A Question Sunjunctive Mood I have got two sentences here. “…as if he is rich” “…as if he were rich” Now, imagine I want to report these sentences. She told me as if the guy “was” rich. She told me as if the guy “were” rich. Are these sentences correctly reported? If so, is that why “were” is a better alternative for subjunctive moods? Thanks in advance!

Logical Deduction "She doesn't eat out." Logical deductions for this sentence would be: -She must eat at home. -She can't eat out. When you are given this sentence and there's no context, how can you really understand whether it is a deduction or obligation? Is it possible to tell when you don't have the context?

Game; [C] or [U]? As far as I know, game in its general meaning is countable. I just read something and I saw the sentence " There was much game hanging outside the shops". Does the word have another meaning here? I thought it might, but I searched and found nothing. Any idea?

Serial murders, mass murders or chain murders In an article, in Wikipedia I saw the title "Chain murders in Iran", which refers to the murders a few years ago, when lots of people –mostly intellectual and politicians- were killed. Now, the question is that is it really a correct word to describe those murders? I asked someone and she said it's literal and suggested serial murder and mass murder instead. Is there any other word for that crime?

Looking for a word I've been looking for a word, which refers to the action of generalizing an idea or anything to a group of people. Like saying all teenagers in Iran are X, for example. I found stylize, but I really don't think that is the word I'd been looking for. Do you have any idea? In Farsi we say: تیپ سازی

a problem with conditionals I was wondering whether there's a mixed conditional structure of first conditional and second conditional. I have never heard of such a structure. So, what would you say when you want to say if something which is not really probable happens, then you will do something. For example, I want to say that I will tell someone if I had any free discussion classes. I don't think it's right to say "If I had any free discussion classes, I will let you know.", is it?

"to not do" or "not to do"? We have always been told to use "not" before "to" when we want to make a negative infinitive. Like "I told you not to do so!" As I have noticed that in dictionaries, the structure "to not" is used instead of "not to". Are they exactly the same? Is "to not" a structure that just a native speaker can use? (As we have never been told to use that)

A question about "any" Guys, look at these two sentences: 1. He hardly ever reads any books. 2. I answered any question he asked. Why does "books" in the first sentence have to be plural and "question" in the second one have to be be single? Is it just because one of them (the second) is a determined noun and the other one is not?

will or be going to? Guys, there's a sentence and I'm not really sure that "will" is the correct answer for it. "I will be 18 by December." I can't get that why "be going to" can't be the answer. Is there any explanation for it? or It's just as it is?
