What’s the difference in meaning between the following two sentences? Are the both grammatically correct?
Let’s have something to eat.
Let’s eat something.
Can you explain why they are different in meaning or point out the problem?
I don’t think there is much difference between your sentences, they are both grammatically correct. My 10 year old son says the first one sounds like something his friend’s mother might say to him when he was a guest, while the second is what the friend might say, so maybe the second is a bit more informal - so that is the 10 year old’s perspective!
I think you and your kid
Let us have(take/receive and so on) something to eat.
Like, Have a cup of tea
‘receive’ would not be natural there at all.
‘take’ would sound very formal.
‘have’ is usual.
Yes ,Beees–,
You will be surprised in Bangladesh, people are more felt convenient if they use receive/take/wish/want instead of ‘Have’ that is common with the native speakers.
That was why I tried to make a light here when Luchen was shown him even a little kid is accustomed to make this usage, no, not all non natives are habituated or known it much yet.
He would have had her believe that he was innocent.
Non native speakers won’t understand this sentence immediately as I used to observe at my class as an infrequent TOEFL teacher.
Well, I am much happy to make exchanging these views with the native speakers.
Thanks.
Do you have a hair cut in a month?
Exactly, what does it(Have) mean here?
Is it receive or take?
or That sentence looks odd to the native ears?
That sentence appears very odd, but it is about receiving a hair cut.
I suspect you mean this:
Do you have your/a hair cut every month?
Thanks Beeess-,
Again, doesn’t it look redundancy as we usage ‘your’ when we are asking-
Do you have a —isn’t it ‘you’ mean yours here?
It is my inquiry only, though the other natives might have the same opinion as you say.
Best regards.
It’s not a redundancy. It’s a natural way of speaking.
I anticipated you then.
Is this a correct style to the context?
