The Sentence Writing Rules:
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
Punctuation marks are symbols that are used to aid the clarity and comprehension of written language. Some common punctuation marks are the period, comma, question mark, exclamation point, apostrophe, quotation mark and hyphen.
Punctuation Mark Symbol Definition Examples.
*Apostrophe '*
An apostrophe is used as a substitute for a missing letter or letters in a word (as in the contraction cannot=can't), to show the possessive case (Jane's room), and in the plural of letters, some numbers and abbreviations. Note: groups of years no longer require an apostrophe (for example, the 1950s or the 90s). I can't see the cat's tail.
Dot your i's and cross your t's.
100's of years.
*Colon :*
A colon is used before a list or quote.
A colon is used to separate hours and minutes.
A colon is used to separate elements of a mathematical ratio.
There are many punctuation marks: period, comma, colon, and others.
The time is 2:15.
The ratio of girls to boys is 3:2.
*Comma ,*
A comma is used to separate phrases or items in a list. She bought milk, eggs, and bread.
*Dash—*
A dash is used to separate parts of a sentence. The dash is also known as an "em dash" because it is the length of a printed letter m — it is longer than a hyphen.
*Ellipsis ...*
An ellipsis (three dots) indicates that part of the text has been intentionally been left out. 0, 2, 4, ... , 100
exclamation point ! An exclamation point is used to show excitement or emphasis. It is cold!
*Hyphen -*
A hyphen is used between parts of a compound word or name. It is also used to split a word by syllables to fit on a line of text. The sixteen-year-old girl is a full-time student.
*Parentheses ( )*
Parentheses are curved lines used to separate explanations or qualifying statements within a sentence (each one of the curved lines is called a parenthesis). The part in the parentheses is called a parenthetical remark. This sentence (like others on this page) contains a parenthetical remark.
*Period .*
A period is used to note the end of a declarative sentence. I see the house.
question mark ? A question mark is used at the end of a question. When are we going?
*Quotation mark "*
Quotation marks are used at the beginning and end of a phrase to show that it is being written exactly as it was originally said or written. She said, "Let's eat."
*Semicolon ;*
A semicolon separates two independent clauses in a compound sentence.
A semicolon is also used to separate items in a series (where commas are already in use).
Class was canceled today; Mr. Smith was home sick.
Relatives at the reunion included my older brother, Bob; my cousin, Art; and my great-aunt, Mattie.

I.E. vs E.G.
💥💥💥💥💥💥
"i.e." is the abbreviation of the Latin phrase "id est," meaning 'that is."
"e.g." is the abbreviation of the Latin phrase "exempli gratia," meaning "for example."
Use "i.e." when you want to give further explanation for something.
Use "e.g." when you want to give a few examples but not a complete list.
For example, "We're meeting at Apocalypse Chow, i.e., the new restaurant downtown."
For example, "When I have company, I like making a pitcher of summertime drinks, e.g., lemonade, iced-tea, and mint julips."
There is no need to italicize "i.e." and "e.g." because these abbreviations have been around for so long. Similarly, "i.e." and "e.g." are lowercase when they come in the middle of a sentence. Most American style guides recommend following "i.e." and "e.g." with a comma and including the periods after each letter.
TIP: i.e.=think: "in essence"
e.g=think: "examples given"

🗣 weather/whether or wether
📚 The words wether, weather, and whether sound identical, but their meanings are very different.
🗣 What is the difference between wether, weather, and whether?
🔸 Wether - A wether is a castrated ram (male sheep).
🔸 Weather - Weather refers to the state of the atmosphere (e.g., temperature, wind, clouds, rain).
🔸 Whether - Whether is a conjunction with a similar meaning to if (e.g., I wonder whether it will rain.)
☝️ Some people have suggested that a helpful way of remembering the difference is to associate weather with the sea, which also contains the combination ea: so by remembering the weather on the sea you will remember which is which.

