What is the correct way to use these two words? \nIs it 'I practise the piano' and 'dental pratice' or the other way round? \nWhat about when you are talking about religious practises/practices?

"Practise" is simply the British spelling of the word "practice."\n\nPeople need to learn that just because they aren't familiar with the word doesn't mean it doesn't exist...\n\nTo shock you even further, a British person would say, "My car has a flat tyre."  Just because it isn't familiar to Americans who haven't traveled much doesn't mean they should deny its existence.

Actually, both of them are wrong. The correct grammarical way is "Tony and me." You always put yourself last, and then to find whether it's me or I, take away the Tony part. IT would be "He picked me up." Therefore "He picked Tony and me up," is the correct grammarical way to say/type it.

Is this for homework?  You'll have to give me credit for helping or you'll flunk Spanish (that's a gypsy curse).\n\n1) (Yo) toco el piano, el clarinete y el violín. \n2) Me gusta dibujar.\n3) (Yo) viajo durante el verano.\n4) La fotografía es interesante.\n\nIn 1) and 3) you can omit the subject (yo) because the conjugation of the verbs indicate that it is the first person, singular.

1st word: probably "course", a homonym for "coarse"\n2nd word: "piece", a homophone for "peace"\n3rd word: are you sure it's right?  A stopping device is probably a "brake", which is a homophone for "break", but if that's so then your 'n' is wrong.\n\nADDED:\nYour 4th word is probably "hole", a homonym for "whole".

I use both in different situations. If I were to say I was going on a vacation to the Caribbean, I would say Cu-rib-e-un but if I were to talk about the Disney movie and ride "Pirates of the Caribbean" I say Care-uh-be-un. I don't know why exactly, Care-uh-be-un fits better with pirates I suppose.

I know you're going to hate me for pointing this out, but either one is grammatically correct. There is no right or wrong here. It's simply a question of degree. To what degree has your optimism impacted you? What are you really trying to say? Your intent will determine which word you choose. Say each one out loud and go with the one that feels right for your intended message.\n\nAnd by the way -- it's "moments like these WHEN" (not where).

The first sentence and the last one too are both correctly punctuated, mate, they both make the same sense and are fully acceptable.\n\nIf u have a doubt, u can use this sentence either,"While mother WAS DRIVING, father studied the road map." or this one too,"Father studied the road map while mother was driving."\n\nSentence B and C are definitely wrongly punctuated.\n\nHope it helps mate

lol I dont think it matters. They are commonly used phrases in society and I dont take them literally. When I say such things, it is not premeditated, they just come out.so there is no real meaning behind them. Im not actually talking to a god or damning something to that non existent place at all.

Do the diamonds and gemstones bring the opportunity? Or does the brand "Chatham Created Diamonds and Gemstones" bring the opportunity?\n\nIf it's the former, #1 is correct. If it's the latter, #2 is correct. \n\nEither way, "Chatham Created Diamonds and Gemstones" is the subject, and "opportunity" is the object, so it doesn't matter that "opportunity" is singular.

The correct use would be "on the weekends."\n\nI use to play beach volley on the weekends.\n\nHope I helped. :)

They are tricky, but simple once you change a word or two to put them in different contexts.\n\nOn the first one, yes I do see why it could be correct.\nThe word "MY" is a possessive adjective. A noun comes after the possessive.\nMy house.\nMy car.\nMy Answer.\n\nProbably the word that is confusing you is the -ing (PLAYING). most likely you are thinking this word is a verb when in reality it is not working as a verb. we have here a noun. the complete noun is "Playing loud music". This phrase is a participle phrase functioning as a noun. Try this on for size.\nMy parents don't like my room.\nMy parents don't like my stereo.\nMy parents don't like my music.\nMy parents don't like my playing loud music.\n\nThe second sentence talks about you doing something and your parents not being happy about it. Another way of saying it would be:\nMy parents don't like that I play loud music.\nOnce again, from the word "that" to the period, we are talking about a noun clause. Clause is another word for sentence.\n\nHope it helps

Both are absolutely correct.  The adverbial phrase can optionally be placed in several different places in English.  They mean slightly different things, though.  One means that you know a word in your native language but don't know the English translation.  Two means that you may know the English word, but you don't know how to pronounce it.

See if you can fit the word "flange" in to tomorrow's lesson. You should do that every day. Pick a word and see if you can fit it in to conversation. I do that nearly every day.\n\nToday's word was "unpossible". I've managed to sneak it in three times so far today.

US it is PRACTICE. UK and other countries, it is PRACTISE. IT happens a lot when you are reading or talking on the Internet. When in doubt, look it up in your handy, dandy dictionary. Good luck!!

Example : "He studies [Kabbalah], but probably not as enthusiastically as I do....Brits are kind of allergic to the idea [of God]." Madonna - Us Weekly\n\nThe use of parenthesis shows that those are not the exact words Madona used, the words in the parenthesis are added to make it clear what she was talking about.  Also, when they use ... it means that something was left out of the quote.

I actually asked a teacher about this and also a professor who lectures on Shakespear so now you got this:\n\nNo matter how you intend to use the words, the true expression is definitley “as well." They are always two words, despite the fact that many people seem to think it should be spelled “aswell.” \n\nExamples: “I don’t like plastic trees as well as real ones for Christmas.” “Now that we’ve opened our stockings, let’s open our other presents as well.”\n\n"as well" is used to emphasise the following:\n\n1. Besides\n\n2. Too, \n\n3. Also\n\n4. Likewise\n\nOk, u heard it from the true source. Now she can't argue with you, as well as debating it till she's blue in the face.
