QUESTIONIs the sentence grammatically correct, "I had seen him yesterday"?No. The past perfect tense (in this case, “had seen”) is reserved for sentences that contain two interrelated events that happened in the past. This sentence contains only one event. To be grammatically correct, the sentence should be: “I saw him yesterday.” This uses the simple past tense#Frank_Dauenhauer ⭕️Unknown EnglishᎻᴇиɜʙᴇдᴀнный ᴀнᴦᴧийᴄᴋий

QUESTIONIs it grammatically correct to say “I will support you in whatever way you need me”?Yes, it is grammatically correct as it stands. However, I would add one word to make the second part of the sentence more solid: “I will support you in whatever way you may need me.#Frank_Dauenhauer ⭕️Unknown EnglishᎻᴇиɜʙᴇдᴀнный ᴀнᴦᴧийᴄᴋий

QUESTIONWhy is it "smell good" but not "smell well"?Actually, both of these are valid phrases. However, they are used for different purposes.A person “smells good” when they are exuding a pleasant odor. A person “smells well” when their sense of smell is working fine, and they have no trouble detecting different fragrances and odors. What we can’t do is tell someone they “smell well” in the same way that we tell them that they “look well.” It would be strange and unusual. For instance, “Hey John. You look well,” is fine because the person could be looking chirpy and healthy. But, “Hey John. You smell well,” will be strange, even if the person is giving off a nice fragrance. Instead, “Hey John. You smell good,” will be suitable.▪️exude [ɪgˊzju:d] v 1) выделя́ть(ся) 2) распространя́ть вокру́г себя́ ▪️chirpy [ˊtʃɜ:pɪ] a разг. живо́й, весёлый#Mohammad_AbuBakar ⭕️Unknown EnglishᎻᴇиɜʙᴇдᴀнный ᴀнᴦᴧийᴄᴋий

QUESTIONIs it grammatically correct to say “I am having” in English? I saw a lot of people doing it.The verb “to have” has several meanings and uses. For some meanings and uses, we do not use the continuous form, but for other meanings and uses we do use the continuous form. The topic is vast and complex and the best we can do here is provide some general descriptions of various usages.(1) “TO HAVE” MEANING “TO POSSESS”, “TO OWN”: For this meaning, we do not use the continuous form, since possessing or owning is already a continuous or ongoing state. We can possess or own something only over a period of time. We cannot possess or own something for only a moment (one point in time). So, “to have” in this sense is already continuousfrom the very beginning and it is therefore unnecessary to differentiate between the “simple” form and the “continuous” form.

QUESTIONIs there any grammatical error in this sentence, "I made my friend to study hard for the examination"?The error is the use of the full infinitive “to study”. When the verb “to make” is used in its causative sense, it is followed by a bare infinitive (infinitive without “to”), not the full infinitive. The basic sentence structure is: • X makes Y do Z (→ NOT: “ to do Z”) This usage is common to the verbs “to have” (used in a causative sense) and “to let”. Here are some examples: • The teacher made the students stand in a straight line. (→ NOT: “to stand”) • We had the painters paint our house green.(→ NOT: “to paint”) • The teacher let the students go home early.(→ NOT: “to go”) In American English, this use of the bare infinitive is also applied to the verb “to help”: • I helped my friend study for the exam.(Amer.) In older English usage, the verb “to bid” (meaning “to tellᎻᴇиɜʙᴇдᴀнный ᴀнᴦᴧийᴄᴋий

QUESTION"I am a very versatile person." Is this grammatically correct?While the statement “I am a very versatile person” is grammatically correct, it is a very clunky way of stating your ability. “Versatile” refers to the quality of performing a wide range of tasks or adapting to a wide range of situations without difficulty. To add “very” to it is like adding a cup of water to a brimming swimming pool. The word already points to an indefinitely broad quality. “Very” doesn’t do anything here. This is similar to saying “very perfect.” It’s grammatically correct but linguistically, it’s not right at all. “Perfect” already implies a fully accomplished rank so adding “very” is redundant.▪️versatile [ˊvɜ:sətaɪl] a 1) многосторо́нний; ги́бкий; •versatile talent разносторо́нний тала́нт; •versatile mind ги́бкий ум 2) уст. непостоя́нный, изме́нчивый#Mohammad_AbuBakar ⭕️Unknown EnglishᎻᴇиɜʙᴇдᴀнный ᴀнᴦᴧийᴄᴋий

QUESTIONIs “she is beautiful than me” grammatically correct?No, the statement “She is beautiful than me…” is not grammatically correct. When you are comparing one person to another (or one thing to another, one place to another, etc.) you have to use comparative adjectives. The comparative form of “beautiful” is “more beautiful.” Hence, the correct version would be “She is more beautiful than me.” However, please bear in mind that a strict prescriptivist would say that using “me” here is incorrect. You should use “I” and complete it like this: She is more beautiful than I am. In normal, everyday English, it is considered fine to say “She is more beautiful than me.”#Mohammad_AbuBakar ⭕️Unknown EnglishᎻᴇиɜʙᴇдᴀнный ᴀнᴦᴧийᴄᴋий

QUESTIONWhy is it correct to say "Thirty pounds is a lot of weight to lose," even though pounds seem plural? What's the rule here?It is not helpful to think in terms of “rules”. There is a logical relationship involved, and if you understand the logical relationship you will understand why the third-person singular form of the verb is used. “Thirty pounds” is a quantity and as such it is uncountable. It is measurable, but not countable. Each pound does not operate separately. All thirty pounds operate together as one single amount or quantity. That quantity “is” singular. This applies to any quantity, not just a quantity of weight. For example, money is an uncountable noun, even though we count dollars or euros or yen or rupees or some other currency. No matter how many “dollars” there are, the amount is always one amount, and that amount is therefore singular. $1,500 has been setᎻᴇиɜʙᴇдᴀнный ᴀнᴦᴧийᴄᴋий

QUESTIONIs "according to me" correct?There is nothing wrong with it grammatically, but it is logically awkward. We use “according to” only when we want to present some other source as the authority for what we are saying. If we are the source of the information, then it is not “according to”, since we are speaking on our own authority. If I know that something is true, I can say with confidence that it is true and explain why I know that it is true. Perhaps I saw it myself, and I am convinced that it is true. It is only when we cannot provide such an explanation that we use “according to” and we then provide the source of the information.•According to the weather forecast, tomorrow will the the hottest day on record since 1959. •You are supposed to take your shoes off before entering a house, according to the custom of our culture.These are appropriate uses of “according to”,
