    Capitalise river because it is part of the name: thus, the river Nile, the river Euphrates, the river Rhine. I call this the ‘generic’ element of a geographical name; it specifies the kind of character that we are talking about.

    What do you make of the Nile, Euphrates, Rhine, but these are names for the lakes.

    Consider street names which also have generic elements, say, Robinson Drive. ‘Drive’ is the generic element, and suggests that the road is probably scenic in some way. It is double-signed and’standard’ stamped.

    Just 1 more analog. Many countries have full forms, whereas short form is common. Commonwealth of Australia is a full form (the generic element of Australia being capitalised)?

    When I see them in a game-on stage I cannot believe that the game is named a half-life. Is game part of names. It is the complete form. It is not a part of the name. How would capitalise game in your sentence?

    How many stops is it “from here”?
    How many stops is the destination,

    understanding It’s five stops to the park. The Park is 5 stops away from the town.
    L’auto park is one mile from three traffic lights. It’s an extremely pretty park to walk around. Is it so bad? Is there a safe way to park four traffic
    lights away? How many stops should I use to reach

    the park?


    A: It is five stop to park.

    How many stops are there to get to the park?
    What are the stops that are commonly used?

    @alsa provides the contrafactual use of the subjunctive “were.” “There are also the optative use, “Would that it were true,” and the future-less-vivid use, “Were she to do this, what would be her reward?” “Is

    Was as good as I’d played

    means it equalled the highest level he had played in the past.

    One of the best

    I’ve played, must be the best I ever played.

    If it had been the personal best then it

    would have been the old best.

    as opposed to

    has the meaning

    in contrast to
    instead of
    which is different from

    What’s being being “opposed” is the usual routine of going to the local beach.

    Your second sentence is incorrect since the idiom is

    as opposed to

    “So, the complete sentence as your first example is

    We’re going to Florida for our vacation this year, as opposed to going to the local beach”.

    Some phrases about exploiting land are outdated

    and should be amended.

    since you are trying to describe how much advantage was taken from the resources. The equivalent would be

    resources were not well exploited.
