"Will Will willingly will Will's will to Will? Will will willingly will Wills will to Will."

Would Wilfred readily bequeath Williams inheritance to Wilbur? Wilfred shall voluntarily bestow Williams inheritance unto Wilbur.

Does it actually work as a cool English grammar concept? Does it actually make gramatical sense? Are there other reddits that would appreciate my cool sentence(s)?

Thanks.

Hello everyone,

I am trying to send an email to an acquaitance and I am not sure if I have communicated my relations clearly in my greeting. This is what I wrote:

"Hi Margaret,

This is Taylor, Kelly Rogers' daughter, and May's friend,"

This is this first time I have personally contacted Margaret but my mother often talks with her. I am trying to say that I am the daughter of Kelly (who she frequently talks with) and that I am also friends with Margaret's daughter May. Would the greeting that I have written make sense to Margaret? I am Canadian and believe in the use of Oxford commas if that makes any difference.

Thank you for your help!

Can you please help? Should I use do or does?

"I have never seen someone do it."

"I have never seen someone does it."

I’ve been learning english since kindergarten, it’s a mandatory subject in our country, I don’t have any problems per say, but always get confused between would and will. I’ve tried to search on google, but still don’t get it.

I would be grateful if anyone could explain to me when to use will and would!

I've heard this is pretty common for native speakers. I can look at a sentence and tell you exactly what's wrong with it, but I can't explain why. I'm looking for a resource (preferably free) to refresh my knowledge because I want to explore writing as a career. However, I feel like I need to learn the actual rules rather than relying solely on instinct.

Sorry for the weird heading. I'm trying to figure out what it's called when you use a place name to describe a person. For instance, "a Florida man," or "a Paris cat." The place name is a proper noun, but is being used in more of an adectival sense, but I don't think it's an adjective. Is it?

Is there a definitively correct way to do this, or is it a matter of preferred style? Thanks.

1. Dave is not a guy who will take no for an answer.
2. Dave is not a guy who will take "no" for an answer.

'Е.g. i.e. that is to say, "that is to say." etc.'

I'm trying to concoct an example for a paper that demonstrates how the english language often refrains from using its on words in favor of brevity. if it's not, do you know of any long strung yet not run-on sentences that avoid using english words but use words common in an english vernacular?

edit: in hindsight this may be more of a vocab question

Infinite apple OR Infinite apples

Which one is correct?

The reason why I'm confused is because in grammar 'uncountable nouns are singular' So should 'infinite' which suggests something to be uncountable be paired with 'apple' (Although apple is countable, but now since it gets paired with 'infinite' which suggests something to be uncountable and is therefore now uncountable and therefore the singular form should be used which is 'apple' instead of its plural form which is 'apples'?) or 'apples'? (Since 'apple' is countable?)

Also, one more question. For now let's say 'infinite apple' is the correct phrase(which I don't know the correct answer yet which is why I'm asking in the first place, so please forgive me and bare with me)

With the above hypothetical correct answer to the first question in mind, Which one below is correct? Infinite apple is OR Infinite apple are

So, which one of these sentences are correct?

1- Did you help your old man cut out my sister's lungs while she was still using...? (them)

2- Did you help your old man cut out my sister's lungs while she was still using...

3- Did you help your old man cut out my sister's lungs while she was still using?

This always confuses me as a second-language english speaker. Why do we even need semicolons if we could always use conjunctions instead?

Is it more right to say:

"There's no one like you or the place I worship you."

Or

"There's nothing like you or the place I worship you."

It's referring to God. I'm a bit confused as to which is the more correct way to say this sentence.

Sorry for the basic question, Google was no help. I couldn't figure out which contraction to use at the end because the first clause expresses the negative, but "could" and "not" aren't beside each other. Does that make sense? "Could we?" sounds better to me, but I was just wondering what the rule is. TYIA

Does the "Protion" word exists, or is it a misspelled word, portion or proportion, my teacher said that word but I didn't understand.

Solved: The word was Procion (the dye)

Based on various simulations, we made the final conclusion.