👨🏫👨🏫👨🏫'Make' or 'Do'?
🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄🍄
It can be hard to decide when to use 'make' or 'do' in English. Here's some help.
1: We use 'make' when we create or construct something. For example:
She made a cake.
I've made us some coffee.
Did you really make those trousers?
2: We use 'do' for general activities. In this case, 'do' is often used with 'something', 'nothing', 'anything' or 'everything':
What did you do at the weekend?
I didn't do anything yesterday.
She's fed up with doing everything herself. She needs some help.
Are you doing anything interesting during the holidays?
NOTE: 'What do you do?' means 'what's your job?'
3: There are many, many fixed expressions with 'make' and 'do'. Unfortunately, they don't really follow any useful rules, so you have to learn them. Sorry!
🌀🌀🌀QUIZ : Make or Do
Put in the correct form of 'make' or 'do'
1) John worked hard and ............his best at his job, but he still wasn't promoted. [ did ]
2) The teenagers were ..............such a noise that the neighbour called the police.
3) She .............a payment on her debt every month. Soon she'll have finished paying it off.

10) I called the hotel and ..............a reservation for two people for Saturday the 16th.

Good At, Good In, and Good With--
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
The difference between saying, “I’m good in English” and “I’m good at English”:
One of the numerous meanings of good is “competent, skillful, clever at or in a certain action or pursuit.”
The two expressions are often used interchangeably, but generally speaking, “good at” is used with an activity:
He’s good at football.
She’s good at product design.
Her mother is good at Trivial Pursuit.
When Fatima was only six, she was good at drawing.
When it comes to school subjects, both “good at” and “good in” are used:
Jere is good at math: he always finishes first.
Jere is good in math: he makes all A’s.
It’s difficult to formulate a rule for “good in.” An actor can be “good in a role."
A level-headed friend is “good in an emergency.”
A similar expression used to indicate competency is “good with”:
Because Daiki is good with numbers, he plans to study accounting.
Maribel is good with children; she wants to be an elementary teacher.
Amos is good with his hands; he remodeled the entire house.
Lilah is good with money; she saves at least 40% of her allowance every week.
Here are some examples of all three expressions as used on the Web:
Michael Phelps: Good at swimming, better at golf
Why are humans and dogs so good at living together?
School shootings: We’re good at finding fault, not so good at finding a solution
Is it true that people who are good at music can learn a language sooner?
Are you good in a crisis?
Are pit bulls good with kids?
Are you good or awful with money?

@vkmagzineg
Must* vs *Have to
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
We can use 'must' to show that we are certain something is true. We are making a logical deduction based upon some clear evidence or reason.
#Example
There's no heating on. You must be freezing.
You must be worried that she is so late coming home.
I can't remember what I did with it. I must be getting old.
It must be nice to live in Florida.
We also use 'must' to express a strong obligation. When we use 'must' this usually means that some personal circumstance makes the obligation necessary (and the speaker almost certainly agrees with the obligation.)
#Example
I must go to bed earlier.
They must do something about it.
You must come and see us some time.
I must say, I don't think you were very nice to him.
We can also use 'have to' to express a strong obligation. When we use 'have to' this usually means that some external circumstance makes the obligation necessary.
#Example
I have to arrive at work at 9 sharp. My boss is very strict.
We have to give him our answer today or lose out on the contract.
You have to pass your exams or the university will not accept you.
I have to send a report to Head Office every week.
In British English, we often use 'have got to' to mean the same as 'have to'.
I've got to take this book back to the library or I'll get a fine.
We've got to finish now as somebody else needs this room.
We can also use ' will have to' to talk about strong obligations. Like 'must' this usually means that that some personal circumstance makes the obligation necessary. (Remember that 'will' is often used to show 'willingness'.)
#Example
I'll have to speak to him.
We'll have to have lunch and catch up on all the gossip.
They'll have to do something about it.
I'll have to get back to you on that.
As you can see, the differences between the present forms are sometimes very small and very subtle. However, there is a huge difference in the negative forms.
#Example
We use 'mustn't' to express strong obligations NOT to do something.
We mustn't talk about it. It's confidential.
I mustn't eat chocolate. It's bad for me.
You mustn't phone me at work. We aren't allowed personal calls.
They mustn't see us talking or they'll suspect something.
We use 'don't have to' (or 'haven't got to' in British English) to state that there is NO obligation or necessity.
#Example
We don't have to get there on time. The boss is away today.
I don't have to listen to this. I'm leaving.
You don't have to come if you don't want to.
He doesn't have to sign anything if he doesn't want to at this stage.

