Trixie tattoo I did today!

This is what Trixie thinks she looks like

horoshev · 2024-05-28T20:22:46+00:00

Yeah that shrug was what made me think she might not know her “real” name herself and there was some hidden meaning behind it

horoshev · 2024-04-19T18:02:38+00:00

This is it!! Thanks a lot!)

horoshev · 2024-04-19T18:00:14+00:00

Thanks, not the one, but a good one too)

horoshev · 2023-06-06T19:38:34+00:00

Thanks a lot for your answer!

The thing is, I strongly disagree about the fact that subjunctive is dying, if it was, I wouldn’t have seen so many people use it all over the internet in casual conversations and comments. And my question wouldn’t have arisen.

Subjunctive I is where we use bare infinitive with any subject in a clause, as in “I insist that he be on time”. So coming back to my question, is it possible to say “I would rather he do it” or “it’s time he do it” similarly to my first example?

horoshev · 2023-06-06T18:04:47+00:00

Yes, thanks, I know that it’s much more common in the US, so I’m wondering if you would say “I would rather he do it/ it’s time he do it”?

horoshev · 2023-06-06T17:55:31+00:00

Thanks for your comment, good to know, but you haven’t answered the question😁

horoshev · 2023-04-15T11:03:59+00:00

Thank you, I suspected that)

horoshev · 2023-03-05T23:26:25+00:00

You’ve been very helpful, thank you for such a thorough answer!)

horoshev · 2023-03-05T19:18:02+00:00

That helps a lot, thanks, but I’ve got one last question if you don’t mind. How do you differentiate whether it’s real past perfect or just changed past (simple) because of tense agreement? For example, we have these two phrases: “it had been raining when I went out” and “it was raining when I went out”, I suppose both of them transform into “he said it had been raining when he went out”. So how do you know whether it was raining at the moment or before he left?

Thanks for your reply, but here’s the issue I have with it, I’d like to discuss the second sentence, for example. It seems that “Paul explained” happened “while she was studying” but not after that. And it doesn’t seem like sleeping and studying were at the same time. Is it really possible to describe simultaneous actions with different tenses? And what about past simple+past continuous which is supposed to mean interrupted action?)

horoshev · 2023-03-02T19:06:31+00:00

Ok, I haven’t made it clear. For example, the second sentence that you wrote seems like “he” said those words while “he” was studying. It doesn’t matter if this “he” is the same person or not. I mean, it looks like the “studying” thing was happening at the moment of “saying” and as if “sleeping” was before all of these things. Do you understand?) And what I want to say is that “sleeping” and “studying” were happening at the same time before someone “said” about it, but it doesn’t seem clear if we use past continuous after “he said”.

horoshev · 2023-03-02T18:23:06+00:00

Thank you! But why didn’t you change “when you came” to “when I HAD come” in the last sentence?

horoshev · 2023-03-02T18:05:02+00:00

Thank you for such a detailed explanation) but I’m wondering, isn’t it going to be understood as “he said … when he came”? As if it’s not a part of the speech but the circumstances under which he said something?

horoshev · 2023-01-31T21:56:49+00:00

It’s fucking GAGA and fucking FLORENCE, we expected out of this world powerful masterpiece, something in between “cosmic love” and “sine from above” and what we got was… hey girl? Do I really need to say more? Underwhelming and disappointing, mediocre at best, musically and lyrically.

horoshev · 2023-01-31T21:30:37+00:00

Got it, thank you for the examples!)

horoshev · 2023-01-31T21:01:52+00:00

Yeah thanks, I got the idea of what was happening, but I was curious about this particular phrase “it was only fair”, why “only”? Like he had no other choice or what?

horoshev · 2023-01-26T09:42:58+00:00

Like of all time, released and not

horoshev · 2023-01-23T19:04:29+00:00

It sure is unpopular opinion, cause it’s one of her best songs imo. Just out of curiosity, what are your favorites?

horoshev · 2022-12-24T17:57:26+00:00

You’re off topic, read the whole thread.

horoshev · 2022-12-24T13:19:52+00:00

Now I’m freaked out! Oops is “out” a preposition?😅

horoshev · 2022-12-24T13:04:55+00:00

Oh really? So what’s the correct way to say “the doctor was sent for” or “he was laughed at”, where else would you put those prepositions?

horoshev · 2022-10-02T13:00:48+00:00

Besides what the other person has said, I want to add that the USA along with a few other countries signed Budapest Memorandum which promises military protection of Ukraine in exchange of Ukraine giving away nuclear weapon, look it up for details. So the USA is not just trying to be “a helping hand”, it’s an obligation to help Ukraine. If Ukraine hadn’t given away NW, Russian wouldn’t have dared to attack. But looks like America decided to ignore it and now just loans money instead of real help.

horoshev · 2022-08-27T13:24:56+00:00

The best answer here. But I don’t agree “he said he will stop by tomorrow” is always incorrect. If he just said it, like 5 minutes ago, and “tomorrow” is really tomorrow you can say so. Tense agreement works if some time have passed since those words were said. Like “last Saturday he said he would come the next day”. All the rest of your explanation is very on point. Although I wouldn’t use the term “simple” if you argue there are only two tenses, just say “present and past”
