Sentenseの例文や意味・使い方に関するQ&A

A: "In the hope" is a way to say "hoping". It could as easily say "Many had turned out, hoping that they would put pressure on police resources".

A: after all means that the person doubted they would get the 50 dollars but got it anyway they got it after all

A: Occasionally he was the goalie. Or in this case the person was a "substitute" or "backup." "On again off again" implies sometimes he was, and sometimes he was not the goalie.

A: Basically means that it’s unbeatable.

A: "No one I talked to knew a skinny redhead" means

話した人の中で、誰でも赤毛の痩せた人を知らなかった。

Or: "Out of all the people I spoke to, nobody knew a skinny redhead."

Apologies if my Japanese grammar is incorrect.

The basic sentence is:

"No one knew a skinny redhead"

The full sentence should be:

"No one [whom I talked to] knew a skinny redhead".

But "whom" is omitted in this case.

A: I wanted to go to the store, but was thwarted by a blizzard.

The difficult test questions stumped me.

A large construction vehicle impeded traffic.

Her knee injury hindered her ability to run.

I was stymied by the riddle she asked me.

A: The place offers clothes, accessories and sundry flowers.
You can find fruits, vegetables and sundries in the convenient store.

A: "For sure" is another way to say "definitely" or in some cases, "yes"

Examples:

Q: Will you be at the party?
A: "For sure!"

I do not want to eat meat, that's "for sure".

I am "for sure" going to be there next week.

A: Both of them mean the same thing, just a different way to say it. But “I can’t believe that” is much more natural, and also is used much more.

A: First of all, you don't need to use "to" after help. I.e. "I want to get a book to help understand the difference."

Overall, all of these sentences sound fine with that one change. I suppose 1 and 2 express more certainty that the book will help, but it's a very minor nuance.

A: Us smugglers is correct .
If they're catching your smugglers then it's ' our smugglers '

A: Here is another example. “I haven’t eaten since morning.” This sentence can be restructured to: “Not since morning have I eaten.”

The second sentence is a more literary way to say it. It isn’t used in speech very commonly.

So the structure is:
Not since [a point in time] have I [verb]

The sentence you gave can also be written as: “Not since the time that I was sharing a uterus…”
“the time that I was” is implied.

A: You can say "It takes ten to twenty months to set up." This sentence sounds the most natural!

A: "Please take notice..." or "You are requested to..." But not both. Both is a bit awkward.

Being requested to take notice like like... "I am requesting you to look at recognize/look at this, but you don't have to."

A: period in American English.

A: No, say "I got started learning english myself" or "I started learning english myself"

A: Mostly we talk how we'd speak. But we also just @ each other on posts a lot. Like, if I see a funny picture that reminds me of my friend I'll @ her in the comments so she gets notified and goes to look at it. She'd know that this means I thought it was relevant to her.

Otherwise, lol and lmao are common. Other slang and stuff is common too but it isn't really different from what we say out loud. Not that I can think of anyways :)

A: you have to say it like this ''I should stop translating the long sentences''
now it kind of make sense . hope this helps😊😊😊

A: 영어로 '이거 ___입니까? 아니면 이거 ____ (어떤 형용사)?'와 같은 구성으로 질문할 때는 'Are/is' 라는 말이 먼저입니다. 그 뒤에는 subject, 다음은 어떤 명사, 형동사, 등등. 문법에 따라서, 'Are these sentences natural?' 라는 문장이 더 자연스럽습니다.

그럼, 씨가 하는 문장은 대부분이 맞지만 'I decided TO stay AT my place. I will not move TO your place.'로 고쳤습니다.

좀 더 자연스러운 문장도 알려드릴께요!
I changed my mind. I decided to stay at my place, and will not be moving to yours. You can find another tenant.
(한국어를 잘 못해서 ㅠㅠ 실수하면 지적 좀 해주세요~)

A: "The last sentence doesn't make any sense to me."

Otherwise it's very good and natural. :)

A: I would say the main difference is emphasis but they aren't entirely swappable...
"all about this" sounds weird, here.
"all about that" sounds more emphatic to me, like they were bragging.

In my example:
It was green.
That was green.
This was green.

"It" just means "the banana"
"that" would be like それ/あれ
"this" would be like これ
