"Speeding" is common, I have never heard "over speeding."
You can say "going over speed limit."

"The speeding car is moving",or u can use like "The car was travelling at high speed".

Hi there Milanya and Pooja,
Thanks for your help. I hope others will be able to correct themselves from the above explanation.
Yet another question that most of us confuse, 'John has a book' AND 'John have a book'.Which is the correct way of saying it?Where is 'has' and 'have' applied.
Hope to hear from you guys,
Sam. |

Me either. But was 'overspeeding' the right word intended? |

You have to use 'has' for the 3rd person singular, everything else takes 'have'.

overspeeding,repeat that again and sit down are all these correct English expressions?
The car was speeding. is the correct expression. 'Overspeed' only refers to a never exceed limit placed on the car by its technical limitations.
The expression 'sit down' is a standard English expression. It is more polite than 'sit' which would be seen as a command.
'Please (could you) repeat that' or 'please (could you) say that again' are the most perfectly correct terms. However, many native English speakers would say or listen to someone say 'Please repeat that again' and it would be accepted without hesitation.
In addition, if a person has already repeated something once and you are asking them to repeat it a second or third time, then it is perfectly correct to say 'Please repeat that again.' |
