Has it ever occurred you that you might also not have been very fluent when speaking Chinese?
Has it ever occurred to you that you might also not have been very fluent when speaking Chinese?
Does it sound euphemistic and natural in a casual tone?

Is this a part of grammar?
Judge: I sentence your driver's license "be" revoked.
As you can see, my question is why the judge uses the root verb here without an auxiliary in front of "be".
Is it because it's an imperative sentence? The auxiliary verb was omitted.

Can someone translate it into English?
人間なんて そんなもんだ。社会は人に ひとつの人格を望む。人格が一貫してればしてるほど誠実な人間だと捉えられる。だから みんな表向きの自分を演じてそこから はみ出る部分を隠したがる。隠してきたものを消してやれば一貫した人生になる。反対に 暴き始めればいろんなものが壊れる。It's actually written in Japanese

Do you like using Grammarly? Why or why not?
well... Firstly, I must clarify one point. I'm not doing advertising; instead, just simply asking.
Speaking of which, though I've been using it after seeing its commercial on YouTube, I still don't consider it as a well-rounded software. (e.g., "I wonder why so I posed this question." Grammarly told me that I should have changed "posed" to "posted", which I thought was superfluous).
But it did save me from lots of typos and even let me know the rules that I haven't learned.
Up to now, when hearing the slogans (blah, blah, blah...), I click "Skip Ad".
What do you think of it?
Please leave a comment(s) below and let us learn from your perspective.

Past perfect without simple past
I've been taught that past perfect is often seen together with simple past and is used to emphasize the action or event that occurred earlier than the other action or event.
I see past perfect without simple past from time to time.
"They'd got a special grant from the Institute."
In this case, does it just simply mean: "They had a special grant from the Institute."
I have got three children = I have three children
Is it possible that I was mistaking it for past perfect?
Is it possible for past perfect to exist independently? (what I really care)

A question about grammar
Is this correct?
The interesting part is seeing his prudent mom "taking" care of his irresponsible, chicken, and childish dad.
Could it be other forms of the verb "take"?
Given "see" is a verb of perception, so I used the -ing form.

What are your favorite cartoons/animated series?
Hi guys, have you seen Paradise PD? People on youtube say it's like another version of Brickleberry and it's full of dark humor. I personally think it's a bit like South Park. What do think of dark humor? Do you think it's funny or shitty? I'm looking for animated shows that like Phineas and Ferb or Dexter's Laboratory. I know the latter is old but quite entertaining; besides, it's a part of my childhood. Here is the place for everyone to name your favorites and illustrate why.

Should read/be read?
Your sentence should read as follows:
Your sentence should be read as follows:
I think they both make sense but with slightly different meanings/semantics. Am I right?
It all depends on the context?
I could use some helpful examples for both of them.

To replace the word "smooth"
Context:
I personally recommend this translated version.
As it'd be more smooth and grammatically correct.
If I wanted to rephrase the word "smooth", what words could possibly be the options?
Please give some synonyms which work as suitable to the context as possible!
