Well, I am not satisfied. Thanks, anyway.
Sep 11, 2024 12:50
@RyderisnotRude. I want you to explain something to me about clauses.
Sep 11, 2024 12:50
@jlliagre Yes. But I am trying to know about elliptical conditional clauses.
Sep 11, 2024 12:43
@RyderisnotRude. there's a comma in my original sentence.
Sep 11, 2024 12:35
Why "then"? @RyderisnotRude. it's a conditional elliptical clause. So, why do you need to add "then"?
Sep 11, 2024 12:34
@RyderisnotRude. I have to clear up some doubts about it.
Sep 11, 2024 12:34
I am non-native speaker here. @jlliagre
Sep 11, 2024 12:32
@RyderisnotRude. What kind of clause is it?
Sep 11, 2024 12:28
@RyderisnotRude.

If rich, I would buy you a car. Does this sentence mean (If I were a rich, I would buy you a car). I understand it is so. But why is the subject omitted in this sentence? Can we say, it's an elliptical clause or structure?
Sep 11, 2024 12:27
@RyderisnotRude. already asked.
Sep 11, 2024 12:27
Alright.
Sep 11, 2024 12:26
Well.
Sep 11, 2024 12:26
Well, I don't like to disturb others.
Sep 11, 2024 12:25
But I expect positive response from people here. If they think asking questions are like disturbing them then this site should be banned.🥲
Sep 11, 2024 12:24
Okay.
Sep 11, 2024 12:24
That's why this site was created.
Sep 11, 2024 12:24
People work here to support and help others.
Sep 11, 2024 12:24
Alright! If so, let's move.
Sep 11, 2024 12:23
Alright! If it's an official warning from a site. But we are here to discuss and resolve issues regarding language and English.
Sep 11, 2024 12:22
I don't consider it begging.
Sep 11, 2024 12:22
Why is it like begging if it comes to learning?
Sep 11, 2024 12:19
@Robusto
Sep 11, 2024 12:19
My respected friends, I have seen such structures, but are they really elliptical clauses?
Sep 11, 2024 12:19
@alphabet Can you?
Sep 11, 2024 12:18
@tchrist Can you put some light on it?
Sep 11, 2024 12:18

Hello, everyone.
Aug 24, 2024 22:49
Good night, @everyone. It's too late. I'm going to hit the hay.
Aug 24, 2024 22:42
Hey, do we have Catja here? @alphabet & @tchrist?
Aug 24, 2024 22:34
How many native speakers are in this platform?
Aug 24, 2024 22:33
Means they really show actions and form tense?
Aug 24, 2024 22:31
Aight!
Aug 24, 2024 22:29
Jot down some examples of explicit aspect, @tchris.
Aug 24, 2024 22:27
How should I identify aspects in the tenses?
Aug 24, 2024 22:27
These form tenses.
Aug 24, 2024 22:26
What's explicit aspect again?
Aug 24, 2024 22:25
How about aspect?
Aug 24, 2024 22:25
@tchrist How can we identify aspect and tense in the sentences?
Aug 24, 2024 22:17
Mars, Stoney Bay and Fleming used to help me with grammar. I lost them on this site.
Aug 24, 2024 22:16
@alphabet There is no one in that room right now. I found this side most active.
Aug 24, 2024 22:15
I had joined this site long ago.
Aug 24, 2024 22:14
I remember when I has teacher Stony Bay and others who used to help me when I was 16.
Aug 24, 2024 22:14
Yes, I am not a native speaker. That's why I sometimes cannot distinguish between things. @alphabet
Aug 24, 2024 22:12
Actually I am a little more confused about grammar as it is taught in Asian countries. So, some students face challenges when learning it.
Aug 24, 2024 22:12
@alphabet Do they have a side to discuss English grammar?
Aug 24, 2024 22:11
That's why I am unable to attach anything here.
Aug 24, 2024 22:11
I see but I am using this side by using my phone.
Aug 24, 2024 22:10
Recommend any grammar book.

Oh, I see. @Cerberus. I thought he spoiled something else.😉