AS IF / AS THOUGH
🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸
Clauses that start with as if / as though describe an unreal or improbable situation if they are followed by an unreal tense (the past subjunctive or the past perfect subjunctive). Otherwise, they express that the statement is true.
The past subjunctive after as if / as though indicates an unreal situation in the present. However, if the situation is true, we use a real tense to express present time:
He looks as if he knew the answer. (he gives the impression that he knows the answer, but he (probably) doesn't know or we don't know whether he knows or not)
He looks as if he knows the answer. (he knows the answer)
If we put the verb preceding as if / as though into the past tense, the present simple knows changes into past simple, whereas the past subjunctive knew stays the same. Therefore, both sentences will read as follows:
He looked as if he knew the answer.
Consequently, the meaning of this sentence (whether he knew the answer or not) can only be deduced from the context.
The past perfect subjunctive after as if / as though is used to refer to an unreal past situation. If the situation is true, we use a real tense to express past time:
He seems as if he hadn't slept for days. (it seems that he hasn't slept for days, but he (probably) has or we don't know whether he has or not)
He seems as if he hasn't slept for days. (he hasn't slept for days)
If the preceding verb is put into the past tense, the present perfect hasn't slept changes into past perfect, while the past perfect subjunctive hadn't slept stays the same:
He seemed as if he hadn't slept for days.

Had better: form and meaning--
💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
We use had better to refer to the present or the future, to talk about actions we think people should do or which are desirable in a specific situation. The verb form is always had, not have. We normally shorten it to ’d better in informal situations. It is followed by the infinitive without to:
It’s five o’clock. I’d better go now before the traffic gets too bad.
Not: I’d better to go now.
The democratic movement had better concentrate on the immediate issues of the economy and security. (more formal)
Had better is a strong expression. We use it if we think there will be negative results if someone does not do what is desired or suggested:
She’d better get here soon or she’ll miss the opening ceremony.
Spoken English:
Sometimes people say had best instead of had better, especially in informal speaking. This sounds slightly less strong and less direct:
You’d best leave it till Monday. There’s no one in the office today.
Had better: negative and question forms
The negative of had better is had better not (or ’d better not):
I’d better not leave my bag there. Someone might steal it.
You’d better not tell Elizabeth about the broken glass – she’ll go crazy!
The question form of had better is made by inverting the subject and had. This means the same as should, but is more formal:
Had I better speak to Joan first before I send this form off? What do you think?
Had we better leave a note for the delivery guy to take the parcel next door?
Negative questions with had better are more common than affirmative ones:
Hadn’t we better ring the school and tell them Liam is sick?
Hadn’t you better switch your computer off? It might overheat if you leave it on.
Had better or be better, be best?
We use had better to give advice in a specific situation. We use the phrase be better or be best + to-infinitive for more general suggestions:
It’s always better to be safe than sorry. (‘It’s better to be safe than sorry’ is a saying which means that you should be careful before taking any action.)
I think it would be best to speak to the people in the video shop to see what they recommend.
Had better or would rather, would prefer?
We don’t use had better when we talk about preferences. We use would rather or would prefer.
Compare
I’d better get a taxi. The buses are so slow.
It is a good idea, better, or advisable to get a taxi.
I’d rather get a taxi. I don’t like buses.
I prefer to get a taxi.
Had better: typical errors-
We use had better to give specific advice, not to talk about obligations or requirements; instead, we use have to, have got to or must:
You have to (or must) hold a full, valid driving license to hire a car.
Not: You’d better hold a full, valid driving license to hire a car.
We don’t use had better to talk about preferences; instead, we use would rather or would prefer:
They offered her a job in Warsaw, but she said she’d rather work in a smaller city. (or … she’d prefer to work …)
Not: … she’d better work …
We don’t use had better to make ordinary suggestions or recommendations:
Auckland is a great place to visit. I’d recommend you take a boat trip across the bay and see some of the islands. Then you can find a nice restaurant for lunch. There are plenty of them.
Not: You’d better take a boat trip across the bay and see some of the islands. Then you’d better find a nice restaurant for lunch.

