Is That Grammar Correct

Which is grammar correct . " I am sad " or " I am saddened " ?

It depends on the context in which you are using it. "I am sad." and "I am saddened" both work alone, but if adding more detail I would use "I am saddened". Example: "I am saddened by the recent rejection I received." Sad is used as an adverb more, such as "The letter made me feel sad."

Is that grammar correct "This way has been passing down from generation to generation"?

That's a somewhat peculiar (but not really wrong) use of the word "way".

"been passing down" is wrong. It implies that the "way" itself is doing the passing, whereas in fact it is (unnamed) people who are doing the passing.

"This custom has been passed down from generation to generation."
"This tradition has been passed down from generation to generation."

Is "I done it" correct English grammar?

While understood to mean something has been completed, the phrase is not grammatical — it’s a phrase. The verb “done” is a part participle and should always follow an auxiliary verb (has, have, am, is, are, was, were, or one of their contractions). In this case, “I have done it” (or the contraction, I’ve done it) would be the grammatically correct choice.As a shorthand for conveying meaning, “I done it” works, but I would not include such a phrase in a resume or other meaningful document. I also would not use a contraction in formal writing.

Please correct my Grammar:-?

To Whom It May Concern: (polite, business opening)
With all respect, please kindly change my Ramadan timing (make sure to CAPITALIZE the 'R' in ramadan to symbolize its importance to you, to him/her) as <--use 'for'--Lam fasting (once again, i don't know if you need to CAPITALIZE, but for the results you're asking for, you should for the 'L' of lam). I prefer (careful using 'prefer', this is a job. You work for someone. They, in some cases, do not care for your preferences. As such, plea/ask them)--use REQUEST. 1 - 5 (always spell out numbers under 10, simple business ettiqutte) It IS difficult for Muslims (CAPITALIZE) to work a split shift.
Thank you, kindly.
SINCERELY (proper closing for an inferior employee)
****THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD READ WITH MY CORRECTIONS****

To Whom It May Concern:
With all respect, please kindly change my Ramadan timing for Lam fasting. May I request a one to five shift? It is difficult for Muslims to work a slipt shift. Thank you, kindly.
Sincerely,


Good Luck

Is "good grammar" grammatically correct?

"proper grammar" is the correct term

Is "well said" grammatically correct?

It's not a complete sentence, but it is a grammatically correct phrase.

"That was well said" means "you did a good job of saying that"

"well" is an adverb
"said" is a past participle

using them in any other form would likely be incorrect.
"He well said, 'Hello'" would be grammatically incorrect.

Is the grammar correct for this sentence: “What matters is that you got an admission”?

Your sentence could mean at least two things: someone has admitted to doing something, or someone has been accepted into an institution of some kind. If the latter, it would be more standard to say: “What matters is that you got admitted.” It’s not a grammatical issue - merely, clarity of meaning, which depends on context.

“I did not mean any hurt.” Is that grammatically correct?

You already have some very good answers here. I cannot improve upon those.However, a tentative bit of advice for learners of English in Pakistan generally could well be that, while practising our spoken English, we aim rather at ease and fluency than at grammatical exactitude.(Please note that this advice wouldn't be applicable where the lapse from grammar is such as to distort the message itself, i.e., you don't want your meaning to be misunderstood just because you’re speaking in a way that comes naturally to you. Suit your language to the occasion.)Having said that, let me assure you that the word “hurt” can also be used as a noun. The following examples are from the Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English:She saw the hurt in his eyes.all the hurts and wrongs of the past.

Is saying "your grammar’s turned out to be wrong" correct?

Yes, if what you want to say is “your grammar has turned out to be wrong” - ‘s is a normal contraction of has in speech. (In writing, you should use “has” unless this is a line of dialog in fiction; speech written down.)If you mean “the grammar that belongs to you” - so that “grammar’s” is a possessive - that’s wrong. “Your” is the possessive in this sentence. And if you’re thinking of “grammar” in the plural, maybe as a collection of separate rules each of which is one grammar, so that “you” could have several “grammars”, it would be wrong twice: plurals don’t include apostrophes, and in English “grammar” is a collective noun for all the rules applying to a language. It would never be used in the plural unless you’re a linguist talking about the grammars of more than one language.
