Tio bo

Then what is 'us' and 'English'?

Leongsam(Noun) is teaching(verb) is teaching us English.

Did I use it correctly? :p

 

[Unrepented]

I thought the first is past and later is present tense, that is the difference, no

"I agreed" instead of "I agree". "I agreed" implies you've changed your mind and don't agree anymore.

[drifter]

Actually both should be hyphenated ie "50-year-old...".

I've seen various combinations. I'm honestly not sure which is one is "correct".

What I do know is that "50 years old lady".... is wrong.

sam , at least theres one thing good in you ...that is honesty .

 

[eatshitndie]

.....I'm honestly not sure which is one is "correct".

What I do know is that "50 years old lady".... is wrong.

the single hyphen between 50 and year is the correct version.

[glockman]

"Dateline" instead of "Deadline".

Are you sure or not sir? I have always thought both have different meaning and usage.

“Dateline” refers to a line in a newspaper article that gives the date and the place of origin.

“Deadline“, however, refers to the date or time a task needs to be completed.

Given the different meanings, we should not use these words interchangeably.

[jw5]

"I agreed" instead of "I agree". "I agreed" implies you've changed your mind and don't agree anymore.

sam, disagree (not disagreed) with this.
For example, let's take this statement:

"My friend suggested we take the bus and I agreed."
It should be "agreed" and not "agree", even though I didn't change my mind and we took the bus eventually.

Agreed could mean that you don't agree anymore, but it could also mean that you agreed with something said or done in the past.

Agreed could mean that you don't agree anymore, but it could also mean that you agreed with something said or done in the past.

That's because you're describing a scenario that has already occurred so using past tense is appropriate.

However, supposing someone says :

"The PAP is a fucked up party!".

The response should be :

"I agree." or "I disagree.".

If you say "I agreed", it implies that you did agree in the past but you no longer hold the same opinion. My next question would then be "So what made you change your mind?".

sam is it correct to use


last year my friend said he wanted to buy seat for your biscycle ..and i agreed ...because its past tense .


ps : last year agreed now also agree ..so i still use agreed in the above statement ? the event took place last year but until now i still agree .

Tell that to the people who use "dateline" when it should be "deadline".

"I agreed" is correct. If you want to express the fact that you no longer agree then you should say "I agreed at the time...".
