May 16	comment	“How dare you” vs “How do you dare” MT_Head, How would you say "How dare you" in the Past? It should be a "modal" dare. If we say "How did you dare" then it gets another meaning, right? Shall we stick to "How dared you do" or what?

May 5	comment	A few issues dealing with the subjunctive mood Peter, is “I wish he would come tomorrow" correct?
May 5	comment	A few issues dealing with the subjunctive mood Andrew, I have no intention of disagreeing, but in this case I can't take your word for it, I need some backing-up on your end. Formatting is really a problem, but I can't do anything about it.

Feb 20	comment	could versus be able livresque - both
Feb 19	comment	could versus be able Jon, clarify please! Am I right on the following? If we add to this sentence "I could run 10km in under 40minutes" the word "yesterday" then it becomes incorrect? That is, "I could run 10km in under 40minutes" - CORRECT (some time in the past) / "I could run 10km in under 40minutes yesterday" - incorrect.

Jan 10	comment	Is there any difference between Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous? Oh, I see. So would this one be wrong: I have learnt English for the past few weeks.
Jan 10	comment	Is there any difference between Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous? oops another thought. Does "in" have something to do with "completion"? "I have learnt English in the past few weeks" - completion is implied. BUT: "I have learnt English for the past few weeks" - doesn't sound like completion is implied. May be it also has something to do with "in" and "for"?
Jan 10	comment	Is there any difference between Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous? What if I want to say that I have been learning English in the past few weeks but am not going to go on learning it and I haven't really learnt it? What tense shall I use? May be "I was learning English in the past few weeks?" As all say that PPC implies continuation then how do we get out of it if we don't need this continuation and we also don't need a completion?
Dec 17	comment	Some other or another Can it be that: "2) There must be another explanation." - means that there really exists a certain explanation somewhere in the world, while "2a)There must be some other explanation." - means that "some other" explanation is only an assumption, that is, this explanation hasn't been revealed or materialized in someone's mind yet but hypothetically it might come along in the future. Is such an explanation probable? –

Nov 10	comment	The usage of “the” with “least” You say: "If the "the" is there, "least" acts as a noun." Then: I'm not the least surprised that she's leaving. = I'm not the (one) least surprised that she's leaving. Then there may be other people who are also surprised to a certain degree. So I don't understand why you rule out comparison when we leave "the" in. In this case we would simply compare different people with their degrees of being surprised. But you say that comparison is only possible when we compare participles (verbs). I don't see why it's not possible to compare having "the" in.
Nov 3	comment	The usage of “the” with “least” Kris, That chair queaks least./That chair queaks the least. Both are possible. Where is the logic?
Oct 30	comment	Present Simple instead of Present Perfect That's a good one
Oct 30	comment	Present Simple instead of Present Perfect +1 Lately /I won a lot of races. — What about: Recently I won?
Oct 30	comment	Present Simple instead of Present Perfect FumbleFingers, unfortunatley, there is no other way to understand the why))) If you read Bill Franke's answer it will be clear that he finds differences between "Lately I've got the feeling [some feeling]" and "Lately I get the feeling...". And I get the feeling that you don't see the difference. It's also interesting.
