I asked to Chat GPT about modification of “focusing”. Correct? 1. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team with focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising." - "With focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" modifies "us" or "here on this marketing team." It suggests that the action plan would involve the team being on this marketing team while simultaneously focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising. The emphasis is on the team's situation and the concurrent focus. 2. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team, with focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising." - "With focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" also modifies "us" or "here on this marketing team." The use of "with" suggests a more associative relationship between being on the marketing team and focusing on Web-based advertising. 3. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising." - "Focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" directly modifies the action of the team, indicating what they will be doing while being on the marketing team. The emphasis is on the team's activity of focusing on Web-based advertising. 4. "But to our disappointment, the management has once again suggested an action plan that would have us here on this marketing team, focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising." - "Focusing exclusively on Web-based advertising" similarly modifies the action of the team but is separated by a comma. It conveys a similar meaning to the third sentence, emphasizing the team's activity of focusing on Web-based advertising, but with a slight pause. The differences are nuanced, and the choice depends on the specific emphasis and flow you want in your sentence.

Present Continuous or Will? What is the difference when they meaning decision or plan? The Cambridge website says; We use the present continuous to refer to the future when we talk about plans and arrangements that have already been made: ・We’re moving to Cambridge in July. ・Sarah isn’t taking Rory to football training later. She hasn’t got the car tonight. ・Aren’t you playing tennis on Saturday? Will and shall (usually in the short form ’ll) are used to announce decisions and to make offers:

“Be going to” or “Will” I searched into the Cambridge webpage and it describes it as below. So a key point is the difference when both of them suggests “predictions” In that case, is it correct to say that ‘will’ generally indicates the speaker’s prediction or certainty about the future, often without specific evidence, while ‘be going to’ suggests the speaker has evidence or observes present conditions supporting the prediction? 1) BE GOING TO a) Intention b) Predictions -We use be going to to predict something that we think is certain to happen or which we have evidence for now: ・It’s going to snow again soon. (The speaker can probably see dark snow clouds.) ・Look out! He’s going to break that glass. c) Commands 2) WILL a) Predictions We use will and shall to make predictions and to state facts about the future: ・There will be strong winds tomorrow in the south of the country. ・The year 2025 will be the four-hundredth anniversary of the founding of the university. ・We shall need an extra bedroom when the new baby arrives. b) Decisions and Offers

Is this sentence correct? The first step is “recognition” that fat is a real problem for young people. Shouldn’t it be recognizing? Thanks!

How can I give direction in English in this case? Hi, whenever I have foreign visitors in the meeting room, it was always difficult to explain to give direction to restroom, so I was just saying like 'You can go this way.' 'You can take this path and turn right and right again.' 'You can go this way, and the restroom will be on your left.' But I really want to know how to say it properly in this case since I will face this situation many times in the future. Easier way will be fine, but I want to know examples that sound like native English speakers too. #1. How to give direction to female restroom. (The location is after exiting the meeting room, turn right and go, turn right again and go, it is on your right.) #2. How to give direction to male restroom. (The location is after exiting the meeting room, turn left and go, it is on your left.) Thank you

Hi everyone, I'm a bit confused. What's the difference between "I don't like it when he's playing the guitar" and "I don’t like it when he plays the guitar"? In the first sentence, it is also not happening right now. Right? What's the difference then?
