Britain is taken from the Latin word Britannia and generally refers to Great Britain. The full name is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.\nGreat Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales\nThe United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland. \n\nAll the words you listed are correct depending on exactly what you are referring to.

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!

You have trouble using articles correctly.  You should study indefinite and definite articles (the, a, that, etc.).  Also, one would say "Would you please evaluate my English on the following links (or it is okay the way you wrote it "on these links")?"  To ask "Can you..." queries the listener to whether they are capable of doing the action requested.  To use the conditional is more appropriate and polite.

I agree with the "you're" and "your" response. I even asked a question about that one. Other common ones: there, their, and they're or it's and its. Another one I see quite often that I find humorous is the confusion of "lose(r)" and "loose(r)."\nIt's especially funny when someone says, "your a looser."\nOkay, maybe not to everyone, but it is to me. :o)\n\nOh, how could I forget too, two, and to?

I think it would be better like this: ....... if you dont listen to me WHILE I talk to him on the phone.\nYou are supposed to use "While" when the action goes on for a length of time".\nAnyways, I dont think you should really worry since the average native speaker doesnt use grammatically correct sentences.

Are the 2 questions related?  They don't really make sense in the same sentence.  Maybe girls don't understand you if that's how you talk?  Seems like maybe you should focus on one thing at a time.

I can answer only part of the question (Yahoo answers, pls feel free to claim back half a point from my score!).\n\nActually, many native speakers DO make mistakes when speaking in this way - particularly where there is a 'false' candidate for the subject - e.g. 'Foreign investment in many states of the US has been growing in recent years.'  Here some native speakers' 'automatic grammar system' can be fooled in fast conversation into applying a plural verb because of the 'many states', which is plural.\nThe bit of your answer I can't really answer is how to help you get it right instinctively every time.  However, as many native speakers are sometimes 'tripped up' by this in fast speech, there is nothing for you to feel too bad about if you do too.  Unlike many (less educated) native speakers, you are at least aware of the explicit rule and will always be able to correct yourself - either in speech or in writing.

Aaaa ... ok. Now I see the fine print. I was going to suggest you tweak your quote to something like, "to be a great speaker, you really need ideas." Maybe you can rework it in a clever way to include both ideas.

Grammatically, they're both correct.\n\nIf you're using this sentence in some kind of composition, your biggest problem is that the sentence has an inconsistent tone. The middle of the sentence has the sophisticated "atypical dialects," while the beginning and end are much more conversational and less descriptive.\n\nBut if you're asking me to pick, I would say the second.

It is incorrect. It should read, "Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact Joe Blow or me."\n\nOne way to determine this is to remove one of the two persons you are referring to. In this instance you are referring to yourself and Joe Blow. Take out Joe blow and you get, "Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact myself."\n\nThat doesn't make any sense. Replace 'myself' with 'me' and you have a sentence that makes sense. Now put Joe in front of you and you have a complete, grammatically correct sentence.

We'd happily answer if we had any idea WTF you were talking about.\n\nSlow down, think about what ytou mean, and write in complete English sentences usnig normal grammar. Explain what information you actualy want. Try showing some courtesy to others by being considerate and taking the time to communicate.\n\nPosting the same menaingless gibberish 4 times is a waste of perfectly good electrons.

If you mean, I want to advise you, then raten is correct.\n\nIf you mean I want to assure you, then versichern is correct. If you add more details with the sentence you want to translate the proper word nan be more correctly ascertained

1. Why am I letting (object/situation/feeing) stop me?\n\n2. Why am I reacting so strongly?\n\n3. Why don't I care? Why do I care?\n\n4. Why should I care? Is it Important?\n\n5. Why do I (object/action)? Is it really necessary?

Some of these aren't quite right, but it's a little difficult to know how to correct them without seeing more of the context. \n\n1. The word "evaluated" does not work here. Maybe start with, "According to the evaluation, the total surface..."\n2. You need the article "a" in front of "covering. " "Was used as a covering..." I am not sure "covering" is the right word, but I don't know that much about interior decorating terminology. \n3. Fine. \n4. Not sure what you mean by work "field" but otherwise okay. \n5. You should say, "in the purchasing" instead of "for the purchasing." \n6. Not sure if this okay; would need to know more. \n7. Fine.\n8. Rewrite: "Two years after the paint had been used, toxic gases radiated from the paint."\n9. The "views" can't "advise." Only people can advise. \n10. The word "disrupted" is not right here. I am not sure what you are trying to say here. \n11. I would move the word "analyzed" to after "brands," but otherwise this is fine.

They all already ARE grammatically correct... they just sound a bit formal.\n\nOther ways to write the sentences:\n\n1. He doesn't think piano lessons in the garden are unusual anymore.\n\n2. His love of singing and dancing helps him make connection with his friends.\n\n3. Everyone was surprised when the animals to react violently to the treatment.\n\n4.  No one is surprised in today's time to see them playing with their archenemies.

The first and third are correct. The first is in future tense. Still acceptable depending on context of the sentence.

IN MY OPINION VERSION ONE IS CORRECT . WHEN YOU READ IT IT JUST IS MORE FLUENT AND MAKES THE MOST SENSE.  HOPE YOU WILL SOLVE THIS OUT.
