@crl All Western European languages do. It's just that English has no rrule against stranding like Romance has.
@Mr_Green Actually, you have a question, maybe even a concern. But not a doubt. Doubt is a mistranslation (really a mistaken calque) typical of the Indian subcontinent. Native speakers might have their doubts (PLURAL!) about ghosts or gods or reincarnation, but they only have questions about things they want answers to. If you never again say "I have a doubt" in English, then you will have improved. Honest!!! :)

Are these two sentence correct?

- How can I be ? :-( My girl friend broked up with me .. I'm at the end of the road !! :-((
 
TRiG
TRiG
@Shafizadeh In some languages (such as Irish), plural markers are not needed directly after a number. English is not such a language, so you need to say Are these two sentences correct?
> Happiness is found on the way, not at the end of the road. Be happy today.
^ I added a comma. I think that's necessary. It certainly aids comprehension.

@Cerberus Was thinking of you:
I’m not sure which sort of passport you were looking at, given that occupacion is a spelling peculiar to Old French and Middle English. That word is now spelled occupation in present-day French and English; ocupação in Portuguese; ocupación in various “Spanish” languages including Castilian, Asturian, Galician, and Aragonese; ocupació in Catalan; occupazione in Italian; and ocupație in Romanian. All derive from the Latin occupātio, occupātiōnis. — tchrist ♦ 1 hour ago

The Brahmic scripts are a family of abugida writing systems. They are used throughout South Asia, Southeast Asia and parts of East Asia, and were once used in Japan, and are descended from the Brahmi script of ancient India. They are used by languages of several language families: Indo-European, Dravidian, Tibeto-Burman, Mongolic, Austroasiatic, Austronesian, Turkic, Tai. They were also the source of the dictionary order of Japanese kana. == History == Brahmic scripts are descended from the Brahmi script.

'Tis late to ask abundance of thy grace
When we are there; here on this lowly ground
'T is not too late to seek a newer world
Push off
and sitting well in order
smite.
I was feeling ok this morning until I got verse.
I blame the Clintons.

"you are cut off" means "get lost" ?

Oh.
@Shafizadeh That means that she's telling him she's cutting him off from any more of something, probably alcohol but maybe sex.

Could be other types of drugs, or anything really.

in other words, if you cut something off you remove it from what it had a connection with, so saying you're "cut off" means no more for you
get lost
