Today I just want to make some sentences using the word “be”, “been”, and “being”.
I want to be a very rich blogger like Kang Rohman.
Adih has been to Saudi Arabia so that he can speak Arabic fluently.
Adih has been being on the way right now.
I am singing a song now >< A song is being sung by me.
That’s from me. Please add yourself other sentences.
Hello readers and English Learners, this post is written by my Brother Topan. If you find any mistake, please let us know because my brother is still learning too, but he wants to try to write.
In English Grammar there are three Cases :
1. Nominative case
2. Objective case
3. Possessive case
Nominative case :
Example :
· I help him
· You help me
· She help us
· It helps you
· We help them
· We help it
Subject or principal sentence above (I, you, she, it, we) called nominative case.
Objective case :
Example :
· Ali visit Amin
· He teaches his student
Amin and his student is the object of so called objective case. Explained all the noun is functioning as a subject called nominative case. And all the noun is functioning as a object called objective case.
Possessive case :
Is the ‘s mean in English Grammar is possessive or apostrophe
Example :
· Ali’s book
· Amin’s student
Used of ‘s only for people. For animal or noun be must use of as possessive
Example : the tail of the cat.
Again, someone asked me through ASK QUESTION form. Actually, I am not a teacher although I once taught kids in my hometown. Someone asked me the difference between ‘Someone and Somebody”.
You use “someone” when you do not know the person and there are too many people to choose from, and then you use “somebody” when you talk about a person you know in the limited amount such as in a classroom, a home, etc, but you do not want to mention her/his name. My senior high school teacher used to call us “everybody”, not “everyone”. Also, when you come to your friend’s home, for instance, you may call, “Anybody home?”
That’s from me, and if you have any other opinion or suggestion, please let us know by writing it in the comment box below.
Someone asked me through “ASK QUESTION” menu bar above. He wanted to know the difference between a clause and a phrase in English.
A clause is part of a sentence, which has the subject, predicate, and object, or a group of words at least contains a subject and a verb indicating the time.
A phrase is also a group of words but it has no subject and verb (predicate).
Now take a look at the example below. It is a complete sentence that consists of two clauses and one phrase.
The man in the car looks so nervous when a policeman comes.
Clauses of the sentence above:
The man in the car looks so nervous
When a policeman comes
The phrase:
The man in the car
Pay attention to the sentences below:
If you meet the requirements, you can apply for a payday loan. (I think you should meet the requirements so that you can apply for a payday loan)
The word “if” can be replaced by these words:
as long as
assuming (that)
on condition (that)
on the assumption (that)
provided (that)
supposing (that)
unless
with the condition (that)
What about this:
When you meet the requirements, you can apply for a payday loan.
Tag Question is a negative or positive statement followed by a question tag to ask for confirmation.
Examples:
You are John, aren’t you?
You are not John, are you?
She was very beautiful, wasn’t she?
Your father is a manager, isn’t he?
I am very handsome, aren’t I?
I am not ugly, am I?
They go there tonight, don’t they?
He doesn’t know me, does he?
You will accompany me tonight, won’t you?
You will not be here, will you?
From the examples above we know that when the main statement is negative, the question tag will be positive. When the main statement is positive, the question tag is negative. Look at the fifth example. There I use aren’t I not amn’t I because there is not “amn’t” for the abbreviation of am not, so we use aren’t.
