What is the difference from since and sense?
“Sense” is a verb meaning “feel” (“I sense you near me”) or a noun meaning “intelligence” (“have some common sense!”). Don’t use it when you need the adverb “since” (“since you went away,” “since you’re up anyway, would you please let the cat out?”).
How do you know a sentence is correct or not?
In order for a sentence to be grammatically correct, the subject and verb must both be singular or plural. In other words, the subject and verb must agree with one another in their tense. If the subject is in plural form, the verb should also be in plur al form (and vice versa).
How do you use yourself and someone else in a sentence?
So, to answer your question, you only use “myself and someone else in a sentence” when you are the subject of the verb and you and someone else are also the object: “I made dinner for my wife and myself.”
Where do we use since?
We use since as a preposition with a date, a time or a noun phrase:
- It was the band’s first live performance since May 1990. (
- I have been happily married for 26 years, since the age of 21. (
- It’s so long since I saw them. (
- Lenny had slept most of the way since leaving Texas. (
How do you use since in a sentence?
Since sentence example
- Since you arrived, she is not sure this is the way.
- He’d been in a grumpy mood since he got up.
- Since then he had treated her with total respect.
- I haven’t even seen him since the funeral.
- Since they were all dressed up, she assumed they were going to church together.

Has been or have been?
1 Answer. “Has been” and “have been” are both in the present perfect tense. “Has been” is used in the third-person singular and “have been” is used for first- and second-person singular and all plural uses. The present perfect tense refers to an action that began at some time in the past and is still in progress.
What are the 4 kinds of sentences with examples?
The 4 English Sentence Types
form | function | |
---|---|---|
1 | declarative | statement: It tells us something |
2 | interrogative | question: It asks us something |
3 | imperative | command: It tells us to do something |
4 | exclamative | exclamation: It expresses surprise |
Why we don’t use past tense after did?
That is because a past verb already has ‘did’ hidden in it. E.g. which does not make sense to use past tense twice. Hence when you follow a did with main verb, we do not use past.
Does not and did not difference?
“Doesn’t” is a contraction of “does not”, the third person singular of the present active tense of the verb “to do”; “don’t” (“do not”) is the present active of “to do” for all five other persons; and “didn’t” (“did not”) is a past active tense of all six persons.
How do you use the word myself correctly?
While “myself” and “me” are both objects, “myself” is what is called a special object. You should use “myself” and not “me” as the object, only when you are the subject of the sentence. Example: I could not dress myself. Correct: You are asked to contact the provost or me.
Is how about yourself grammatically correct?
How about yourself is grammatically incorrect. When using reflexive pronouns, you should use a subject at least once, although you can have an implied use to e.g.. You did that to yourself or (You) Look at yourselves. It is grammatically correct to say How about you, yourself, but that’s pretty clunky.
What is the difference between ‘didn’t’ and ‘haven’t’?
Haven’t refers to the past up until now. So if you haven’t done something, you haven’t done it for a specific period of time (day, month, ever, etc.) Didn’t refers to a specific point of time that has already passed.
What is the difference between he/she/it have and haven’t?
If you refer to I, you, we, they, then you have to use have. If you hear he/she/ it have then the person speaking is either making a mistake either using some sort of slang (as a teacher once told me, even if I’m not sure this is correct) haven’t is plural, while hasn’t is a singular verb and matches the singular subject “she”.
What is the difference between ‘have been to’ and ‘had been to’?
Both have been to and have gone to can be used in future and past perfect forms. Had been to indicates that someone has gone to another place and returned. On the other hand, had gone to indicates that the person was not present at some time in the past. Here are some examples:
What does I haven’t eaten dinner yet mean?
So if you haven’t done something, you haven’t done it for a specific period of time (day, month, ever, etc.) Didn’t refers to a specific point of time that has already passed. For example, if it is 7 PM, you could say “I didn’t eat dinner at 6” or “I haven’t eaten dinner yet today”. In both instances, you can still eat dinner.
