Don't want Joe cheating and just watching the movie of the same name.
We can negotiate here and find a solution, how about this one
Could also goto 5:52 and see an option i know Banky and Joe can hang with
It’s “more than”.
Maybe this can be your next purchase on Amazon:
Hey, I'm so glad you reached out. It can be really hard to come forward about that. I went and read some of your post history and you're certainly not close to illiterate. You're generally using the language quite well. I'm a seasoned writing tutor and I definitely would not say you have major writing problems. You just appear to be making some common mistakes that derive from not having an in-depth understanding of what the grammatical components are doing and why.
If you'd like a thorough grammar foundation, I would suggest a manual and/or workbook like this (please don't be offended by the "For Dummies" - I really like their books because they're written in a way that acknowledges that you actually have a life outside the topic). If you prefer videos, you might have some luck on YouTube with grammar lessons aimed at intermediate English language learners, but you'll probably have to do more piecing together your own "syllabus". Additionally, many communities offer adult literacy class. You may be too advanced for what your community has to offer, and/or they may have some services suspended currently, but it's worth a look. You might also consider looking into local community colleges and seeing if they have a writing 101 that you may be able to audit.
Finally, for the short-term, Grammarly has a free extension for at least Firefox. Here's an example of how it works.
Do feel confident in what you can do right now, and hope you enjoy learning more!
As others have said, it needs to be the same subject for both clauses. As explained in this page from A Handbook of Japanese Grammar Patterns which I personally think is the one absolute best and most complete[*] "all in one" books for most grammar points.
[*] admittedly there's not everything and it's good to integrate it with A Dictionary of Basic/Intermediate/Advanced Japanese grammar and various other online articles / stackexchange posts, but if I have to pick only one resource that would be it.
Ha!
I originally wanted to do this for A Handbook of Japanese Grammar Patterns for Teachers and Learners, but that book is intense and I had no idea how to OCR it lol
It worked out though since there are fewer examples per grammar point there and it probably would have been overkill
nothing beats self-learning with "The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS". https://www.amazon.com/Official-Cambridge-Students-Answers-DVD-ROM/dp/1107620694
for speaking, there are online student communities, and some freelancers work as online tutors (google it).
You are correct - I have no skill reading your jumbled word salads that are devoid of punctuation, grammar, spelling, and are not even remotely related to the topic at hand. And I don’t care enough to try.
If you want your insults to land, you’ll need to drastically improving your writing. Here’s a resource to get you started.
Depends on the age, but:

Dear Zoo and The Very Hungry Caterpillar still lurk around my house, despite me pretending to be an adult.

This one’s on sale! Maybe give it a read before you try to type again. It’ll stop you from looking like a complete dumbass.
Alright, so first things first: you have to find a sheep at your nearest rural area. Next, go buy this book from Amazon. After that, find your nearest firstborn (don’t worry it doesn’t have to be yours) and follow the instructions on page 63. Lastly, once you’ve made it past the 12th instruction, complete the remaining nine sacraments in an Orlando Mc’Donalds play place. Only then will your Alexa/Google Home stop recording you when you mute it. I feel like everyone here should know this by know. The opted out option is written on nearly every page 2 in every terms of service that you’ve signed. Don’t you people read those?
here is a book on english grammer you might wanna read before you make any arguments.
I prefer the Handbook of Japanese Grammar Partterns (https://www.amazon.co.jp/Handbook-Japanese-Patterns-Teachers-Learners/dp/4874246788, it’s cheaper and there are more grammar points in just one book, I also like its layout.
Maybe give him this book for guidance
It's the kind of stuff where you start to get it eventually by seeing it used many times in natural language. I wouldn't overthink it.
For the most part it's just "is called" or "so-called" or "is said" but thinking about it in English doesn't help honestly, it just holds you back. It's a piece of Japanese grammar that doesn't have 1:1 representation in English for every situation and you can only get some kind of feeling for it. Deep down when used in this kind of usage (especially というのは) it simply means that it refers to the nomenclature/definition of something, or "so-called <thing> is..." etc etc. But honestly, it's hard to define properly without going into some overly-complicated explanation that will do you no good. Just see it used over and over in natural language and you'll get it much more easily.
Here are some more examples and possible usages (not exhaustive) of という taken from this book
Awww, I'm sorry. I didn't realize three little sentences were too difficult for you to read. All of your remedial responses make complete sense now.
As a parting gift, I suggest picking up a copy of The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle. It's a classic children's book that will help you learn to read.
Inb4 "another diatribe" lmao
It's okay. I won't reply anymore. You can have the last word that you're so desperate for. Maybe it will help you grow up. kek
“Where is it written that a vaccine creates immunity in 99%? Many vaccines do not create full sterilizing immunity but are still effective in preventing disease. Such false statements are examples of why antivaxxers are considered scientifically illiterate.”
See that question mark at the end of your first sentence? That’s a question, champ.

