Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Car"

A: The 'of' is the preposition that is used to connect the intransitive verb, to get out, with a noun or a pronoun.
Get out of the way.
Get out of the house! It's on fire!
Get out of your bed!

A: “It couldn’t have been my car. You must be mistaken.” Means that someone told that person that something bad happened to or with their car. So the person replies with this sentence in disbelief and denial of the fact that their car was involved.

A: This is a metaphor. Pacific Heights is the most wealthy neighborhood in San Francisco.
This sentence does not make sense by itself.
Maybe they have big cars?

A: It means looking at other car shops and seeing what prices they sell their cars at can be good, as you can find the best price, rather than impulsively buying a car at the first store you go to.

A: The person was going fast, but the other car was super fast.

A: I have got a car или I have a car.
I had a car или I used to have a car.
I will get a car in the future.

A: Examples:
- Let's get in the car already.
- I think the elderly should get on the bus first.

You can say "get on the car" and "get in the bus" but it isn't as common and feels weird because the way you get in the car is different from getting on the bus.

I bought a brand new car today, an Audi S4.

A: You haven't got a blue car anywhere in your car dealership, do you? You may have fifty different shades of silver car, but you haven't got a blue car anywhere.

A: Both are correct. It's just that "There was no car on the street" is more expressive, it means "there was not a single car on the street"

"There were no cars..." is just the plural version

A: The meaning is slightly different, but they're interchangeable. :)

"The car wouldn't start this morning" -- You can use this that the car wasn't starting. You can also add what you did because it wouldn't start. "The car wouldn't start this morning, so I tried to fix it."

"The car didn't start this morning" -- is like stating that it didn't start, that's it.

You can use both, though!! :) They mean nearly 100% the same thing

A: yes, it does; The difference here is that "is" describes something that is ongoing, but "was" is describing something that happened. The nuance is a bit subtle, but you can think of "The car is designed by the boy" as:

"The car is [in a state of being] [that was] designed by the boy".

The state that the car is in WAS designed, but it was put into design by the boy, and it is continuing to be in that state. This can mean the same thing functionally as the past tense sentence, but it could also imply that there is more to say about the car that is going unsaid.

I'm sorry if this is a bit of a confusing explanation.

A: when people use these phrases in everyday speech, there is practically no difference in their meanings 🙂

however, there is a subtle difference in the information that they can convey

“he has washed his car” means that he washed his car at some point in the past. it could be just a moment ago, an hour ago, a week ago, etc. the point in time that he washed his car is very non-specific; all we know is that it was in the past. the focus is just on the completion of the event

“he finished washing his car” means that he recently started to wash his car, and now he has finished. “washing” is a present participle here, so it conveys a feeling of continuous action. it draws attention to the entire process of washing his car from the beginning to end. compared with the first sentence, you would normally use this one with a much more narrow and definite time-frame

A: There is a small distinction: "made in Japan" means the factory is in Japan (but that the company that made it may not be Japanese), while "Japanese-made" means the company is based in Japan (but the factory may not be in Japan).

There are many Toyota factories in the United States. Those cars are Japanese-made, but not made in Japan.

A:

"Why does she need a car when her life is crazy enough as it is?"

A: Answer: I painted my car where there was a scrape.
In English, instead of putting "rubbed" you should put scrape. Rub sounds like there was friction against two things, but it doesn't explain that there was damage. Scrape means there was friction and damage. Hope that helps! :)

A: How fast is it going? How many miles per hour is it going?

A: You can refer to a "lead vehicle" if the other drivers are following it to a destination, like a car in the front of a procession. You would say the other vehicles are following (rather than late).
"Is Bob driving the lead vehicle, or is he in one of the following vehicles?" Depending on the context, you might just say "first car". "Is Bob driving the first car or one of the ones following it?"

If it is a race, Bob would be "In the lead".

A: We have parked your car in the parking lot.

A: “I always find Hongqi’s cars attractive. Although I don’t have any desire for a car right now, I’ll still consider it when I go to shop for one.”

A: check for cars (not the cars) would mean look and see if there are cars coming towards you.
Check the cars means look carefully at the cars parked by the roadside.
In the UK we usually say”look both ways before you cross the road” or “look left and then right before you cross the road”. It’s obvious that you are checking for cars or other vehicles.

A: “Check the cars” refers to searching inside or around the car.
“Check for the cars” refers to looking around you to make sure no cars are coming.

A: I think they probably meant this
