Hai! I have a small doubt. If I say All A are not B, how would you understand it? Does it mean No A is B or not all A are B? @snailplane

@userr2684291 An Indian who's living in America is an immigrant for Americans but an emigrant for us. Right?
Mar 9, 2017 17:17
@M.A.R. Why not Emigrant?
Mar 9, 2017 17:11
Options are Immigrant, Alien, citizen, Emigrant.
Mar 9, 2017 17:10
One who goes to settle in another country.

Can you please answer this question?

Thank you!

@skullpetrol Can you please share any link explaining this aspect of grammar?
Mar 9, 2017 06:26
@skullpetrol Thanks! But the guy is insisting that we have to use "their" instead of "the". I think the sentence is correct even without "their". But the guy isn't listening to me.

Hello! Can anyone tell me if there's any error in the sentence "All of you except Sheena have done the homework properly"?
I think the sentence is grammatically correct but someone is saying that it's incorrect. Can you please explain?

Hello! Please answer this." The book is well illustrated and attractively bound making all together/altogether an attractive volume". Which is right between all together and altogether?

@snailplane How thay are different?
Jan 29, 2017 04:11
@Man_From_India I didn't think it's wrong. But a person has been arguing with me saying prevent is wrong and deter is right. He further said that he learnt it from a British teacher. I said both are right. I asked here to confirm it.
Jan 29, 2017 04:03
@Man_From_India Consider the sentence "Tougher laws are needed to prevent people from drinking and driving".
Jan 29, 2017 03:55
@snailplane Is it wrong to say "to prevent people from drinking alcohol"?
Jan 28, 2017 23:37
@user2684291 I have no context. I want to know when to use an article and when to omit it. Could you explain to me with your own examples?
Jan 28, 2017 23:19
@user2684291 Can you please explain?
Jan 28, 2017 23:13
Hai! Can you please tell me whether we have to use the word "unnecessary pressure" with an article or without an article?
Jan 26, 2017 04:57
Thanks!
Jan 26, 2017 04:50
@mike So, a contemptible smile makes you feel contempt whereas a contepmtuous smile shows contempt. Am I right?
Jan 26, 2017 04:05
Can anyone explain to me the difference between contemptuous and contemptible? How and when to use them?
Jan 25, 2017 17:14
@snailplane Thank you. You've been very helpful.
Jan 25, 2017 17:09
@M.A.R. I'm not using it anywhere. I encountered it in a test.
Jan 25, 2017 16:58
Hello! Is it who or whom in the sentence below? Various employees, whom/who we met, echoed the sentiments expressed by the CEO of the company. I think we have to use whom but the answer is given as "who". Is it right? Can you please clear my doubt?
Jan 4, 2017 20:09
@user2684291@snailplane Yes. I got it. Thank you.
Jan 4, 2017 18:31
@user2684291 I was talking about the same!
Jan 4, 2017 18:28
I've seen a question related to this on ELU but couldn't understand the answers.
Jan 4, 2017 18:27
Can you please explain the difference in grammar?
Jan 4, 2017 18:24
Anyone please tell me what's the difference between "He is acting very strangely" and "He is acting very strange"?
Jan 4, 2017 17:59
Thank you, Mike!
Jan 4, 2017 17:43
He is the Shakespeare of India or He is a Shakespeare of India. Please tell me which is correct?
Jan 4, 2017 16:21
@Mick @DamkerngT. Thank you.
Jan 4, 2017 16:08
@DamkerngT. Can you please tell me why it seems strange? Any grammatical error?
Jan 4, 2017 16:05
@Mick Thank you. What does the sentence "Information technology not geared towards universal education would be a self-contained contradiction" mean? Is it grammatical?
Jan 4, 2017 15:59
@Mick I've many doubts like this. Can I ask here? Are you feeling any disturbance?
Jan 4, 2017 15:51
@Mick I was aked to find the error in the sentence. I know that I can say Not to speak of running, he cannot even walk. But I'm not sure of whether this is grammatical or not.
Jan 4, 2017 15:44
@Mick One more question. "What to speak of running, he cannot even walk". Does this sentence make sense?
Jan 4, 2017 15:35
Hello! Can anyone please tell me if I can say "Priya is leading a happy life after her retirement from her service."? Is there any error in the sentence?
Dec 23, 2016 17:05
@DamkerngT. Right. I've seen many sentences where should is not used. But to make sure of it, I asked here. Thanks!
Dec 23, 2016 16:55
Hello! Can I say
Walk carefully lest you fall. Somebody said you have to use "should" after "you". Is it mandatory to use "should" there?
Dec 22, 2016 17:08
@DamkerngT. Are you sure? I also thought so. But someone said it's grammatical.
Dec 22, 2016 16:50
Hello everyone one!
Is the sentence _He says he has have had three failed relationships_ correct?
Dec 20, 2016 06:30
Thanks for your elaborate explanation. I'll try to ask it on ELU.
Dec 20, 2016 05:58
@snailplane it's not my description. I've exactly copied what is given in the book. I too thought that it's not passive. Thanks!

Excuse me! Can anyone please helpe me solve this problem? I can't understand the question at all. Assume that the moon takes exactly 30 days to complete the cycle and also assume that it rises in the east exactly at 6.48 p.m on the first day. Then at what time will it rise on the 4th day?
