Sorry M.M.
Let him there be an ending of the matter by his own capacity as we are really disintersted .
Is this correct sir ?
Thanks in advance as you have shown patience at my writing !
Let there be an end of the matter.– This is a fixed phrase, and is common and natural though rather formal.
him…by his own capacity – I don’t know what you mean to say with this.
as we are really disinterested. – This part is OK if you mean ‘because we really don’t care’.
Yes sir ,it is a fixed phrase -Let there be —
As a general people I am , could I place ‘him’ between the let and there -it was my query at previous post ?
Great poet Mr. Shakespear’s many excerpeted or sentences I once examined through the MS grammar checker in '95 , result was -a lot of objections !
Anybody may still check my funny matters now .
Pls. Mr. M.M. what is your openion/s in this kind regard ?
Again thanks in advance .
Mr. M.M. what is your openion/s in this kind regard ?– I presume that you mean about inserting ‘him’. You cannot insert ‘him’ with ‘there’ in that fixed phrase. You can use another fixed phrase with another meaning:
Let him be, because he is enjoying himself. – ‘Let him be’ = Leave him alone; do not disturb him.
Do not ever use Shakespeare for your model of good English. His English is beautiful to read but it is 400 years out of date.
Absolutely you are right , I should have implied that after mentioning ‘Shakespear’.
In subcontinent like whole India , Shakespear is still a myth including in English literature ang Language dept. at Universities level , what about in today’s varsities of Uk and in the USA ?
I have really no idea at all Mr. M.M. his present accepatabilty in the west though my subject was business ,I like him for his practical knowledge -like 'To be or not to be that is the question ’
Shakespeare is studied as literature, not as a model of contemporary grammar or vocabulary. The English grammar of his time is no longer acceptable.
Ah ! I see ,our great Shakespear is now burried for ever !
'We all consider it wrong to cheat in the exam ’ Instead if I say , ‘We all consider it is wrong to cheat in the exam’ - Is there any inconsistency in the grammatical rule ?
'We all consider it wrong to cheat in the exam ’ Instead if I say , ‘We all consider it is wrong to cheat in the exam’ - Is there any inconsistency in the grammatical rule ?-- No. Two different ways of saying the same thing.
Thanks .
'By 2035 , the scientists will must have been discoverd live in the other 216 planets where they have already discovered above 1 thousand planets. ’
Is the whole sentence correct ?
No, you cannot make a future (‘will’) of a modal verb (‘must’).
Thanks.
Should I use here (previous)‘the’ before 2035 ? like -By the 2035—
again ‘I heared my name mentioned lastly’ or
‘I heard my name was mentioned lastly’ Are both correct ?
This is an interesting question.
When indicating years, ‘the’ is incorrect, The correct form would simply be:
By 2035…
unless you are specifying the fact that you are speaking about years:
By the year 2035…
or specifying a portion of that year:
By the end of 2035…
I heard my name mentioned last. (My name was called out last on the list)
Lastly, I heard my name mentioned. (My name was mentioned at the end of everything else)
Thanks you.
'He is a six millions dollars man . ’ or
‘what kind of a man he is ?’ or
‘His mother-in-laws are not pleasent character !’
Are there any grammatical pitfall ?
Oh yes, I think you can probably work out where the ‘pitfalls’ are too!
‘He is a six-million dollar man’ / ‘He is six-million dollars-worth of man.’
See this thread for an explanation:
english-test.net/forum/ftopic73003.html
What kind/type of man is he?
Their mothers-in-law are not pleasant characters. (I’ve changed ‘his’ to ‘their’ because generally speaking a man only has one mother-in-law because he only has one wife!)
Thanks .
Generally why not ‘Who am to blame ?’ instead of ‘Who is to blame ?’
Because “am” is used with the pronoun “I” only.
Who am I to blame you for the disaster.
but
Who is to blame for the disaster.
It would you who are not to blame says living in 'Big apple ’ instead ‘New York’ !
It would I (formally never ‘me’ ) who am to blame say ‘It would not me’ instead ’ I’, also ‘Red hut’ instead of Canada !
Do you feel any discomfort above the patterns ??? Or is it 'Ipso Facto ’ ? Mr. Latin 'Tort"
Please, Koreanlab - you are going far beyond your range of ability in English, and you need to review the basics of grammar. Your sentences simply make no sense. Please present us with simpler sentences as examples.
- ‘It would I’ is an impossible formation by any measure. How do you explain that in terms of Subject -verb - object?
- ‘You…says’ must be obviously wrong, even to you.
- And why would you attempt to insult Our Tort System, who is only trying to help you? This is what it seems you are doing, by inserting many phrases for which you do not know the uses, like ‘ipso facto’ and ‘Mr Latin’.
Thanks for your proactive responses !
Well, I am learning not teaching anybody that is why I need to know the reaction positively . Reaction is coming - it does mean our learning is going well !
It is I -I learned it from 'Barron’s ’ TOEFL suggestion book . another sources I learned why the ‘nominative case’ would be at the object position , because 'He is a doctor ’ subject and object same person -there you must use ‘nominative case’ ,
but in conversation world still Americans ask - who is there ? answer -It is me -like informal as 'talking came first not grammar . ’ where reputed grammarians( I believe you are one of them ) shown us why it will be ‘I’ at formal standard written English (refer: Better English by Norman Lewis)
I think your tense partially now have gone out though I know still somebody knocking at me to explain more -wel come .
Oh ! So far my knowledge ‘Tort’ word derived from the Latin ‘Tortum’ which is not a positive sense and ‘Ipso facto’ might mean -‘relevant’
Adding Mr. MM.
I particularlly have been following many ‘hard core’ Grammar books .
I entered here (positively) to watch what the modern Grammarian want to say .
I follow almost 15 Grammar books beside me ,like one ‘Better English’ by Norman Lewis I believe ‘the Bible of English Grammar’ !
Upon searching internet based English learening , I started just one year, so far my knowledge in internet those are smart enough in computer ,particularlly they are amused very much to hear other persons suggestion without knowing the that specific person’s authenticity and quality he or she possessed (never mind I am not implying anybody here , pardon me if this writing goes that way ) but real world is not that .
Mr. Lewis worked very hard for his ‘Better English’ in around I guess 1970 last. He used to send letters to renowned English Grammarians , English News Editors , Media Guru in the USA and other speaking English language countries. Anyone can find these abridged version of comments (Hundreds and hundreds)from renowned Grammarians in his book.
If you ask anybody to achieve his graduation certificate by internet and he achieves that through ‘on line’ - as a employer you and all forum members here ,which certificate will be more authenticate to you still now ? Another came out from ,say 'Harvard university ’ with directly campus not ‘on line’ Harvard certificate ?
Certainly , you understand what I mean . Yes, situation is going change rapidly , one day people may prefere ‘on line’ Phd degree as well but the time has yet to come .
Thank you all you have patience to read my writing , I am sorry if you see any spelling and other discrepency which must have no MS word checker at my computer at this moment.
