Hello everybody, I'm new to this community and I've found it very useful for English learners so far. Well, I need to ask a few questions that always get me confused while conversing in English. It would be nicer if you give a little bit explanation too, that why blah sentence is correct and why it can't be blah.
==============================
I only have one friend. I've only one friend. (Want to say that I don't have more than one friend.)
==============================
I didn't understand anything. I didn't understand nothing --- I don't understand anything. I don't understand nothing. ================================
There is two girls [in/on/over] here. There are two girls [in/on/over] here.
================================
We would all be happy. We all would be happy.
=================================
I'm off from work today. I'm off work today. I'm off the work today.
==================================
Thank you for your effort on reading my post and thanks in advance if you answer any of my queries.
PS: Please correct me if I make any grammar mistake while writing up my questions. |
