Hi.

I'm struggling with embedded questions.

I wrote this : Could it be possible for a man to gather so many weapons in there?

Is it okay ? it looks wrong to me but I can't point what's the problem

@Dave Looks okay to me.

Usernew - a great excerpt from a book! I'm afraid you've misread what it says: in the OP's question the meaning is not existential. Tom did not encounter real dogs, he just generally likes dogs with a long tail. The meaning is generic. But please do not delete the answer, the quote is great, you'd only need to amend the answer a little. — CopperKettle 6 mins ago

Unfortunately, a lot of active voters on ELL seem to be incapable of telling what's right and what's not.

Damkerng T.

10:09 AM

I think one possible problem is that we allow everyone to vote, learners or not.

I'm not saying that I make the right choice of voting all the time, though.

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@DamkerngT. Yeah but that's unsolvable. Who gets to decide who should vote?

@Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ. So, this is probably what we're gonna get, if we have, say, 10 learners for every one native speaker.

One problem I see is that the primary goal of the site is helping the OP rather than all the learners that'll visit the post.

A asks "should I use 'looks' or 'look' in this sentence?"

B answers "That's a horrible sentence. Say X instead."

Damkerng T.

nods -- I think you're exactly right

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

What if the another learner does need to understand which option to use?

And this results in very short answers that make me bitter.

Anonymous

Oh, I hope we can avoid words like horrible! That might discourage the poor learner who wrote the example while trying their best.

Damkerng T.

I think, partly, it's because it's fundamentally based on how SO works.

Ϻ.Λ.Ʀ.

@DamkerngT. Well, I'm yet to see an SE that works well with the very intention of helping people. It's been some time now that I haven't treated SE as anything other than an interactive library.

This is one of the common errors made by learners. Perhaps, we already had a similar question before, but because I can't remember one, I decided to post this answer. You're right that it was able to is more appropriate than could in the sentence. This grammar point in Practical English Usage by...

Q: How to take down the internet?

The internet is a mesh or "net" of computers, all constantly establishing and re-establishing connections with each other. For this reason, only temporarily do servers go down, before they are back up and running again (i.e. "This server is temporarily unavailable. Try reloading in a few minutes"...
