  1. The court has returned a verdict in my favour.
    I was not recommending him for the job. / I was not recommending that the job is suitable for him. (These are not the same but I don’t know which you mean.)

Beeesneees,

  1. What wine do you recommend us?
  2. What wine do you recommend for/to us?
    Are these sentences OK?
4

Only the second one.

5

Beeeneees,
Can I say : “I do not recommend him for the job.” in stead of “I was not recommending him for the job.”?
If it is right, how "What wine do you recommend us? " is wrong?
Please explain to me the grammar nuances involved?
Thanks.

============

In my view it could have been: "Which wine do you recommend (to) us?

7

Bev, can’t we say, “The court has pronounced a verdict in my favour” ?
Won’t this collocation be acceptable?

8

Beeesneees,
I am awaiting to see your comments.
Thanks.

Once again you are making the error of assuming that a structure is transferable in all contexts.

‘I do not recommend him for the job’ is fine. You are recommending him for something. (He is the subject of the recommendation)

‘What wine do you recommend us’ is wrong because you are not recommending yourselves. Someone else is recommending the wine to you. (The wine is the subject of the recommendation)

This is okay:
‘Please recommend us for the job.’ (You are the subject of the recommendation)

10

I’m sure you know that there are many synonymous words and phrases in English.

11

I could not reply sooner. I was busy. Please remember that the members of these forums have other things to do too and have some patience.

‘I am awaiting to see your comments’ is incorrect. These are possible:
I am awaiting your comments.
I would like to see your comments.

12

Beeesneees,
Can I say: “I am awaiting him.” OR
“I am awaiting him to talk to me.”?

13

I don’t think you can say so.
But, you may say: I am waiting for him. OR I am waiting for him to talk to me. [You can wait for someone and await something]

Bev, I hope, will elucidate it further.

14

Which is a better sentence

  1. This would give me lot of happiness
  2. A feeling of euphoria can only be achieved by doing this
  3. I’ll be elated by doing this
  4. It can only give me a feeling of eudemonia.
15

It really depends on the circumstances in which you want to use it.

16

But are all sentences correct?

17

They’re all possible.

Absolute I agree with me sir may the almighty the maker of the heaven and earth bless you in Jesus Christ name thank you. I never promise you but I will see what may I going to do!
Many thanks.
