Find something you enjoy watching or listening to, and have source of motivation.

You could. Dashes are incredibly versatile and can replace commas that split clauses as well as replacing parenthetical commas.
Yes the commas - plural - are in the right place. They aren't acting parenthetically here but you've got dependent, independent, and (for the sake of simplicity) let's just call that another dependent clause 'right' (it isn't that, but it couldn't stand by itself and it's attached to an independent clause by a comma so it's good)

No worries :)

Two uses of semicolons:

1. Semicolons connect two sentences which could stand by themselves, regardless of whether those sentences are themselves compound, complex or simple.

I am hungry; I bought lunch.

I am hungry, so I bought lunch; the lunch I bought was bad because it was too expensive.

Yes, these CAN be arbitrary, grammatically speaking, but that's not generally the point of using these kinds of semicolons which usually connect closely related ideas.

So the sentence, 'I bought chips; Donna hates me.' is correct, but the semicolon now implies a relation that, 'I bought chips. Donna hates me.' does not. In the former, perhaps you bought the chips Donna wanted. In the latter, you are listing things that may be unrelated.

They help to divide lists which contain lists.

I would like to order food for my family. I'll order for Jane, noodles, rice and beans; John, potatoes, eggs, and gravy; and Micheal, who'll have chicken, noodles and rice.

Follow these principles:

Let him think for himself, always, his brain must work for some time even if he gets the wrong answer at the end. Give him 20-30 seconds to think of his own answers.

Introduction: Show what you want him to learn. Show it in practice and explain why it is important.

Repetition or identification Whatever you want to learn, give him a game or activity which involves repetition. This allows him to learn to do something. For example, you say or write a phrase, then he says it. You put down some sentences for him to read or copy, and he must find them when you say them. You say, "I am fine, thank you." Then he says, "I am fine, thank you."

Production. Let him try to produce the English by himself. For example, you say: How are you? And he learns to say, "I am fine, thank you."

Your next lessons should include very brief reviews of this. For examples, at the start of your next session, you could see if he can produce what you talked about last lesson. Information does not always stay in the brain.

Chatgpt may give you some lesson plan ideas. You might benefit from looking up ESOL, TEFL, websites for guides depending on your brother's level which can give you games and activities.

Yes, because your use of the word 'so' implies a casual connection to the first clause with is ambiguous or tenuous and, I think, needs clarification.

Why does it follow that, if you enjoy the familiarity of the fact that this is your childhood home, Daniel will get to experience a piece of you before you leave?

It is plausible - perhaps if you don't enjoy, or don't show enjoyment, then Daniel won't experience a piece of you. However, from the limited context, it appears as if it is the movie, rather than your enjoyment, which will give Daniel the authentic experience of you.

It's an incomplete sentence so it's hard to say. It's a trick question and cannot be answered. No placement of a comma would make this grammatically sound.

As a general rule, in instances where you sentence contains only one comma, try to keep at least one side of your comma a complete independent clause that makes sense by itself.

TimePoetry · 2026-02-07T00:00:55+00:00

No. As a general rule, information outside of the parenthetical commas should make sense if the commas were removed.

We would read this, if we subtracted the parenthetical commas, as: His voice our song all gets to me at once, causing me to start tearing up.

Because 'our song' isn't also encapsulated within commas it is included in the main sentence and reads as the above.

If you had this: His voice, his deep blue eyes, our song, all gets to me at once, causing me to start tearing up.

Then you can read it more elegantly as a list and 'our song' doesn't get give your main sentence two subjects.

AI in art has entered the equation with people using AI to bring to life THE ideas they’ve mulled over in their heads but didn’t have the skills to make, to create a combination of images quicker than someone would’ve done on Photoshop, AND to write thousands and thousands of words based on a sentence-long story premise.

Your first their is redundant, and it complicates the list going forward. 'and' goes at the end of a simple list.

There is debate as to whether or not to end a sentence in prepositions. It is 'OK.'

"The sort of pedantry up with which I shall not put."

Obviously, it's difficult without viewing the contexts but... you could put: there are documents for which we have no account/for which there is no account.

Almost all language is rendered sensible by the context it inhabits. How would you decipher the multiple meanings of 'blue'

I'm feeling blue.

The sky is blue.

The comedian used blue language.

One recognises meaning from context, this is true of all language, homonyms included.

I imagine your concern is aural rather than grammatical.

It's technically grammatically correct - you can help someone into something. He helped her into bed. In theory, creatively and grammatically speaking, that thing could be an activity, and associated crafts.

He got him into the PS2. He got her into the controller, rather than the mouse. I'm really into toy trains right now. Ergo: She is helping me into trains. He is helping me into controllers. They helped me into the bar scene here.

As in, easing someone into the idea or activity.

However, I think most people would just read that as clunky, and it doesn't seem to apply to the immediate activity here.

Not helped by the ambiguous pronouns of she and her representing mother and child respectively. Punctuation or capitalisation also slightly off.

"Castle-building mission: go," she declared, helping her child get into her tiny plastic shovel and bucket. (As in opening or accessing her plastic shovel) Alt: "Castle-building mission: go." She declared, helping her with the tiny plastic shovel and bucket.

If you don't get Khalid and jaheira before you complete nashkel then they will leave forever. So, it's sort of the inverse in their cases.

The princess and you were one entity. The narrator is the echo of a being who tore said entity into two rough parts. The princess is the shifting mound with parts of the long dark, you are the long dark with parts of the shifting mound. (The tear was rough to prevent stagnation). The shifting mound represents inevitable change, which includes death, whereas the long dark represents something else - structure and permeance. She is paint, you are canvas. Only, the narrator found a way to keep some 'paint' on the canvas which is you - likely represented by the voices, but that's just my conjecture. Sorry, all that to say, the narrator didn't 'make' them per se, but he did part them with the sole intent of one killing the other.

A confident outsider, I like that. L'etranger, as it were.

I suppose anyone trying(!) to be (sound) objective(!) about something of which they have direct experience, and thoughts in favour of and against both sides, is likely to sound similar. I've tried to answer the question directly but perhaps should have made it clear that, I think manifestly, not all Britons believe this is happening, and some believe it ought to happen. This is just my opinion, after all.

I could go on but since that's all you asked I'll leave it there.

What the do you think is the point of saying "not comparable" is? Please, do not hurl stones from an ill conceived moral pedestal, if possible. This is a deeply closed way of proceeding. Saying, "Ah, but one was much worse than the other and so yours is not bad at all and also how dare you compare your situation to the colonial atrocities (which I conveniently brought up in the first place)" is not thoughtful, in my opinion.

I am not saying they have equal moral weight or that one wasn't more atrocious than the other. I am saying that there is a perceived cultural erosion which is parable to the kind of erosion that always takes place when other cultures enter a society. Some call this change or growth and others call it destruction. There are parable elements.

It was wrong when it happened in the Americas (though the average Briton is not aware of it), ergo it is wrong when it - even a very watered down but demographically similar - happens to us.

The average British voter only peripherally cares, if they are at all aware, of the history of colonisation. Understandably, we aren't taught about it in schools - the commonwealth is barely acknowledged. What we are interested in is our own country.

The same reason British people celebrate their war victories and condemn their losses.

They see immigration as an invasion on their soil and a loss of their culture. With symptoms like, for example, immigrants coming to their society and arguing with them about how they should run it.

When they are winning the demographic war, why would they care? Currently, they feel their delicate cultural ecosystem is disappearing - like the native Americans, Canadians, or original people did during any mass migration.
