d better go about to search for some substance through them.
Why can’t you pass through my thick brain? I know that I have some anger but this never happens again.
Why are you considered stupid? What
does “I don’t plan to go to the party tonight.” Is “I am going to go…” If
a person sends a message via a conditioned body, he or she will get it inside the body, or through another physical activity. “Get here / Receive here means: “receive” a message through the brain.
To get through something means to go through it.
Through x is prepositional phrase.
To get through is to pass through, to pass through, to permeate, to cross a barrier.
Secret message did not get through to him. In other words, he did not receive it.