I also suggest you have a good look at Basic English Grammar For Dummies - US (For Dummies (Language & Literature)) https://www.amazon.com/dp/1119063477/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_MBBD187KCPAX9NVAD3AV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Because fuck me side ways with a cactus, your teachers failed you.
Yeah, these are definitely going to be an issue for you. Here is a great book on dealing with them. The Very Hungry Caterpillar https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399226907/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_JFX0TVW1YN14R4QKTG2C
The Official Cambridge Guide to IELTS for Academic & General Training with Answers. I've been using it to plan my classes, and it works great. The exercises are short and are meant to be developed individually. It's helped my students score between Bands 5.5 to 8.5 (so, B2 - C1), and I'm talking about mixed-level ESL classrooms, which can be tricky because you need to cater to the individual needs of everyone. The book covers all the little skills that are used in the test, not just the 4 major ones, and it differentiates between Academic and General Training tests.
You are a different type of stupid kiddo.
I didn't try to criticizes or corrects your grammar. I only wished to understand what the fuck is your problem.
That's why I used:
>Please try again
But maybe I was wrong, it's not your english that is the problem, but that you are simply mentally challanged to write a sentence that is understandable.
As your comments bad grammer is not the problem but that those words you tossed into that sentence doesn't form a coherent thought.
​
Also if you already called me a grammar nazi than let's fix that.
It's not "conceding" but condescending you idiot.
condescending:
having or showing an attitude of patronizing superiority.
So far only this comment of mine was condescending towards you.
​
The next plot twist will be that you are a flat earther other than a person who can't form an intelligible thought.
​
This one is what I'd recommend. DoJG series (not just the first volume) is pretty good, but I think HJGP is much better content-wise. Ideally, you should have both.
Nah, I don't want to bug you at work. Good book for you to pick up: https://www.amazon.ca/Basic-English-Grammar-Dummies-US/dp/1119063477/ref=asc\_df\_1119063477/?tag=googleshopc0c-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=312937376293&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5630171034303589357&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&a...
Turd, not terd.
Might want to invest in this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Basic-English-Grammar-Dummies-Literature/dp/1119063477/ref=sr_1_7?dchild=1&keywords=english+for+dummies&qid=1626965939&sr=8-7
Again using proper grammar is paramount in communication in a static web based environment. Myself and others do not possess the ability to read your mind. We can NOT hear your thoughts/ voice. Our only indication of a question would be a (?) it is that simple.
I applaud your use of a (?). Although the sentence is fragmented you replied with, I am however able to understand that you appear to be asking me a question ( do I know what an argument is? ). But you didn’t make yourself fully understood? You said “. You don’t know what an argument is, don’t you? Although your sentence has a question (?) You’re not asking a question in that if you were the (?) would come after “is” in your sentence response. It is still coming off as a statement.
Let’s do this. Read the below book and let’s circle back in a few weeks?

How about this one to start with? Very Hungry Caterpillar
Although numbers seem to be a sore spot for you, so maybe Annos Counting Book might be good as well.
One more thing: I picked up on you saying "in the course" so I assume you're US American? I was surprised to learn in British English they say "on a course"! I was sure I'd read it wrong the first time, lol.
If you are indeed from the US, study your ass off with UK language books. They say you won't be marked down for teaching "American" English but I did in fact get marked a few times in comment for not using British grammar/pronunciation.
English Grammar In Use and subsequent books basically covers what they want in terms of British English spelling/how to formulate grammar, etc...
