How can I know if the sentence I write is correct or not?
If you are talking about grammar, I would recommend Grammarly. It’s free on the chrome app store (what I have). It’s super helpful and if you upgrade to premium, it can go past grammar and find “advanced mistakes” as in weak words like very and other really cool stuff.
Can I start a sentence with "Whether"?
What the others have said is right. The key point is that there needs to be another clause. You can't just say "Whether the flight arrives on time or not." In Dogleg's example, there's another clause- "we'll still be there." Many teachers try to stop students from writing fragments by telling them not to start sentences with "Because" or "whether"- but that's too simple explanation.
Is the sentence grammatically correct? If not, how to I correctly rewrite it?
Right or wrong, good or bad, Savior or Satan: the decision is yours to make. Take out the 'and.' You have what is essentially an indefinte series of pairs. The 'and' implies finality - that there are only those three. Yes. 'Savior' (in this usage) should be capitalized. Use a colon instead of a semicolon. A semicolon is used to separate independent clauses, not the case here. A colon is used to separate a list of things. Typically, the list comes at the end, but you are using inverted word order, so it comes first.
English. Could I have these two very short sentences checked by native speakers please?
Here.. "I'll telephone you after I've seen Jake." "After I had finished school, I went to America." Do they look good to you (I mean, from a nazi-grammatical point of view, of course)? They are okay to me, but, after having read this amazon review (below), I am wondering whether they are correct or not. Thank you! * * * * * * * The Review: <<
Is it correct to say "I did not recieve" or "I have not received?
They are both correct, but there is a subtle contextual difference between the two.The past tense (possibly past perfect, implying completed actions in the recent past): "I did not receive the items ordered".This carries with it the sense of completion; this may imply that the situation described is not expected to change.The past imperfect tense: "I have not received the items ordered".This implies that there is a continuing expectation that a situation might resolve, or that an action is ongoing.A simple test is to place "yet" at the end of one of these sentences."I did not receive the items ordered yet" would definitely sound odd to a native English speaker (although there are plenty of uneducated native speakers of English that might phrase it this way) while "I have not received the items ordered yet" sounds perfectly fine.English is a very forgiving language though and it's unlikely anyone would fail to understand what is meant and in some contexts the two phrases could even be interchangeable. However it's one of the little cues that can alert a native speaker of the language that the person communicating with them has learned it as a foreign language.
Can you check my english, please? is it correct to say "I m writing regarding the Administrator vacancy at AB
Since you would already be contacting the company directly, there is no need to state whether you are emailing or writing. I would say in this way. "Please consider the enclosed resume as my application for the position of Administrator at AB"
Is it correct to say "please let me know if you need help" or must I use "whether"?
De’Veon, here is an explanation about whether versus if from a blog I wrote in 2018:Whether ... or not & if | Ruthless Editor Kathleen WatsonWhether and IfWhen using informal language, if and whether can be interchangeable:I wonder if Ben is going to the baseball game.I wonder whether Ben is going to the baseball game.(Both sentences question Ben’s plans to go — or to not go — to the baseball game.)When you’re expressing a choice between two alternatives, use whether:I don’t know whether Ben is going to the baseball game or the basketball game.(Ben will decide to go to one game or the other.)When you substitute if for whether in the same phrasing, you create a statement with a different implication:I don’t know if Ben is going to the basketball game or the baseball game.(Ben could decide to go to neither.)Consider how you would use vocal emphasis if you were speaking each of the last two options:I don’t know whether Ben is going to the baseball game or the basketball game.I don’t know if Ben is going to the basketball game or the baseball game.Whether or notNow consider these examples that show how or not affects meaning:Let Ben know if you would like to go to the baseball game.(This statement requests that you contact Ben only if you choose to go to the game.)Let Ben know whether or not you would like to go to the baseball game.(This statement requests that you contact Ben in either case.)
