I am an international student, but my native English teacher said that it is true, and when I checked it with Grammarly it also did not show any mistakes in it.
But as far as I know, after modifier there should be noun (I) instead of "has been"
If it is valid, which grammar rule it is?
I’d imagine what with all the different tenses (preterite, conditional, etc) that some people, especially elementary students, would get mixed up, am I right?
Turks do this a lot while writing in Turkish and it is quite annoying.
Or is this just one of those weird things about English being such a clusterfuck of a language?
If you have to write the right name of the person and the rules of grammar change (from the country that belongs the person), like the accentuation, for example. Would the deathnote come with a update? The name Müller if it was removed the two dots ( i dont know the english name for it) from german's grammar, the deathnote would come with a update?
.I am not american
Yes I’ve been on Facebook recently.
And is there much mixing of the languages in everyday conversation? Is it changing the other dominant language?
On June 27, 2000 Nelly released his debut album, "Country Grammar". With production mainly handled by Jason "Jay-E" Epperson, and Nelly contributing to all the lyrics, it introduced a new sound into hip-hop unique to his hometown, St. Louis.
Four singles came from the album, the title track, "Country Grammar" (Hot Shit) peaked at number 7 on the Hot 100, "E.I" got close to the top 10, The album's biggest hit, "Ride Wit Me", got into the top 5, and Batter Up, which got released as a single on 9/11.
The album was well received by critics, and topped the charts for 5 straight weeks. In 2016, it became the ninth Hip-Hop album ever to be certified Diamond by the RIAA.
How well has this album aged in the 20 years since it's release?
Favorite verse?
What songs are still in your rotation?
Where does this rank as a debut album in Hip-Hop history?
Just a few of these restocked right now on Urban Outfitters (USA and Canada) in case anyone is interested. Still available from Urban Legends Store too.
This will be short, but it has all the good ingredients: Boomer tourist (m60s), me (f33), retail hell during Christmas, free food samples, and patronising condescencion. I‘m on mobile, sorry for the weird format.
I‘ve worked in retail for close to a decade now and thought I‘ve seen it all. On this particular day last weekend I was working as a sample lady for my 2nd job in a bakery in a very busy, high end retail store giving out samples of my country’s traditional Christmas cookies.
This family comes along. I hear them talking English to each other and noticed they were Brits. So I switched languages and proceded to give them my little speech about the cookies on my plate.
Me: „ ... and this is like a butter cookie“
Boomer: cuts me off mid-sentence „Not like. It IS a butter cookie.“
Me: „Uhm, no, it‘s like. And I‘m fluent in English, I know what I‘m talking about. You don‘t need to falsly correct me.“
Boomer: „No, you‘re not fluent. This is not LIKE a butter cookie, it IS a butter cookie!“ He‘s getting upset now.
Me: „Have you eaten this cookie before?“
Boomer: „No, but you ...“
Me: „So how would you know it IS a butter cookie? It has other ingredients in it and we don‘t call it butter cookie, that‘s why I say it‘s LIKE a butter cookie for tourists because that‘s in most cases the closest example they know.“
By now the Boomer glares at me angrily, but his son shoots me a „I‘m so sorry“ look and tries to quietly move his dad away from me and my cookies. I give a handful of them to the son‘s kids and wish them all a happy Christmas.
