future simple questions
Minoo and 2 others reacted to suresh s for a topic
"I am finished" and "I have finished" have similar meanings, but they are not exactly the same. "I am finished" describes a current state or condition and It emphasizes the result or outcome of the action rather than the action itself. whereas "I have finished" describes a completed action in the past, It emphasizes the action that was completed rather than the result or outcome.3 points -

Differences Angry-Annoyed-Upset ?
JesusArgentina and one other reacted to Minoo for a topic
Hello Jesus, All three adjectives can be used, but I would use 'angry' because it's the strongest and matches the word 'demand' better. The other two are weaker: annoyed = slightly angry upset = unhappy, disappointed2 points -
How acted Irregular Plural in the sentence?
Doina Becheru and one other reacted to Minoo for a topic
Hello Jesus, Thank you for your question, which we covered in yesterday's LIVE Q&A session. To recap: When 'people' is the plural of 'person', you must use a plural verb: These people are .... When 'people' is a synonym for 'ethnic group', then it is a countable noun, and you can say 'a people' (+ singular verb) and 'peoples' (+ plural verb). This second meaning is not commonly used. So, consider 'people' to be plural 99% of the time.2 points -
Word order: Where to put 'again'?
bozkan and one other reacted to Minoo for a topic
The ‘WHAT’ part includes verb + direct object + indirect object, and we must keep these three elements together. In this case, the direct object is the question and the indirect object is for you. That’s why ‘again’ (an adverb) has come after ‘for you’. Here’s another example from Collins Dictionary: I started to feel good about myself again. You may come across examples where the indirect object has been separated from the verb, but make sure you never separate the direct object from the verb.2 points -

Tenses in Questions
Tom reacted to Nana85 for a topic
Hello Minioo and Community, I have learned the chapter 'be doing and going to do' from the upper elementry part. While filling in the exercise Part, I realised, that I'm very unsure which time to choose in the questions phrases. As I looked back to the learning part of this chapter, I found not much information to that, except, that one can use either 'to be+ing' or 'going to' for asking somebody about their personal plans and to avoid 'will' in these questions, except when followed by an if-clause. Is there another chapter where this is being explaint in depth? Her some examples of the exercise Part, where I didn't know why the chosen tense is the correct one. -1. When do your classes start next term? -2. What time is the taxi picking you Up? -10. What time does the show begin tonight? This following exercise ist not a question, but I still could not Figuren out why simple present is the correct tense in this phrase. -4. This programme doesn't end until November. Could you please give me an explanation why the chosen tenses are the correct ones in these cases and tell me in which chapter I can find more information about this? Thanks a lot in advance and best wishes. Nana1 point -

Hello Nana, Sorry for the late reply. I was away for a few days. Both sentences are correct, and there's no difference in meaning. The person may go and but one or several pairs of new shoes.1 point -
Possible mistake in daily challenge
Daniko900 reacted to Minoo for a topic
Hello Dani, Thank you for your question. It's very common for native speakers to connect the sounds /t/ & /d/ to /u:/. The speaker is saying: wha /tu:/, which is very similar to wha /du:/. That's why you think he/she is saying 'what do you'.1 point -
Too and Two
Doina Becheru reacted to Minoo for a topic
Hello Jesus, Thank you for your question. No, there isn't one single word that can replace 'two too'. But, because they're both pronounced in exactly the same way, and it's phonetically awkward to say 'two too', it's best to use a synonym of 'too' instead: I'd also like two. I'd like two as well.1 point -

future simple questions
suresh s reacted to Minoo for a topic
Thank you, Anne-Marie for your question, and Suresh for your good answer. What I can add: 'I'm finished!' can also mean 'This is the end of me! I'm broke. / I'm going to be fired. / I'm going to lose everything. etc. To express the 'outcome' that Suresh mentions above, the expression 'I'm done.' is more common than 'I'm finished.' especially in British English.1 point -
