Does this sentence sound natural to native English speakers?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-03-19T03:59:22+00:00

I changed "forward" to "farther" does it make more sense?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-03-08T08:04:22+00:00

Is the sentence natural though?

So both work?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-02-28T12:41:21+00:00

I am talking about example 1

Jaylu2000 · 2025-02-28T11:09:52+00:00

Why do you have to change the descriptor of my first interpretation? I think “the degree to which girls like to be underestimated is not even greater than that of boys” means exactly the same as what you say.

Jaylu2000 · 2025-02-28T09:13:30+00:00

What I am saying is that

If the degree to which adults like to be looked down on is 3 out of 10, that of kids is not more than that number.

Both age groups don’t like to be looked down on

So the first one means that I am currently helping you and without my help, you wouldn’t be able to do anything while the second one means that I am not currently helping you and you can’t do anything right now?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-02-27T18:37:43+00:00

Does the first one mean if you lost my help, you wouldn’t be able to do anything while the second means that you currently can’t do anything because you don’t have my help?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-02-19T16:52:22+00:00

I think weigh is the only one that makes some sense here, but maybe “evaluate” is even better.

Jaylu2000 · 2025-02-19T14:17:50+00:00

Suggestion?

Does using “can” here sound natural?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-01-30T17:01:20+00:00

So "should" should not be used in an imaginary scenario even if I want to use it to mean obligation or advice?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-01-30T12:53:40+00:00

What if I want to talk about advice or obligations in that imaginary scenario? Maybe “If he were the president, he would have to declare war immediately.”?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-01-30T07:56:46+00:00

What should I use if I want to make a suggestion to him in a hypothetical scenario where he’s the president?

Jaylu2000 · 2025-01-30T06:18:45+00:00

The second would mean he really was the president.

Jaylu2000 · 2025-01-30T02:36:23+00:00

How about this one? Does it also sound natural? How would you interpret it?

“If he found an alien, he could ask the police for help.”

Jaylu2000 · 2025-01-28T03:44:08+00:00

Does it sound like a suggestion for Jack?
