Is the grammar correct for this sentence?
It would be correct to say either: "My phone died" or "My phone did die" But you wouldn't say "had died" - its kinda like a double negative. I am not sure the correct terminology.

What is the correct grammar for this sentence: I am in USA since a year?
I have been in the USA for a year.This sentence implies you have been in the USA for a year in the past and you may/may not have moved away since.I have been living in the USA for a year.This sentence implies you have been in the USA for that past year and are continuing to do so. This sentence however wouldn't be something I'd use. So to be most articulate:I have been in the USA since last year.This implies you have been in the USA for a year and are still there. As a technical person, to avoid any confusion, I’d say “since 20XX” instead of “since last year” but this sentence is correct too.Hope this helped!
Grammar: what is the correct sentence here?...?
Definition of refer: to send or direct for treatment, aid, information Mr. Old Client referred (directed for information) his friend to you. He did nothing to you; you were not referred. The first sentence is the correct one to convey what you mean. Appreciate is certainly the word to use - thank never enters the picture here. However, to be grammatically correct, the sentence should read: " I appreciate Mr. Old Client's referring you to me." If a gerund (participle used as a noun), such as 'referring', is preceded by a noun, that noun should be possessive case. This point is often abused today, but is still the correct way. Citation from GPO Style Manual: 8.18. A noun preceding a gerund should be in the possessive case. in the event of Mary's leaving the ship's hovering nearby BTW, avoid like the plague any advice from a purported English teacher who does not understand transitive verbs, who uses "bare" in place of "bear", and who cannot spell "client."
Grammar help :) Are these sentences correct?
If I want to write a description for a photo, should I write: 1) "This is a photo of me." or "This is a photo of mine." ? 2) These sentences "This is a photo of me with my mother and sister." "I am the one in the middle." "On the left is my friend." (should it be 'is' or 'was'?) Are those sentences correct? Do I write them in present tense? 3) "This photo was taken at Sensoji, Tokyo, Japan." can I write like that, with 3 commas? (as Sensoji is a temple in Tokyo, a city in Japan) 4) "The piano you see in the photo was my very first one." Is that correct? Would "my first piano" sound better? Should I put 'very'? The last one, 5) "My family owns a music school, so I grew up listening to a lot of classical music." Did I use the correct of tense? I separated them into numbers so they won't confuse you. XD Thanks in advance! :)
Is the grammar of this sentence correct?
I am writing an abstract for Norman Cousins' essay "Cop-out Realism." The following are some sentences from my abstract, but they seem 'off' somehow (especially the last sentence). Is the grammar/punctuation correct? Thank you for your input! :) "Leaders should not disguise irresponsibility with the mask of supposed realism. Instead, they should uphold positive social standards. Such standards are not meant to be suppressive, but rather to emphasize the true value of human experience."

Is the grammar of this sentence correct, "You have to work hard in this month."?
If the period of hard work involved is just a part of ‘the’ month, say a fortnight, the month-end, etc, (ie not the whole month), then the sentence would have the attempted nuanced meaning (different from the normal: “You have to work hard this month,”)
