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

A: That is a perfect tenses.
for example:
I have read the book. It's mindblowing.

I have watched the movie for a few times but never get enough of it.

A: There is used for a place
Examples: can you meet me over there.

Look over there

A: Good question! I agree!

Even my native brain hated that grammar out of context. Yes it's correct here as a title of a graph, but I too would much prefer 'who have used ..'

It comes up more in other contexts.

He was one of the first men to have reached the North Pole.
Brazil's Pelé is the only player to have won three World Cup winners' medals.

In meaning it's identical to who have used the internet.

A: That means that your grammar is good, perfect!

A: beef is another term for an issue or annoyance. It can also be used to say two people dislike each other.

A: Pronouns are never used with articles, so no to both. The only exception to this is (arguably) "one", as in "He bought a red jacket, and I bought the same one." or "She is the only one left."

"the only" should be used in a front of a gerund, yes, so "It was the only spelling she knew." or "The only swimming he had done was in a pool.", things like that. The only examples I can think of for "the same" before a gerund is in phrases like "This is the same thinking that got her into trouble." or "The same writing was found in different places.", but I can't imagine saying "the same playing" or "the same running".

"same" can't be used in front of a pronoun, but "only" can in the sense of "Only he had met her before" or "She knew that only I lived in the building." It can sound quite formal/literary in other places, so "I gave it to only him" is possible but much more formal than "I only gave it to him".

Unfortunately, I don't have as many definite answers for you as I would like but hopefully this helps.

A: The reason it’s before the word museums is it’s an adjective:

Historical objects currently residing in Western museums. Western is the adjective modifying museums. Largely is an adverb modifying Western. Adjectives almost always go before the noun they modify.

It’s better written as

Many today are calling for historic artifacts currently housed in, largely Western, museums to be returned to their nation of origin.

A: He's still learning English, so his grammar is so-so.
My sister's grammar is so-so, she just started taking English classes.

A: - in response to a question “why not do it?” , your answer is grammatically correct without the ‘do’. Therefore: “if I could, I would have...”

- in response to something like “ let’s go! Do it!” , your answer would need ‘it’ after ‘do’. Therefore: “if I could do it, I would have done it long ago.”

Extra Examples:
#1 : “cmon, just jump”
Response: “ if I could jump, I would have done it.”

#2: “why aren’t you coming to France with us?”
Response: “ I can’t go. if I could go, I would have done it long ago.”

I hope this helps.

A: In English, talking formally is more about being polite. for example instead of saying,
"Come over here John" you can say
"John, could you please come here?".

Try not to be too direct or sound too confident. You can use words like
"Pardon" or "Excuse me?" Instead of "What did you say" or "What?" If you want to ask for permission you can use "May I..."
"May I look at those documents?" Even though these are polite ways of saying things, it still sounds stiff. I wouldn't worry about it that much, but it also depends on what workplace you are gonna work at. If the work is like construction (for example), you don't really need to be that formal but if it's business you probably do.

A: A Grammar School is a school that takes children based on ability, usually by a set of examinations sat at the age of around eleven. There are very few of these left in the UK. A comprehensive school is a school which takes children of all abilities.

A: Better would be: "Is there a grammar difference?" or "Is there a difference in the grammar?"

But "does it have _a_ grammar difference?" and "has it got _a_ grammar difference?" mean the same. "Does it have" is more accepted. Some people don't like sentences with "has it got."

A: They mean the refer to the same thing, but "grammatical mistakes" is correct because "grammatical" is the adjective form of the noun grammar, and to describe a "mistake", you need an adjective.

"Grammar mistakes" just combines two nouns in an incorrect way.

A: A prescriptive grammar is a set of rules about language based on how people think language should be used. In a prescriptive grammar there is right and wrong language. It can be compared with a descriptive grammar, which is a set of rules based on how language is actually used.

prescriptive grammar is when a person thinks they are using grammar correctly but they are not

descriptive grammar is correct grammar

ex : "this sentence is GRAMMATICALLY correct."
ex 2 : "when writing, you need to follow the rules of GRAMMAR."

A: Was it an unexpected meeting? Maybe “I randomly ran into my best friend from high school earlier.”
