Are both of these sentences correct,“There’s something wrong with my car” and “I can smell gasoline/I smell gasoline?”
Pretty much. If you are smelling gasoline from inside the car, yes “something IS wrong with your car”
Should I say 'Did I do something wrong' or 'Have I done something wrong?'?
You should take a look at: What is the best way to describe the difference between the "Present Perfect" and the "Present Perfect Continuous" in English?You will understand what are the differences between these two terms, although these sentences are very similiar and don’t have many differences.Anyway, ‘Have I done something wrong?’ Implies to say something that is current, i.e, something that still affects in the present, for instance: You are in a party, and someone starts staring at you, you approach to him and ask whether you have done anything wrong, anything that has bothered him until now or something that is still bothering him. Other way to differ these two sentences is by mentioning when it happened: “You stared at me in that party, did I do anything wrong to you that day?” See that you mentioned when it happened, you are referring to an action in the past, which doesn’t have any ligation to the present, your friend no longer is mad at you, that action happened in the past, and doesn’t affect in the present. However, if you had said: Have I done anything wrong? It’d imply to say that what you did still affects the present, i.e, it is still bothering your friend, you did something wrong in the past, that has still bothered your friend so far, it might be something that you did and keep doing.Take a look at these examples:Have I done anything that bothered you since the party began? = Yes, you have, you haven’t yet talked to me since the party began.Did I do anythingthat bothered you in the last party? = Yes, don’t you remember? You spent most time seeking for girls.What did I do that made you feel mad at me that day in the party? = You didn’t talk to me, and spent most time drinking.You haven’t talked to me since last week’s party, what have I done? = You haven’t called me since the party ended.
Can something we can't prove wrong be correct for sure?
Yes and no.Yes, that can certainly happen. We can’t prove it wrong, but we can’t prove it’s right- yet.We have logic and science, but certainty, for most people, is really a feeling. How do you know a rock really exists? You can feel it. So when people “feel” something is right, like the existence of God, they insist it’s right.Plus if you think something is right, you won’t believe the evidence against it, even if it’s proof.At the same time, many things are both wrong and right, that is, they are different in different situations. If I buy a new iPhone, it’s like $600 - a lot of money. If I get a hip replacement in the US, it costs almost $100,000, making the iPhone look cheap. Often people are trying to prove something that’s subjective. So it depends what you’re trying to prove.There is no “can be proven in general.” Tons of things couldn’t be proven 1,000 years ago that we now know are true. And tons of things were thought true that we now know are false.You should also say why you want this proven. My guess is that you’re trying to convince someone. Let it go. I’m a father who had a very opinionated little boy. I’d tell him how something worked and he’d tell me HIS version. I’d give him a broader view of what people and civilizations and science knew and did and he’d give me his version again. I’d smile and tell him I heard him and his was an interesting perspective. It usually took him a few days to incorporate my version of the story into his. When he was arguing with me, it solidified his view. When I accepted his, he could stop pushing it and hear mine and consider something new.If you want a better answer, I suggest you state what it is you want proven/disproven.
Which is correct, "is there anything I can help / help you with / help with"?
- Is there anything I can help? - Unless you are addressing a group of "things," this is wrong.- Is there anything I can help with? - Common enough colloquially, but to me it feels like it's missing a syllable. You might also hear "Anything I can help with?" because people tend to leave off words in speech. I wouldn't recommend using this form in formal writing.- Is there anything I can help you? - This is wrong.- Is there anything I can help you with? - All good. Also, you could say (informally, in speech) Anything I can help you with?And I'll add these to your list:Can I help [you]?How can I help?What do you want me to do?**This is based on the assumption that the person looks in need of assistance or has already asked you for help. Otherwise it could be taken as "too straightforward," demanding, and exasperated.
What is the definition of a pizometer? yes, this is correct spelling.?
If pizometer is the correct spelling, I am not sure what it is. A piezometer is an instrament used to measure pressure.
Correct me if I am wrong. Is Google a website that has a search engine embeded to it? Or, is Google just a search engine (not a website).?
Correct me if I am wrong. Is Google a website that has a search engine embeded to it? Or, is Google just a search engine (not a website). Apparently, my partner is arguing about it.
Do you value correct spelling?
Indeed. I mean I understand if it's a hard word but "paper"?? who the f spells "paper" wrong??

NO , the given answer is wrongthe last step is totally wrongFor correct working refer to the method below.
Dimensionally incorrect and correct?
It makes sense to say: 4 x (5 oranges) = 20 oranges But it doesn't make sense to say: 4 x (5 oranges) = 20 apples The first one is dimensionally correct - the same type of units are on the left and right. The second one is dimensionally incorrect - there are different types of units on the left and right, which doesn't make sense. _______________________________________... In physics 'dimension' has several meanings. Here, we mean the type of unit: metres, feet, miles, etc have a dimension of length (L) as they are all used to measure distance (i.e. length) seconds, minutes, months, etc. have a dimension of time (T) kg, pounds, tonnes, etc., have a dimension of mass (M) _______________________________________... For example, speed = distance/time We say the dimensions of speed (written as [speed]) are L/T. So [speed] = L/T. Acceleration is speed-change/time, so [acceleration] = (L/T)/T = L/T^2 Force is mass x acceleration (F=ma) so [F] = ML/T^2 etc. _______________________________________... For an equation to be valid, the dimensions on the left side must match the dimensions on the right side (just like our oranges example.) It is then dimensionally correct. However an equation can be dimensionally correct but still wrong. For example if I say the area of a circle = 2 x radius^2: - this is dimensionally correct (both sides have dimensions L^2) - but it is wrong, as '2' should be 'pi'. On the other hand, if an equation is dimensionally incorrect, it must be wrong. _______________________________________... So if you understand all of this you will understand the answers: A) Invalid - see example about area B) Valid - like oranges and apples C) Valid D) Invalid E) Valid