Sentences such as this are commonly used, but can the past participle phrase "Based on various simulations" appropriately modify "we"?

It is nonsensical that "we" are somehow "based on various simulations". It is the final conclusion that is based on various simulations.

So, does the sentence contain a dangling modifier error? If not, how to interpret such usage? Thanks!

The grammar in the short conversation below is obviously wrong to a native speaker, but how would you explain to a non-native speaker why you would not use "seldom" as follows? Thank you for your help!

Person A: How is your son doing? Is his cough better?

Person B: It's better, yes. It's very seldom.

Is the use of a colon after the word “employment” correct in the below wording? Should it be a full stop instead?

Following recent discussions, I am pleased to confirm the following changes to your terms and conditions of employment:

Job title: Marketing Manager

Annual salary: £30,000

Effective Date: 02 February 2025

Would “perpetual temporality” be grammatically correct? Constant/repeating temporary something?

I am not that proficient at English.

Or

I am not that proficient in English.

I used the quillbot app (how good are these anyways?) and it says both are correct.

Thank you.

The specific sentence is: "She didn't know if he were even in the manor."

My gut tells me it should be "was" instead of "were".

So everybody knows the whole "If I were a rich man.../If only he were here..." and that's a subjunctive mood IIRC and that's why we use "were".

But in this example above it just feels wrong.

Does it have to do with the "She didn't know..." being used in an indicative manner?

Any help or advice on why I'm wrong or right would be appreciated.

I'd like to refresh my memory on both parts of speech (noun, verb, adjective, etc) and grammatical functions (subject, direct object, complement, etc). I tried AI but they always miss a few and miscategorize. Can someone please give me a full list for both and maybe a hood grammar book that explains them in detail?

Thanks in advance :)

I thought the word 'comprise' can be used similarly with 'consist of', which is why I thought the sentence was wrong, but it's used my TOEFL reading passage.

When A + B = C, shoudn't it be 'C comprises A and B'?

I see a monkey at the tree.

Is the preposition "at" applicable here? Or would "on" be a better choice?

"death row inmate" is close to what I'm thinking of, but in that case the connotation is of someone who is currently imprisoned and will be executed at some (presumably uncertain) point in the future. But what's the term you'd use to refer specifically to someone's who's standing in (or in the vicinity of) an instrument of execution (gallows, guillotine, firing squad, electrocution chair, etc.) that will be used to kill them in the near future (seconds to hours)? The only one I can think of is "executionee" or (to avoid ambiguity) "executionee-to-be" but they both sound unnatural. Is there a better term? I don't want to use "victim", though.

Is it pedantic in a science paper to use "from April through August" instead of "from April to August"? Or it understood that "to August" includes all of August?

• The specimens were collected ______________.

My sister FaceTimed me tonight to ask for my opinion on a discussion she and her husband had, and my husband overheard. My husband is on her husbands side, and she and I agree with each other on the opposite side.
They were discussing how it has been a long week. And my sister said this

“It’s been such a long week, and it’s still January.”

Her husband responded

“Not until the day after tomorrow.”

He has clarified that the idea he was trying to communicate was that it is only January for one more day.

I don’t think that his response is correct because it doesn’t communicate what he was trying to communicate. Who is wrong here and can you explain it like I’m five if it’s me?

Here is the sentence, without any apostrophes. "According to Johns, my kings, decree, I will go!"

John is my king. I am going according to his decree. Should a possessive apostrophe go on both John and King? should King have no 's, and just be (According to John's, my king, decree, I will go!) Or vice versa and just be (According to John, my king's, decree, I will go!)

I know this is kind of an ugly way to word a sentence, but I'm curious. Without changing the word order, how would I show possession in this sentence?

I ordered a Scotch, which is my favorite drink, next to Martinis.

In the sentence above, am I right in assuming that Martinis is the user's top favorite drink, since they like Scotch "after" that?

I got a live lesson as to how AI is trash in this scenario. Just reversing the sentence by putting "next to Martinis" at the start makes them reverse their decision.
