What's the differences between "kindness" and "generosity"?

@yubraj I can be kind towards my nephew but refuse to buy him an ice-cream, because it's not healthy.
Thus, I would be not generous towards him.

Turns out it was not a false alarm. I was infected with tick-borne encephalitis, and the vaccinations that I underwent in 2014 and 2015 saved me.
I've just received the latest blood test results.

@CowperKettle Oh my goodness - I'm so glad you had the vaccinations. I hope you recover quickly.

@ColleenV I'm very glad too! I'm practically healthy now.
I asked today "what if I had not been vaccinated?" She answered: "let's not talk about such sad things". (0:
In my intensive care unit, the nurse told me that they had a 35 y.o. guy who was bitten by a tick. He spent 3 months in the unit. At the end of the 3 months he started talking, and they transferred him to Neurology.
So my 4 days in the unit was just a walk in the park. (0:

A: Gerund Phrases after adjectives

Man_From_India It's difficult being an architect. Here, being an architect is a Gerund-Participle clause. The subject of the sentence is it, and being an architect is an Extraposed Subject. being an architect is not a phrase, it's a clause. It has it's own verb, object and an implicit subject.

Is anything wrong with this answer?

Is there any difference between check and check on
 
CowperKettle
CowperKettle
Most likely, yes
> to look at someone or something in order to make sure that they are safe, correct, etc.:
"You will need to check on your new employees' qualifications."
You can't write check in place of check on here
The meaning would not be the same

A: adjective + conjunction + gerund

Man_From_India The story is neatly complex yet entertaining. The word - yet - as used in this sentence is an adverb, the function of it is Connective Adjunct. Like a coordinator, it can connect two Adjective Phrase (AdjP) - complex and entertaining. The meaning it bears is something like this though it's...

@Catija Ah. So it would be the same?

Maybe I was wrong

@CowperKettle : so if I have to say i have to check on the status on an order or i have to check on the status on an order

Yes... I think. There may be some slight differences but I think, in general, they're the same. In that example... I'm trying to think of a case where there might be a difference.
@EngFan I have to check the status of an order or I have to check on the status of an order. Are largely the same.

Q: What is the difference between "check something" and "check on something"

DaveFor example if in answer to the question, "what time does the shop close?" a tourist information officer might say, "I'll check on that for you." Why wouldn't they say, "I'll check that for you."?

usage phrasal-verbs

@Man_From_India Well, it's not a sentence.

It's kind of weird as a phrase, maybe because of coordination of unlikes. It's a coordination of two phrases which would presumably be complements of be, but they force you to construe be two different ways.

What's the meaning of "being on the cut"? I saw this expression in the name of a song by Eric B. and Rakim which is "Eric B. is on the cut".

@userr2684291 The words 'what' and 'which' can be interchanged in that context without much difference at all in meaning. I didn't notice it until you pointed it out. English is hard...
