Let's talk English!


Recommended Posts

Jordanintheforum

Siccome è l'area Off Topic ho pensato, perché non iniziare a fare post in cui si parla in lingua?? Siccome io parlo inglese e spagnolo apro ora quello di inglese, e dopo quello di spagnolo, ma forza aprite anche voi un topic in cui si parla la lingua che più vi piace =D

 

Hi folks!! It's Jordan here..let's talk english!!

Well... maybe now it is! :P

*scusate il momentaneo italiano*

ma da quello che mi hanno insegnato di grammatica inglese entrambe le forme sono esatte si può infatti scrivere:

1) to + forma base

2) for + forma in -ing

per esprimere una finale!

 

 

 

a meno che ''pass'' non sia uno di quei verbi senza la forma in -ing . . . allora sì sono un cretino ._.

To is used to express purpose.

For is used to express function (of instruments, tools, devices etc...)

 

---------

 

To è usato per esprimere lo scopo.

For è usato per esprimere una funzione (di uno strumento, un utensile, un dispositivo etc...)

 

Example.

 

Can I use this glass to put there primroses in? (purpose)

 

What's this instrument used for?

For measuring blood pressure. (function)

She probably intended what Altair said, but didn't explained it very well!

or maybe it's 'cause I'm really an idiot

I find the American English way easier than the British one. But no way that I am gonna prefer the American accent lol!!! British is so much better! The Canadian accent is something in between...and I do like it :D

 

In terms of English-speaking countries... On the one hand, I am deeply in love with Canada... I went to Vancouver - the pearl of the Pacific - and Toronto... two of the best places I have ever been in! On the other hand, I am incredibly attached to England :love:

Have you ever been in North America? Or is it just a 'feeling'?

 

You

 

If the "you" means me... Cheers, mate xD!!!

Since we're talking about the infinitive of purpose, there's another rule you should take note of:

 

after verbs like go, come, run, hurry up, stay, stop the infinitive of purpose is sobstituted with and.

 

It usually expresses a command.

 

Example:

 

Come and sit on the sofa. (command)

 

There's no bread. I'll go and get some. (purpose)

Cheers to you dude =D hahaha anyways, i've been both in Canada and USA, I loved them both but i don't know why but I prefer U.S.A. but, it's just a personal thing.. I always loved north america and I had the confirmation when i went there lol

Thank you for explaining this but (I'm ignorant in grammar lol), but I am 100% sure that you can say "I'll go get..." My friend used to say to me all the time "let's go get".. or "Jordan, go get..." etc... :)
