If you have any questions on grammar, just ask them

Posted by Tanya on April 3, 2016

Many people feel confused asking grammar questions as they think they speak good English. Yes, they do and they are experienced enough to avoid some grammar constructions they don't know or are not sure of. But they may face the situations where they have to use the Standard Written English and it happens all the time as no one is an island in the modern world. In a few days you will be able to see the results of my test taken by the most experienced bloggers. By now, nobody of them has given 100% right answers.

So, the idea of this discussion is very clear: if you are not sure, just ask! We are alwyas here to explain and to help you improve your knowledge.

    OK, Onee, I see now. Yes, it is correct. I will explain. Two first sentences are the questions to a complement The last is the question to a subject. Here are a few more examples:

    Who helps you around the house? My son..

    Who will do it? My husband...

    Who told you about that? My friend...

    If you ask about a subject, there is no subject in your question.

    It's not about the tense, Sir. I mean the word order... 

    1 & 2 are different.

    Dear Onee! Yes, all sentences are correct. The last one is in the future simple tense as it is about the future action.

    Dear teachers,

    I have a grammatical question. Please give me your enlightenment. :)

    These sentence are commonly used.

    Who do you think you are? Who do you think she is?

    But why when we talk about uncertain object/person, I found this sentence from BBC. 

    Who do you think will be the next president of the UN?

    Are both grammatically correct? 

    Thank you so much.

    Teacher Tanya.

    Thank you for encouraging students for asking questions. I know that many students are not sure about some subjects in English grammar.

    Thus, asking questions improve our knowledge (students).

    Best wishes,

    Dear Peppo! I am happy you decided to revise grammar. So, in the three first sentences the second options are correct. In the Present simple tense we add -s (-es) to the predicate in the third person, singular (he, she, it).

    Do you friends write a lot of letters? or

    Does your friend write.....?
    When we speak about some habitual action, we use the present simple tense.

    The fifth sentence is correct.
