My English teacher said that we couldn't say 'All men like a cool car.'   He said we had to say ' All men like cool cars.'\nBut I hear some people say 'After we get *a job,we will....'\nIS that a correct sentence? Or do we have to say 'After we get *jobs,we will.....'  But it sounds weird.

I think the difference between the two sentences is:\n\n- cool cars are something general. Either men like them or they don't. If you want to say just one cool car, then you have to say "all men like this cool car."\n\n- a job is something specific. Therefore it makes sense to say "after we get a job". Becuase one assumes that even if we is plural, each person will only get one job.

Skills still spill shrill swills.\n\nIt doesn't make all that much sense, but it's a correct sentence.  You can rearrange it a bit and add in sill and shill, as in: 'sills still spill shrill swills' or 'still, shills swill shrill spills' etc., but I like the first one best.

No, you want "in a car accident". With "by" you'd need something like "a careless driver"--some kind of person.\n\n"After the graduation" is ok if you've already referred to the graduation as an important event for yourself and him. (For example "he was a guest speaker at my sister's graduation--less than a week after the graduation, he was killed.") If it's his own graduation, use "his"; if he was in your class, use "our". Better still would be "less than a week after graduating, he was killed."\n\nI keep automatically changing "one week" to "a week". "One week" is not wrong, but "a week" means the same and sounds more natural.\n\nSo I'd write this:\nLess than a week after graduating, he was killed in a car accident.

Don't worry the problem is not you. The sentence doesn't mean anything. If this is your homework, then your teacher has got their words mixed up.\n\nWe were discovered - would mean you were found by a talent scout.\nWe found a job - would mean you were offered a job. \n\n'job discovered' is not a phrase recognised or used in English.

Ask the experts on this field and that would be teachers/instructors who had been teaching the English Grammar for so so so long.  Better still hear them first when they talk and ask them personally of the correct usage.

i guess something that is applicable? i checked the dictionary, but they don't have an adjective form...\n\nmaybe you should ask your friend? or the teacher/lecturer :)

well, follow your heart. don't follow your head. if your heart says that your sentence is right, it'll be right. but, first, read up your basics. for examples, singular and plural. i only know singular and plural and i can score the best in my english in my school. if u can't, the best u can do is just shoot!!

The statement number 1 is grammatically correct.\n(Other answerers - To be grammatically correct, a sentence should not be meaningful -- Consider this: I saw some cars flying near the bottom of the Pacific Ocean when I was eating iron sheets)

If this is a true evaluation, you have to talk about the subject being evaluated, which happens to your group. You could keep saying "the group" over and over, but that will get pretty lame after a while. I would reccomend that you just go with it, use "we." After all, you are part of the group. I don't think your teacher/prof will mind. As for past tense, that really only applies to discussing literature. You should be ok with talking in past tense about things that are done and over with.

The 2nd sentence is correct and very formal; there is something like an old subjunctive form hidden in it.\nThe 1st sentence is (informally) not incorrect and could be found in British English.

They are singular, and that is the real trick.  When we think of "everybody" we tend to think of a group.  Think of the words this way:\n\nevery ONE body... some ONE body... any ONE body... any ONE... \n\nThese are called indefinite pronouns.  \n\nWrong: Everyone in the class are ready for the test.\n\nCorrect: Everyone in the class is ready for the test.\n\nALSO:\n\nWrong: Everyone put their coats in the closet.\n\nCorrect: Everyone put his or her coat in the closet.\n\n:-)

Are these sentences correct?\nEveryone has their own charisma on people and things.  (The use of "their" has become common, though you can use his/her.)  I'm not so sure about "on people and things."  This would require some previous reference to that phrase in order to make sense.\nCertain families have bipartisan members.  (Bipartisans is not a word.)\nAt election time, they canvass every vote at least twice.\nThe school board caucuses (or caucused).  (A caucus is a meeting.)

Could.\nA & C only work in present tense, which "asked" is not.\n\nP.S. "if my answers ARE correct"--never use future in a subordinate clause.

There's an easy way to tell- take out the other person and see if the sentence sounds correct.\n\nFor example: "Me and Johnny went to the store." is incorrect, because without 'Johnny', it becomes "Me went to the store.", which we know is wrong.  Hence the correct version is 'Johnny and I went to the store.".  (Don't ask me why you have to switch it around that way, it just sounds better than "I and Johnny went to the store.").\n\nAlternatively, in the sentence "John took Trisha and me to the mall.", using 'me' is correct because if you took 'Trisha' out, you'd get "John took me to the mall.", versus the incorrect "John took I to the mall." if you tried "John took Trisha and I to the mall.".\n\nThere's a complex rationale behind it about the subjects and objects of sentences and all that, but I find this is the best way to explain it- simple and to the point, with a way to test it.\n\nHope that helps!

This answer depends upon the way the words are used.  If you are saying something along the lines of " The answer was clear to him and me." That would be correct since you want to use 'him' and 'me' separately in order to check the accuracy of use. ie. The answer was clear to HIM..  and The answer was clear to ME.  Each works so the original sentence is correct. \nAs for 'you and him', this would be used in a sentence such as "The punishment will apply to you and him". This is correct for the same reason.  Separate the two and see if each works properly.  \nYou will notice that each works with each of these sentences..  It is not always so, such as with 'he and I' or 'me and him'. If you think of each personal pronoun separately, it is not difficult to decide.

Gone Car - This is a question relating to the correct usage of prepositions in English which we have discussed before. If you recall we touched upon the point that it is all a matter of convention, what is accepted as correct at a given point in time by the majority of people speaking the language in question, here English.\n\nWith that in mind I would say that sentence 4 here could never be used in the manner you suggest. It might be used to describe the ambassador FROM India TO Iraq but not the ambassador FROM Iraq TO India. The other three sentences could each be used to describe the ambassador FROM Iraq TO India, but the preferred method would be sentence 1. You might hear sentence 3 used and it would have the same meaning but is a litttle confusing. Sentence 2 seems to suggest that the ambassador is currently in India which adds a slight nuance of meaning to the other two forms. You might hear it used but I still say sentence 1 is the best in the context you are suggesting here. Hope this helps.

It sort of depends on the context you're using it in.  If you're talking to say, a kid, you'd use the first one.  But if you're talking to a friend that's looking for a job, you'd use the 2nd one.  It depends on how you use the sentences.  The first one is more of future tense, while the 2nd one is more present tense.
