Asked on February 27, 2021 in Grammar.
Someone has eaten my porridge. I
have just had my porridge to eat, what does this mean? Either the glutton is eating it piece by piece stealthily or over a period of time. A year to 3 years of age. Say you kept your porridge in a fridge it gets eaten everyday and you let it go! It can be completely appropriate to express your anger with someone in this way.
On the other hand,
Someone ate my porridge – show poor state of yours!
I mean you are helpless now, as the porridge is already eaten. Does anyone have an EXCEPTIONS policy? If you can’t do anything until everyone
stops doing the work, you can’t return to your job. It’s finished.

Is that the truth? Two uses of colons are to describe a list or to introduce person’s statement as it is.
I’d say invert commas to show that it is a statements or a direct speech.

and a list example – The

You can turn one of the options b by going to the lower right. Because here, you want to describe the verb that caused its effects throughout the event. If the past tense is used instead of continuous, it’s meant that you sat only for one spot or time, the event was then over and the conversation was over. While sitting on the seat you did not offer the seat to you. You want to explain that as you
were sitting you were sitting, on the last seat, you did not offer the seat.

will it happen to me when I hear All The Way as idiom in the US?
all the way (idiom) – during the whole period of time.
Up is probably a reference to the number 1-ranked rank (for those students in the
second grade) among the other students (until 6th grade). Up is the ability to influence an individual’s self awareness and are expected to improve in other aspects of their school.

Since the period specified in “approx. 12 hr” is continuous period, employees can not go to work during these hours, which aggravates the other employees’ poor condition and causing the accident. When we go into the future continuous scene of the universe… or at least the Future continuous scene in the universe!
During half an hour, he’ll be having lunch (future continuously). Option d is also fine as you are pretty sure that he will have started his lunch.
Logically, the option c is also possible. In that whole paragraph, it’s not mentioned that Josh finishes his lunch. Say, he starts by 12;35 and finishes by 12;44 pm. Say, who do you expect to be in the office by the time he finishes? (I cant think of any problem by it myself). Do you think he will have finished his business at lunch time, at 12:45?”
Why he’ll have lunch doesn’t fit? Why that is a simple future and the time specified is in between 1230 to 1300 hr which requires continuity? I mean, had it been 12:30 pm, “he’ll have lunch” would have been fine. But I don’t know what happened.
Does this exercise ask for an answer or is it an exercise for the tenses in English? Because if someone is talking of a routine that happens everyday, we use present tense.
He goes to office at 10.00 am and comes back at 6.00 am. He takes his lunch at 1400 hr. and so…

I think inform merely talks about the ‘information of something’ and that’s it!
What
I’ll have to inform her about Joe’s kidnapping.
So, here, we are informing her that Joe is kidnapped. What should I do for my brother-in-law?
On the other hand,
I’ll have to inform her about Joe’s kidnapping
means, not only will she be informed that Joe is kidnapped but also the details,
she said my girlfriend is mad.

IMHO,
For the first two, I’d prefer beckon because, it means giving signal with hands or nod
beckon (v) – Signal with hands or nod Look
at the image, she’s beckoning. Is she just calling someone around and not asking following?
Why was Alex beckoning?
Now, when you ask someone to follow, I’ve observed this in movies that the asker either turns a bit to a direction he/she is going and signals or raises eyebrows with a little tilt of face signaling someone to follow them in a direction. I’m sure there are multiple examples of this. Which means that signal fit’s better than beckon.
In addition, she signaled him to follow is quite common. If this is a small example of the Oxford, what is the exact one and why?
Note that signal of ‘to follow’ may have an act of beckoning but all in all, it is more than beckoning.

Are’seeing’ nouns? Is it a verb? Why or why not? Consequently, this is a verb the form of ‘-ing’. And due to ‘look forward….’ pattern, it takes the verb in the form of ‘-ing’.

meabout your thoughts.Does the question still exist?
What is to be discussed here based on my experience?
