Question

What is the correct answer in this sentence, and why? "Gloria Arroyo is a good leader. Many____ (woman/women) admires her."

Donagan

Top Answerer

The word "many" implies more than one (plural). Therefore, you say "women" (plural) rather than "woman" (singular). Use "admire" to match "women." One woman admires her, but "many women admire her."

Question

Why study English grammar?

Donagan

Top Answerer

If you want English speakers to take you seriously or consider you knowledgeable or persuasive, you will want to use proper grammar when you speak or write in English. If you don't care about that, then there's no need to bother with it.

Question

How must I write the time correctly, in numerical form or spelled out?

Community Answer

In numerical form, unless it is "on the hour," such as 4:00, in which case it is also correct to write 4 o'clock.

How do I know when to double a consonant in the middle of a word, like in 'commission'?

Donagan

Top Answerer

There is no rule for that. It's just a matter of memorizing which words have single consonants and which have double.

Question

Can I get a job as a TEFL teacher in Vietnam if I am a non-native English speaker? If yes, how?

Crystal031305

Community Answer

It's okay if you're non-native. You just have to be fluent in English. If you are, then explain that to the person interviewing you or whoever you are talking to, to get the job. If you have a non-Vietnamese accent though and you have another strong foreign accent (not American or British), it might be hard.

Question

What is the difference between "I have visited" and "I visited"?

Community Answer

They are very similar in meaning. "I visited" is past tense and implies a single visit in the past. "I have visited" is present perfect tense and implies the possibility of more than one visit in the past.

Question

What book is the best for learning English?

Community Answer

Although the dictionary is the best for defining words, it isn't very concise and still requires you to know some of the language.
