Best answer
One of the learners' writing mistakes is subject-verb agreement. For example: If the subject is third person singular you add the suffix /S/ at the end of the verb 1-He suffers from malaria. If the subject is plural, you keep it as it is. 2-They suffer from Malaria. Thank you for your question and keep asking.
- Idioms, Phrases and Proverbs
What is the difference in the 3 words, also give an example of each. Identify the ones below. Make hay while the sun shines. He or she is a wallflower. Spare the rod and save the child.
Best answer
IDIOMS - group of words with different meanings from the actual words, eg. "It is raining cats and dogs." Are cats and dogs actually falling from the sky? no, it just means very heavy rain. The meaning is not literal. For example: It is raining cats and dogs I can't go out today. PHRASE - group of words that makes sense by itself but does not have a subject or verb. Therefore, it is usually used as part of a sentence. Eg. "Sick and tired" - sentence: I am sick and tired of school. This means, I hate school, I can't stand school. PROVERB - short popular saying that usually has some truth or useful thought or some life lessons. For example: "All that glitters is not gold." This means something or a situation may not be as good as it looks or seem. Eg. I purchased this beautiful dress, but the color changed in a week,all that glitters is not gold. Make hay while the sun shine (proverb/idiom He or she is a wallflower (idiom) Spare the rod and save/spoil the child(proverb)
- Sit down, stand up, bend down
Why do we say, sit down, when the only way is to sit, cause if you not sitting you are standing. What happens when you bend, can we bend up? then why say down.
Best answer
...and... you can definitely stand down... a verb not necessarily along the lines of physical action - or motion - like standing up, but it certainly has its own different meaning.
