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

A: Actually, I think this sentence misuses the term. I'm interpreting it based on the context. For example, the current month is August 2020. What annual gain should mean is gain for the trailing 12 months (Sept 2019 through Aug 2020).

There's yet another "annual growth" calculation that's usually used with stuff like GDP. You take the growth from the prior period, which would be growth in Aug 2020 compared to July 2020, and then "annualize" it, i.e. calculate what the annual growth would be if the same rate of growth continued for 12 months. That's how you get passages like "GDP grew at an annual rate of 3% in August".

However, your passage is actually referring to the so-called "year-on-year" gain, which would simply be comparing Aug 2019 with Aug 2020. So if the author wanted to be precise, he should have said "year-on-year gains" rather than "annual gains".

A: It was six months of experiencing so much pain physically and emotionally that she ran away/went away.

A: Usually only when they want to emphasize the time, in a more negative way. For example, "I can't believe you messed up this badly! we are only two days into the week!" or "We are two months into the year, and there are fireworks every night still!"

A: The absent is before the strong economy because it is describing economy

absent (of) the strong economy that they believed would be the centerpiece of their campaign

This implies that the strong economy was absent

A: It sounds like Shohei Ohawa performs work for companies, he does not own a company. It sounds like he would never hire a Chinese student to work under him, for him, when he is doing work for these companies. I guess he can hire people to do work for him, when he performs work for other companies.

Sorry if it's still not clear.

A:
Thank you for providing me with the nice example.

A: Yesterday, I went to the store.
Last month I paid my bills on time.

A: They told Bob it would take a while before the car was going to be fixed, but they fixed it in under a month!

Under a month meaning less than a month.

A: The month of May is when summer starts.

A: "Just a month to go before it is Christmas."
"Just a month to go before we can meet each other."
"Just a month to go before this new game comes out."
"Just a month to go before the baby comes."

A: they're almost the same sentence. For example if someone asked "How long have you worked here?" both sentences are acceptable answers. Note: you also need an "a" in both sentences.

"I've been working here for a few months."

"I've worked here for a few months."

A: Hello! The second sentence is grammatically incorrect, so I’d say that is the difference. The first sentence is the right way to say it. Hope this helped :)

A: in two months and in two months' time ,
Firstly to correct the sentence, you would write : " in two month's time "
(you would put the ' before the s)

There is no real difference, you can say the one or the other.

Another example is when people say two months ago / two months back,

I'll be there in time of two months. - This is incorrect as the phrase 'time of two months' is quite unnatural.
If you want to say 'I'll be there in time'
You can say :
I'll be there in time, in two month's time

A: the last in the first sentence means you’ll probably do it again, whereas the second sentence doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll do it again. Although, both are pretty similar so you could use those interchangeably! :)

A: "It will take up to 3 months" signifies that the duration may take 3 months or it may take less than that, depending on the circumstances. But it cannot take longer than that.

The expression "It will take 3 months", however, signifies that the duration is going to take precisely 3 months.

A: I lost about 5% of my weight last month/ last month, I lost about 5% of my weight.

A:
쉼표를 쓰는 이유는 yet을 사용한 다음에 다른 문장을 쓰려면 and, but, because 같은 연결 단어를 써야 해서 쓰는거에요.

사실 yet을 (2)의 의미로 사용하면 일반 문장과 같은 규칙을 따르게 되요. 뒤에 다른 문장을 붙히려면 연결 단어랑 쉼표를 쓰고, 아니라면 그냥 붙혀도 되고요.

A: Only a few months left AND the current imperial era comes to an end.
Or
In just a few months the current imperial era comes/is coming to an end.

A: Check the question to view the answer

A: so, the senetence is correct and sounds natural. breaking it down into each words "function"(part of speech) "I" is the subject, "to pay" is your linking verb and "instaments" is your compliment. "would like" is more or less a part pf the linking verb and helping modify that. 3 is the adjective to month, and in this case, i believe "month" is an adjective to installments. you aren't just paying installments, you're paying 3 months of installments.

A: months

A: it may depend on the context, but it usually mean that something has suddenly been appearing !

"this idea popped up in my mind"
