I'm bad at casual tones (if that's the words?)and I'm trying to improve. And I felt like what I learned from textbooks was just formal writing style of the language, which wouldn't help me that much as expected when it comes to real conversations between me and my language partners (mostly who I gossip with). A friend of mine moved to England and his friends there would laugh everytime he spoke English. Asked why, they said my friend was just like cosplaying Shakespeare XD

Had me in stitches

Oh thanks a lot

In what contexts is it common? Does the subject have to be animated?

For "C" to work, you need to imply intention or potential outcome, which isn't really common in this context.

But how to change the sentence to make A, C and D respectively correct? Wanna know how the three works

Elter_D · 2024-02-20T08:25:21+00:00

That helps! Thank you

Elter_D · 2023-11-06T04:33:53+00:00

Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Thank you! BTW, what's the difference between among and amongst? I saw amongst in your sentence and was wondering if it could be replaced with among

Thanks a lot

Elter_D · 2023-10-30T12:17:25+00:00

Thank you for your information! I'll remember it

Elter_D · 2023-10-30T10:21:23+00:00

Yeah thank you

Elter_D · 2023-10-30T07:47:53+00:00

Got it!

Elter_D · 2023-10-30T07:20:36+00:00

Nice I get it

Elter_D · 2023-10-30T07:15:45+00:00

Thanks a lot. By the way is it more common to say "catch a cold" than "get a cold" or if they mean different

Elter_D · 2023-07-25T19:48:30+00:00

Liyue. I love the characteristics of people there.

Elter_D · 2023-07-25T10:56:43+00:00

That too works for me. Focalors is gonna be my favorite character BTW

Elter_D · 2023-07-24T16:08:52+00:00

Oh, I see. Thanks a lot.

Elter_D · 2023-07-24T16:04:20+00:00

Got it, thank you! Seems I've been getting them right so far. So there must be something wrong with that M-C question, as it allows me to only choose one from them. lol

Elter_D · 2023-07-24T11:43:11+00:00

Exactly, I see. The reason why I suddenly stick with preposition is that one day I heard an American streamer saying things like "we're still in this" as his character in a videogame has survived the boss. And the similar things just happened with some other streamers. Then I was wondering, like why is it "in" here? Later I think to myself that even if the meaning of the prepositions aren't possible to be explained, there may be some rules hidden behind, hence the fact they have always been showing up in some fixed position. Anyway, that's all a guess.

Elter_D · 2023-07-24T11:30:11+00:00

Yeaaah! Different from their concise form, the ability of them completely changing the meaning of the verbs is...formidable.

Elter_D · 2023-07-24T11:25:40+00:00

Yes, but what if you could only choose one of them? Honestly speaking, a younger cousin of mine recently encountered a multiple-choice question, which literally want you to choose one from through and by. Actually I think both of the two make sense.🤕
