发帖数: 734 | 2 The apostrophe simply means the omission of one or more letters.
The omitted letters need not be vowels.
I don't think it has anything to do with phonetics.
isn't, wasn't, aren't, doesn't, don't, etc. => [verb] + not
int'l => international
nat'l => national
o'clock => of the clock
O'Grady => [son] of Grady
'til => until
t'day => today
g'day => good day
However, "gottuh" or "got to", when it means "must", is actually
a colloquialism that came from an illiterate form of "ought to". |

发帖数: 734 | 10 I still think "down" is an adverb here and part of the phrasal verb
"push down" meaning "to lower", "to deprioritize".
In the sentence: "A pushed B down the stairs."
"down" is a preposition. However, the prepositional phrase
describes the direction of the action, not B, so it is still not an
object complement.
In the sentence:
"The Myanmar crisis pushed the Iran debate off the U.N. agenda."
"off" is a preposition, and "off the agenda" is an object complement
modifying "the Iran debate".

发帖数: 16778 | 22 how to know if a preposition phrase functions as adverb which
modifys the verb, or as complement which modifies a noun?

the other usage is the same to "hesitate"

发帖数: 67 | 26 If the word/phrase an adjective clause modifies is an object in the clause,
"that" is optional. Your sentence is an example.
If an entire clause is the object of a verb, "that" is optional, as in "I
think (that) you did a great job." |

发帖数: 67 | 27 The whole sentence is an imperative sentence. Its verb is "recall" and its
subject is a clause introduced by "that", a subordinating conjunction.
The subjective clause itself is another imperative sentence (also a compound
one), consisting of an adverbial phrase "to find an average", an adverb "
simply", and two predicates joined by a coordinating conjunction "and".

the first lesson has the following sentence,
'before any actual research is done, the researcher should try to get down

the verb phrase, 'get down on', in dictionary, means 'criticize'.
but here it doesn't mean criticize. maybe mean 'obtain' or 'collect'.
can anyone explain this? because I couldn't find any dictionary which

发帖数: 2443 | 33 the way i see it, spoken english is very different from written
english. In everyday speech, we tend to use shorter sentences, more
verbs and filler words. Slightly complex concepts are usually
explained with multiple short phrases rather than long sentences with
modifiers and extensions as is usually done with writing. You might
use 200 spoken words to describe one thing which could be done with 50
words if carefully written.
Spoken words are easy to follow when the speaker maintains a good

俺和俺家老那谁自从在一起后，俩人就是习惯“sweetheart”, “sweetie”地互相叫
。今天我嫌那个撕啊喂啊滴啊的绕嘴，就自做主张地简化了一下，改叫老那谁喂喂（“
wee-wee”）。
老那谁听了愣了一下，问我：“这个字中文有什么特殊的含义吗？”
我说：“没有，就是简称，昵称”。
老那犹豫了几下把我叫到他的计算机前，开始在Google的搜索栏打“wee wee”这两个
字。
我说：“你干什么？”
老那说：“我让你看看这两个字是什么意思。”
老那一回车，Google的搜索结果显示：
Verb：wee-wee - eliminate urine。
我说：“啊？什么意思？”
老那说：“wee wee means to pee，why don't you pick a different word？”
老那说完就走了，留下我汗颜。。。

昨天晚上bf在写一个essay,他问我知不知道affect和effect的区别，然后给了我几个句
子做例子，整个过程相当一个confusing...
一开始，他说，hey u know how different “effect” and "affect" r?
然后我by default地认为他在问二者作为动词的区别，就一通查，然后一通解释。
然后他说，oh ok, so---"the affect is pretty obvious?" i should use it like
this?
我一听就崩溃了，我说，那什么，原来你是要问作为名词该怎么用啊！？
然后他说，noun? noun means "something" right?
我继续石化，然后说，那我再查查啊，刚才跟你说的区别是作为动词... 阅读全帖 |
