Hi, Omar and Ahmed—We can use "shore" or "coast" in reference to the stretch of land where the sea and the land meet. However, "of"-phrases are used differently with the two nouns. I grew up in Santa Barbara, which is on the coast in California. (It is part of coastal California.) If I added an "of"-phrase, I would say "on the coast of California ," NOT " on the coast of the Pacific Ocean ." It is with "shore" that the "of"-phrase refers to the body of water. It would be possible to say, "I...Read More...

Thanks alot Emad and AymanRead More...

Hi, Azz, I don't think the adverb "little" works well with most adjectives: ? This information is little useful. We do say, instead: - This information is hardly useful. - This information is scarcely useful. - This information is barely useful. What we can say, but with a positive meaning, is: - This information is a little useful (= a bit useful, useful to a certain extent).Read More...

Hi, Language Learner, Since John is a strong believer in what the weather forecast says, his natural response will be: "I'm afraid I won't because it is going to rain." If he has any doubts about what the weather forecast says, he can use the conditional 'if'. Here, I think the first conditional works better: "If it rains, I won't / am not going to come." In answer to your questions above, using 'were' instead of 'was' would sound better, and you can also use the past simple 'didn't rain'.Read More...

Hi, Emad, They are clauses that aren't exactly (strongly) connected in thought. For more information, see here: https://www.toppr.com/ask/ques...eady-for-their-long/Read More...

Hi, Ahmed, I like your version with "into." I also agree with you that (b) and (d) do not sound right, not only because "them" might be somebody else (as Mehrdad had said in the thread you quoted) but mainly because there is no identity between the subject of the main verb and the subject of the infinitive (the subject needs to be the same to yield the intended meaning). In my opinion, (b) and (d) should be revised as follows (though (b1) and (d1) below would be somewhat cumbersome, even...Read More...

Hi, Ahmed, I wouldn't use 'is' here. I'd use ' are '. - The projects which are being carried out all over the country are the result of hard work.Read More...

Thank You!Read More...

Yes, Ilko, the sentence is correct. The most natural interpretation is that it means the same thing as " I can't handle it when people scream at me."Read More...

Hello, Ahmed Imam Attia—Both sentences are ungrammatical. You cannot say " Mr Ashraf is such a that you can trust him " or " Mr Ashraf is such the that you can trust him ." If you meant to type "man" after the closing parenthesis and before "that," the sentence with "a" would be better than the sentence with "the," but I'd stronly prefer one of these instead: Mr. Ashraf is the kind of man that you can trust. Mr. Ashraf is someone you can trust. Mr. Ashraf is a man to trust.Read More...

I got it, thanks.Read More...

Thank you for the explicit reply.Read More...

Hi, Wael—Both (A) and (B) are grammatical, but (A) is equivalent in meaning to "She promised me that she would give the money back the next day"; it does not tell us to whom she will give the money back or whose money it was.Read More...

Hi, Ilko, No. For the sentence to make sense, you could say: - In spite of the bus coming late, we managed to get there on time. "Except for" could work in some other context, for example: - Except for the bus coming late, the tour we had planned turned out as expected. (This means that the late arrival of the bus was the only detail that did not meet the speaker's expectations.)Read More...

Thanks David and AhmedRead More...

Thanks a lot AhmedRead More...

I see. Thank you, ahmed-btmRead More...

Hi, Ahmed towab, Both sound fine to me. (1) seems to refer to any progress in those areas, while (2) would be equivalent to "the progress ( actually reported ) in industry, agriculture and medicine."Read More...

Hi, Tony, A trust is an entity, so you should use "which." We reserve "who" for individuals.Read More...

Just in case, David, do you agree with me that "two and a third years" is not possible? "Two and one-third years" sounds a little better. Or perhaps you can think of another alternative. Thank you!Read More...

the part, 'relatively very short ' you explained was awesome. Totally understood, thanks a lot.Read More...
