Adjective or Noun phrase Hi all, I'd like to ask about a term. Which one is correct, English Debate Club or English Debating Club? I used to call it English Debate Club, but then I heard my friend from somewhere always says it English Debating Club. What I see here is that it's supposed to be noun phrase because the word "debate" doesn't need to explain the word "club". Am I right? Could anybody explain more detail? Thanks

I have been wondering about this for a long time, but never had bravery to express it before people especially outsiders. This thing rose when my friend told me that when she was queuing up at the airport, and at the same time some women rushing then stood right in front of two English men (it means that they took those men's turn). Unintentionally, she heard one of those men saying "typical of Indonesian".

Then, my question is "Do western people in the rural area (I mean villages) have this quality called "line up/queue up" as well as the people who live in the city?"

I hope you can share your thoughts or, if you have some experience about this, or if you have lived in western countries, please share with me. I'm looking forward to hearing from you all. Thanks in advance ^^

Let’s write a short interesting story!

“When My friend told me about it, I..............”

<em>(Continue the statement above with your own ideas so that it makes an interesting story.)</em>

 

This is mine.

When my close friend told me about it, I was almost unable to close my widely-opened-mouth. How could I simply believe the gossip that she had just whispered to me about the one we really love? My heart kept beating fast and thumping like I just had had a hula-hoop dance. It felt like a catastrophe setting on the two-metre-brown-wooden-bench where I was sitting. Yes, I admitted that my mind agreed what my friend was talking about, but still; my heart could hardly understand it. She told me that our lovely bunny had just got married to a donkey.

*to be continued* 

I’m looking forward to hearing your story.

P.s Please correct my grammar mistakes, Thanks.

Which one of these is the proper way to say “really?”? Well, recently I’ve just watched the serials of Sherlock Holmes, in which I found many interesting materials especially for spoken language. So, these are the conversations: Mary: John says he’s the most unsociable person he’s ever met. Sherlock: He is? He’s the most unsociable? Mary: Hmm. _______________________________ Magnusson : Shouldn’t be you in hospital? Sherlock: I am in hospital. This is the canteen. Magnusson : Is it? Sherlock : In my opinion, yes. Have a seat. So, what do "He is?" and "It is?" mean? How do you say "really?" using this kind of pattern? Thanks

Past Tense Contrast I have learnt all English tenses but I'm still confused of the usage of each of them, especially for Past Tense Contrast. Why are they sooo complicated????? E.g. The ground was wet when I "left/was leaving" the house. It "rained/had rained" during the night. If I use the rules of Past Continuous-----since there is a "when"---, the answer must have been "was leaving" and it should be "It rained during the night" because there is a specific adverb of time. But, the answers are "Left and Had Rained"... The question is, are these "past tenses" really used in the real conversation? Are the expert using these tenses while they're lecturing?
