Asked on March 20, 2021 in Word choice.
I would use:
2) I don’t know why I don’t have a student called John in my music class yet. John says “On a given name, John says they don’t make judgments.”
yet is best in a negative statement meaning the time up to the up to now.
How do I- use
yet in positive statement to indicate that something has not happened up till the present time although it probably will happen. See still adverb (needing to know) How can I ask my question today?
still in a negative context implies that something might happen but is not necessarily expected.
If something hasn’t- yet
happened would still happen, it is possible that it will happen. See still? If something has not yet happened is still to happen, it will happen at a later time.
Already cannot be used in the absence of an action. I left Home Depot this morning and walked to the store. Didn’t take my phone and called the store yet?
What is the importance of “yet” to the “good crowd” in the elections? How will you get a student named John? “still” depends on your expectation of whether you’ll give a student named Ivan. If you have a named John in your class, use “still”.
I am too lazy to leave “yet” at the end of a sentence because the rest of the sentence is a complete thought, with yet modifying it
to give the time reference.

Asked on March 14, 2021 in Grammar.
When my train is delayed, I don’t feel it was an actual change/deplane (in the moment that the train was cancelled without incident), but just a situation. Can anyone explain how the situation differs? Away in London, the train
has been cancelled.
The
Train is cancelled.
does not work on logical level. logically can’t keep everything at its current level. I don’t think anyone would say it this way, but they’ve been told to cancel the train a couple of times. Why?
What do you mean
when you say, The rail has canceled?
This cannot stand by itself since this form requires a direct object, like:
The snow has cancelled my travel plans. But while it’s nice and sunny, I can see the lights and the wind in the trees.
To be honest, do people really care. But when it comes to this one topic?

Asked on March 10, 2021 in Meaning.
What is ‘ground’ in English? For some people it should
refer to a point where the distance between the Earth and the sky is limited, while some of the geological words are about space.
Earth (meaning the ground, not the planet), ground, and dirt all pretty much refer to this. * Soil* mentioned by Fantasier is also OK. In some contexts one could be a better choice than another.
Land is often used to explain the surface area of a land.

Asked on March 7, 2021 in Word choice.
In the case where this is a step in an instruction, I would use “will be”, because you read the instruction and then perform it.”
If its just documentation, then either should be OK, but I would prefer “is’. If
it’s just documentation, then either should be OK.

Asked on March 6, 2021 in Other.
In one word, as Mr. Seth told him about the riches to be
found in that far off land, all the riches to be found implies that there should be riches, but they were not found yet. I think the
lottery winnings are very real. I made $20,000 and it was very good. I thought they could be winning some money simply by going to the lottery. Is that true?
What do you think about this competition, I won some so far, but I haven’t won anything. I haven’t won much so far. Thank god for all of it.
What riches are found there?
If rumours began I assume riches were found, then obviously something happened.
I heard about the lottery being won by my ex. Tough luck.

Asked on March 4, 2021 in Other.
As other people
have said, there are books I might buy that I would write/receive for a long time. I had preordered them with out an apology, however as they did not arrive I chose to find them by myself and finally found them. I read to her thank her for this. I decided to do it because I was tired of waiting so long.
These books have been on my wish
list for ages. I have ordered them a few
times and they are now going on my wish list. (some minor corrections are in italics because they are so short and must be read once in order for them to be considered valid)
I chose to find them
is fine because it was a single action, a choice, that occurred in the past.
When I started waiting for what I needed I was tired of waiting for it.
Here the simple past was is better, as it resulted in a specific action or decision (I decided to do that) in
the past.

Asked on March 4, 2021 in Other.
Or, to simply put, think of the order of actions in a given order. What is the meaning of ‘Load’ that tells you to continue with the next action? So:
First:
taking some sounds with feedback (the training) Second: leave
with
80% accuracy ears Third: begun to learn some language (with the 80% accuracy
ears
we now have) Is it pre-trained because we got this ability in the first step above.
How can I understand leave better?
What if we could start out by taking a training class, and leave (the class) with pre-trained, 80% accuracy ears.The definition
used for leave would be: 8) to
go away from “to leave the house”
