@Xanne so can we also say: ...significant amendments were made in the rape law provisions....
Navdeep Singh
Jun 5, 2021 02:35
Why not "made for" in place of "made to"?
Navdeep Singh
Jun 5, 2021 02:35
Sentence: "In 2013, significant amendments were made to the rape law provisions in the Indian Penal Code, 1860".

Navdeep Singh

In my notes there's a rule that says for intransitive verb use adverb just after it. But here there are two verbs ("be" and "conduct")

@CowperKettle I agree with you. It just happened.
Navdeep Singh
Mar 6, 2021 15:04
@CowperKettle because of "for the last two hours" right?
Navdeep Singh
Mar 6, 2021 15:02
"I had been waiting for you for the last two hours but you did not turn up on time" -- Is this sentence correct?
Navdeep Singh
Mar 5, 2021 03:07

Navdeep Singh
Mar 5, 2021 03:07

@Xanne I guess Both "by" and "with" are correct
Navdeep Singh
Feb 25, 2021 07:28
@M.A.R. Hmm, I'd also use "by".
Navdeep Singh
Feb 25, 2021 07:13
Active: "He impresses his boss with his performance."
Passive: "His boss is impressed **at/by** his performance."
*At* is given correct here.
Reason??

Feb 16, 2021 15:30
@tchrist You called me dumb but you know what I still have same respect for you. You're a great teacher.
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 15:27
I don't understand why you guys judge others by just their languages or how they use them.
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:47
Or it's just it. We have to follow it.
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:47
Any justification?
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:47
I have a question: as we can write in figures and it's also faster than words so why it's preferrable to write in words?
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:42
Four times
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:42
Lol.
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:41
You corrected me 3 times during this 5 min of chat. Impressive.
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:40
Check.
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:39
Okay, got it.
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:39
That's kinda professional :D
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:38
How you'd say then?
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:37
"200 dollars are lying on the floor" but "200 dollars is a good amount of money" -- Right?
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:36
Are these videos for me?
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:32
That's weird reason -- cause I used "meters"
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:31
Me too. :(
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:31
But when it is changing or may change, like in the case of 500 meters are still remaining, then plural -- right?
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:30
Yeah, so basically when we define something, a fixed sum or amount then verb is singular, Am I correct?
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:26
300 meters are still remaining to reach the destination
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:26
For instance,
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:25
Yeah I got your point but in this case I think it should be were..
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:25
@tchrist Wait you're confusing me, what's answer according to you? Was or Were?
Navdeep Singh
Feb 16, 2021 14:23
I asked here just to confirm..