Have something done
💥💥💥💥💥💥
Take a look at these two sentences. What is the difference in meaning between them?
'I cut my hair.'
'I have my hair cut.'
'I cut my hair' means that I do it myself.
'I have my hair cut means someone cuts my hair for me (in this case it's probably a hairdresser).
We use 'have something done' to mean another person does a service for us.
The grammar for this is pretty simple:
Have + object + past participle
Let's take a look at a few more examples:
'We didn't want to cook so we had a pizza delivered.'
'I had my car washed at that new place by the station.'
'I had my watch fixed.'
We can also use 'get' instead of 'had' and the meaning stays the same. The sentences above now become:
'We didn't want to cook so we got a pizza delivered.'
'I got my car washed at that new place by the station.'
'I got my watch fixed.'
future
'I had my watch fixed' tells us about the past.
'I am going to have/get my watch fixed' tells us about the future.
'Going to' tells us about a future plan that has already been made.
We use 'will' for something that has just been decided:
I've just noticed how dirty my suit is. I will have/get it cleaned soon.'
questions
Imagine that you like your friend's new haircut; you could ask her:
'Where did you have/get your hair cut?'
Maybe you have just moved to a new town and you decided that it is time for a haircut; you can ask:
'Where can I have/get my hair cut?'
You want to know if your friend's car has been fixed yet; you can ask:
'Did you have your car fixed?'
services for a busy world
As we all live in a busy world, we don't have the time (or skills)to do all the things that we need to. That's why we have a service industry that will help us get what need 'done.'
Take a look at these examples:
A jeweller is a place where you can have your watch fixed.
A dry cleaner is a place where you can have your suit cleaned.
A florist is a place where you can have flowers delivered.
A hairdresser is a place where you can have your hair cut.
A dentist is a place where you can have your teeth checked.
An optician is a place where you can have your eyes checked.
A garage is a place where you can have your car repaired.
using have something done for bad things
In all the examples above we have looked at services we can pay for if we want. We can also use the same expression when someone does something bad to us. For example:
'Jenny had her car stolen.' Here Jenny did not want someone to steal her car, but someone did it.
'Have you ever had your nose broken in a fight?' Nobody wants to have their nose broken, but it could happen!

This construction means "to allow someone to do something."
Examples:
John let me drive his new car.
Will your parents let you go to the party?
I don't know if my boss will let me take the day off.
Make
FORM
[make + person + verb]
USE
This construction means "to force someone to do something."

Did somebody make you wear that ugly hat?
She made her children do their homework.
Have
FORM

How can parents get their children to read more?
The government TV commercials are trying to get people to stop smoking.
Get vs. Have
Sometimes "get someone to do something" is interchangeable with "have someone do something," but these expressions do not mean exactly the same thing.
Examples:
I got the mechanic to check my brakes.
At first, the mechanic didn't think it was necessary, but I convinced him to check the brakes.
I had the mechanic check my brakes.
I asked the mechanic to check the brakes.
