Hi every body
Hi teacher, could I have your comments please?

I’ve heard these two sentences,
We have a picture of yours
We have a picture of you

Is it related to British or American grammars?

(Worse vs. worst),
would you explain the difference?

(From vs. of)
Could we use (from and of) interchangeably

Most the speakers of Germans
Most the speakers from Germans

My GPA is 3 out of 4
My GPA is 3 out from 4

Hi red,

Most the speakers ARE German.

My GPA is 3 out of 4.

These are correct, for the rest of your questions please wait for someone else. :slight_smile:

I’ll take a shot.

The first case is the same as “we have your picture” which does not necessarily mean that you are in the picture. In the second case, you are in the picture.

Good, better, best.
Bad, worse, worst.

Generally, no; sometimes, yes. Someone else might be able to give a better answer but, for me, it is idiom at we need to get used to with experience.

4

We have a picture of yours.
We have a picture of you.

They have the same meaning.

This essay is worse than the last one.
This is the worst essay that I have ever read.

Hi Red,
You can not say “Most the speakers are of Germans”, and also this one “most the speakers are from Germans”, you should say “most of the speakers are from Germany.”
If you want to use “of” in your sentence, you should say “most of the speakers of Germany are talent.(for example)” and if you want to use “from” you should change the “Germans” to “Germany” because “from” here refers to a place not the people of that place.
