How is this German sentence formed?
I'm playing a game that helps teach german, but I'm stuck on one part. I need to form a sentence with the words: Ich, spreche, so gut, leider noch, nicht, Deutsch. I know what all the words mean individually but I can't seem to create a proper sentence. The one that I thought would be correct is: Leider noch Ich spreche nicht so gut Deutsch; however, it didn't work. Also, I think the sentence is suppose to start with "Ich." Thank you very much.
How can I improve my sentence formation?
In the past I have taught expert witnesses how to write reports which will be scrutinized in litigation. Many very well qualified people have trouble writing straightforward prose. These are some of my suggestions.Based upon your question, as written, I suspect you can benefit from reading and hearing more examples of proper standard EnglishIt will be easiest if you read well constructed sentences written in standard English I suggest short stories by Ernest Hemingway for fiction and the magazine , The Economist for factual articles. I suggest you read them aloud to yourself so that you become accustomed to hearing what a well constructed sentence sounds like. When you are writing your own sentences, read them aloud to yourself. It is easier to identify where improvements must be made when you actually hear the sentence. After awhile you will be able to forgo reading out loud. Avoid popular magazines or on-line articles because the writing tends to be less formal and the words more vernacular. It is important to master the basic grammar , syntax and vocabulary forms first. Hemingway and The Economist will be good examples to follow.Start by keeping the sentences clear and simple.The format should be [subject] [verb] [object]. Focus on whether you are using a verb form of a word when you should be using the noun form.In your question you use "construct" which is a verb. Because that word is the object of the sentence, it should be a noun. The noun form of the word is "construction"Use simple adjectives to modify nouns and adverbs to modify verbs . Limit adjectives and adverbs to two per sentence until you are more fluent.You should also limit the number of prepositional phrases in a single sentence.If you cannot take a class in English as a Foreign Language, search on line for computer classes which teach this
Which of the two sentences is correct? 'What did you do' or 'what you did'?
Hello, You have asked a very good question. Many people get confused with these types of sentences. And it’s very genuine because these types of sentences are very confusing.It’s very weird to know both the sentences are correct. The question you have asked here belongs to Interrogative of Simple Past Tense or Past Indefinite Tense. But the structure of both sentence is different.The first sentence (What did you do?) is Interrogative of Simple Past Tense and ‘did’ is a helping verb not main verb in this sentence and ‘do’ is used as a main verb. One more thing in the first sentence there would be a question mark. This sentence must end with question mark (?). But normally it’s a common human error otherwise the first sentence is right.In the second sentence (What you did?) ‘did’ is used as a main verb. Because ‘did’ (second form of Do) is used as a main verb there need not to place a helping verb.The structure of Interrogative Past Indefinite Tense or Simple Past Tense is given below (with question word)-1.Question word + did + subject + main verb (first form) + object ?Example- Where did you go?OR2. Question word + subject + main verb (second form of verb) ?Example- Where you went?
What is the difference between these two sentences: “Who have you requested?” and “Who you have requested?”
“Who have you requested?” is a question written in the proper order. To be correct, it is actually “Whom have you requested?” “Who you have requested?” is not a question. The words are in the wrong order. When a statement is rephrased as a question, the order of the subject and verb need to be switched around. You can’t just take the statement and put a question mark at the end to turn it into a question.

Rewrite each of the following two sentences in if-then form and explain the logical relation between them.?
(1) “I say what I mean” (2) “I mean what I say.” More details: “Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?” said the March Hare. “Exactly so,” said Alice. “Then you should say what you mean,” the March Hare went on. “I do,” Alice hastily replied; “at least—at least I mean what I say—that’s the same thing, you know.” “Not the same thing a bit!” said the Hatter. “Why, you might just as well say that ‘I see what I eat’ is the same thing as ‘I eat what I see’!” —from “A Mad Tea-Party” in Alice in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll The Hatter is right. “I say what I mean” is not the same thing as “I mean what I say.” Rewrite each of these two sentences in if-then form and explain the logical relation between them.

Is this a correctly formed sentence, "I read in a history book that American government and English government conspired together and changed the democratically elected president of Iran”?
Try: “I read in a history book that the American and British (England is just one country with the UK) governments conspired (no need to say ‘together’, it is already implied by using the word ‘conspired’) to overthrow/replace the democratically elected president of Iran (or alternatively you could say they ‘conspired to install a leader sympathetic to Western interests’ or something similar).The sentence would need further alteration if you wished to indicate explicitly that they succeeded in their goal, since the word ‘conspired’ only indicates intent, not action.
Why is the sentence "me no like you" wrong?
Q. “Why is the sentence ‘me no like you’ wrong?”Dear Anonymous, your tortured sentence would be perfect only if you were writing a script for Tarzan and Jane. They were fictional characters living in a jungle; Tarzan’s most memorable line was, “Me Tarzan! You Jane!” Your sentence is both unkind and ungrammatical. Real people learning English would not talk like this, well, unless the person was two years old.Although you might not have intended this as a serious question, I will nevertheless treat it academically because I do have followers who are serious about understanding the basics of English.Proper English would be “I do not like you.” Below are explanations of the parts of speech on the corrected sentence.The subject is “I” instead of “me.” (‘I’ is in the nominative case. “Me” cannot be a subject; it is used only as a direct object or as an object of a preposition.)The negative particle/adverb is “not” instead of “no.” (“Not” is used with verbs, and “no” is used with nouns, as in “I have no idea what you mean.”)The verb is “do like” (“Do” is the auxiliary/helping verb, and “like” is the basic form of the verb. An auxiliary verb is needed when you include “not.”)The direct object is still “you.”I hope this helps.—Sarah M. 1/25/2018
What is the difference between these 2 sentences, “He speaks loudly” and “He speaks very loud”?
The difference between the two sentences is that in the first sentence the adverb (loudly) has been correctly formed from the adjective ( loud) and properly placed after the verb ( speaks) because it modifies the verb “speaks” but in the second sentence neither “very” nor “loud” is functioning as an adverb because “very” neither modifies the verb “speaks” nor the word “loud” as it ( loud) is not functioning as an adjective in the sentence. The word “loud” would be an adjective if it would describe or qualify a noun or pronoun in the sentence. As “loud” is not an adjective, the word “very” does not modify it. So, “very” is not an adverb at this point, too. Thus the first sentence is correct and the second sentence is incorrect. If we want to make the second sentence correct, then we need to use the adverb form of the word “loud” which will be “loudly”. If we do this, then both “very” and “loudly” will function as adverbs. The word “loudly” will modify the verb “speaks” and the word “very” will modify the adverb “loudly”.Correct sentences:He speaks loudly.He speaks very loudly.Hope this helps.Thanks. Feedback please.
