Hi! I'm a Japanese who studying English! Would you check my English? I have an English test this month. Is this sentence correct?

please help what will be the correct answer??

1) Tom fired a shot to the right. Then he fired a second shot to the left.

Isn't that sentence ambiguous? How many shots did he fire to the left?

2) Kate fired a shot to the right. Harry fired a second shot to the left.

How many shots did Harry fire to the left?

I’m looking for someone to practice English with regularly. My current English level is around B2, and I want to improve my fluency, speaking skills, and confidence.

I don’t really have anyone to practice English with, so I’d love to find a language partner who is also interested in practicing regularly.

We can have casual conversations about everyday life, hobbies, movies, work, or anything interesting.

If you’re interested, feel free to DM me. 

1) His house is two miles away from ours.

2) His house is two miles from ours.

3) His house is two miles of ours.

4) His house is two miles off of ours.

5) His house is two miles off of the main road.

Which are correct?

Gratefully,

The word protest NEEDS a preposition before the noun phrase and, lately, I see many instances where it does not get one.

I get most upset about this.

Let’s take an example:

“He protested the low wages.”

This is incomplete without context.

If “he” was the worker then the preposition would be “against”. If “he” was the boss then the preposition would be “for”.

Why are media reporters doing this? I’m in Australia and the ABC is a standout offender. I believe I’m fairly progressive in my views but this is just outright offensive. How dare reporters assume that there is only one way in which to protest.

Yours,

Orwell 😆

P.S. I’m a first-time poster so am nervous about all the grammatical mistakes I’ve made in this post. Please be gentle.

Serious question:

Is it:

“Because it bit my finger so.”
“Which finger did it bite?”

Or:

“Because it bit my finger.”
“So, which finger did it bite?”

Is this a ambiguous question, or am I supposed to understand whether a comma is needed or a em dash is needed during the actual SAT
P.S. ChatGPT made this

1) There is one thing they know I won't do.

2) There are four books by Dickens she thinks I have read.

3) There is a crime they suspect you have committed.

Are these sentences correct?

template

1) They involuntarily increased my working hours.

2) They involuntarily extended my working hours.

3) They increased my working hours without my consent.

Can one use 1 and 2 instead of 3?

My boss said let’s do ‘example’ this monday, which i can argue was yesterday (31st august) and he thinks that next monday is the monday 2 weeks away (14th september)
I think next monday is **the next** monday coming up.
Please help me settle this argument.

I've been wondering whether using grammar checkers regularly actually improves someone's editing ability, or whether it just makes the software better at catching things for you.

There's a weird difference between knowing that a sentence is wrong and being able to recognize why it feels wrong on your own. I've noticed that after editing the same kind of writing for a while, I start recognizing certain patterns without thinking about them as much.

Then there are other things that still slip through because I'm too familiar with what I wrote. A conversation about this recently somehow ended up mentioning quetext in passing, but the more interesting part was the question of whether these tools teach you anything over time or simply become another step in the proofreading routine.

I'm curious what other people have experienced.

If you've used grammar or writing-checking tools for a long time, do you feel they've actually improved your understanding of grammar and editing, or do you still depend on them to catch the same kinds of mistakes?

What’s the difference in a and d?

I know that both can be used as a modifier as long as the part before the punctuation is a full clause when using a colon. But here it seems to be fine for both a and d.
What’s the difference?

Hi there I would like to know the difference between due to and because of in grammar please

My wife and I got discussing this the other day, and it has me curious.

Is there an English grammar rule that has no exception?

All sentences end in a period.......except if your asking a question.

I before E.......except after C

Verb plurality is dependent upon the closest noun.......except that depends if your using an or statement or an and statement.

Subject (noun) first then verb........except if you're using passive voice.

Other languages have hard and fast no exception rules, but not English (that I can think of). Am I wrong?

Can i say "when the morning sunlight shines upon my face as im waking up..."

The other option is "when the morning sunlight hits my face..." but i dont like that one because of the "hit" so i was wondering if the first one is correct to use

Maybe i should mention that this isnt for a poem or anything, the rest of the sentence goes "and i get the meaning of life again" because it happend this morning and i tought of it and just wanted to post it on pinterest with a pretty backround, thats about it

I was wondering what the differences between these three are. I asked ChatGPT, and it could distinguish only one from the others: put, which is rougher sense. What are the differences between the other two?

English is not my first language, but I use it a lot at work, especially for writing. I read English all the time, so it helps, and I rarely see the use of semicolons in the books.

When I write something in English, I use the LanguageTool site to correct my grammar and make sure everything is right (since the site has AI but is not obligated to use it). However, there's always a correction to place ; where I placed a , or . and it makes me confused, because I don't see it being this common in English grammar. What's the correct use of a semicolon in English? Is the LanguageTool actually good, or should I use other grammar correction apps/sites?
