- What is comparative for cute? More cute or cuter?
Need help. How to make the comparative correctly for the word “cute”? Is it “more cute” or “cuter”? Thanks!
Best answer
This adjective only has one syllable so you just say cuter... the general rule is that if an adjective as only one syllable, you just need to add 'er' or 'r' in this case since the word cute ends in 'e'.
- What to say if someone coughs or sneezes?
Hello! What should I say in English when someone sneezes or coughs to be polite?
Best answer
Hey, great question! Well, you actually have 3 high frequency options that are top notch to use anytime: first, if you believe in God, say "God bless you!" If you don't believe in God or you are afraid of offending someone who doesn't believe in God, say "Bless you!" And last but not least, a word in German that the English language has appropriated, "gesundheit!" Which basically means that you are wishing the person "health". All are totally acceptable in any situation that someone sneezes.
- I'm confused with the words anyday or any day, which is correct?
Is anyday a correct word? Or should I write it separately: any day?
Best answer
Any day is the more preferred when talking about a general time frame. Usually the term is used to describe something that is happening soon, as in the next couple of days, or any day. This is such an informal term that most dictionaries don’t list it as an actual term on its own. Unlike anytime, anyday has not made its way into dictionaries in any form. Argument could be made that if anytime is an adverb, then so is anyday. Like all informal slang, it is up to personal preference in informal works. However, until the time comes that it is included in a dictionary, it is best to keep the two words separate in formal works. For some, whether the writing is formal or informal.

The simple present verb is SLIP. Normally, when we change a verb to the past tense, the simple past verb will have an "ED"added to it. BUT, because the word SLIP has only one (1) syllable, we double the last letter before adding the "ED". The same rule will apply for other one-syllable verbs such as: Stop - stopPED , Step - StepPED .

how to abbreviate or make the word foundation more short? thank youuuuu
Best answer
upon researching if there is such an abbreviation for fountain, there is none found. although it is a noun as well as an object, this particular 'thing' refers to a structure. yet, you may wonder why 'street', 'avenue' and 'boulevard' have abbreviations respectively as st, ave & blvd ... probably the words are easily recognized as to what the words represent.
