what's the different between idioms and pharasal verbs in English?
458889
It's not quite accurate to speak of "a difference between idioms and phrasal verbs".  Rather, phrasal verbs are one specific type of idiom.\n\nAn idiom is "a phrase which has a meaning that is commonly understood by speakers of the language, but whose meaning is often different from the normal meaning of the words"\n\nPhrasal verbs are "idiomatic expressions, combining verbs and prepositions to make new verbs whose meaning is often not obvious from the dictionary definitions of the individual words. They are widely used in both written and spoken English, and new ones are formed all the time as they are a flexible way of creating new terms."\nhttp://www.usingenglish.com/reference/phrasal-verbs/\n\nFor examples and discussion of a three-fold classification of phrasal verbs (into "separable", "inseparable" and "intransitive", based on what they do with nouns and pronouns) see: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/handouts/esl/eslphrasal.html

An Idiom is :\n* A manner of speaking that is natural to native speakers of a language, or\n* The usage or vocabulary that is characteristic of a specific group of people, or\n* An expression whose meanings cannot be inferred from the meanings of the words that make it up, or even\n* The style of a particular artist or school or movement

Use a verb in past tense (hacer - mandar - pedir and such verbs that denote you asked for something or you ordered something) and the main verb in infinitive.\n\nFor example:\n\nI have the car fixed: [Yo] hice arreglar el auto\n\nThey have the house cleaned: Ellos mandaron limpiar la casa

It is a predicate (verb) that contains two or more verbs. For example, "He is eating a sandwich." Is eating is a compound verb phrase. "He has been taking piano lessons." Has been taking. "I was given a beautiful scarf for my birthday." Was given. "I am hungry" Am is a simple predicate because there is only one verb in the predicate. \nAnd so on.

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.

Verb - a 'doing' word.\n\nIn this sentence, the verb is 'stop'.\n\nA transitive verb is one that can take an object.  For example:  'I hit John'.  ('hit' is 'transitional' between 'I' and 'John').\n\nAn intransitive verb is one that does not take an object.  For example: 'laugh'.  (I can laugh but I cannot laugh something/someone).\n\nSome verbs (like 'stop') can be transitive OR intransitive.  Example:  The noise stopped.  (Intransitive) as opposed to 'I stopped the noise'.  (Transitive).\n\nIn your sentence, 'stop' is used intransitively.\n\nI am not sure what you mean by a 'linking verb'.  If you mean an auxiliary verb, then 'has' is an auxiliary verb in your sentence.  (The sentence uses the present perfect simple tense of 'stop'.  This tense uses the verb 'have' as an auxiliary.  It's a question, so the auxiliary verb and subject are inverted.  'Has the noise stopped.')

Science Teacher---if you change the pronoun, then two more of your examples work:\n\n"Singular verbs are in the form associated with one person.\n\nWhich is correct?\nHe sees a bird\nHe fly to town\nHe shirts on his back\nHe walk to town"\n\nTry this:\nHe sees a bird.\nI fly to town.\nI walk to town.\n\nAll of those work if you adjust the pronoun to fit the verb conjugations.\n\nSo the correct answer would be that three are singular verbs: "sees", "fly" and "walk".

The definition of an idiom is "a phrase or expression that has a meaning different from the original words that make it up. Here are some examples:\n\nHorse feathers (meaning 'nonsense')\n\nMad as a wet hen (meaning 'very, very vexed')\n\nSee the handwriting on the wall (meaning 'warning of a probable danger')\n\nTo lead [some]one down (or up) the garden path (meaning 'to deceive' or 'to bamboozle')\n\nTo take (something) lying down (meaning: someone who would take something lying down is spineless, a bootlicker, a stooge)\n\nEnglish (and most other languages) are filled with thousands of idiomatic expressions.

An idiom is an expression whose meaning is not compositional—that is, whose meaning does not follow from the meaning of the individual words of which it is composed. For example, the English phrase to kick the bucket means to die. A listener knowing the meaning of kick and bucket will not thereby be able to predict that the expression can mean to die. Idioms are often, though perhaps not universally, classified as figures of speech.

infinitive phases which i will call IP, is a contructed phase where at the bases lie a Infinitive. THats the easy part. A Infinitive is a verb phase that has no time aspect nor plural aspect, 99% of these things look like this 'to' + "verb" for example 'to say" or 'to run"\nAlright u with me, the IP is phase with the Infinitive acting as either the noun (direct object, subject, subject complemnt), adjectives or as adverbs.\nquick ex: noun\n              TO SIDE (Subject) with truth is noble\n             never try TO LEAP a chasm in two jumps (Direct Object)\nadverbial:\n                He cut off his nose TO SPITE his face (Adverb)\n                  -TO SPITE modifies the verb "cut", why did he cut, TO SPIT his face\n\nbeware somtimes the 'TO' will not appear as in soething like, god i hate having to keep on thinking of examples but here like in {no one can make you (to) feel inferior withour your concent} these unmarked infinitives are found in the formula that usually gos -Verb+noun+unmarked infinitive- the verbs that usually cause this are 'make' and other verbs like 'make' i forget. "let' is one too there only a few of them and they are all linking verbs that hint towards a action towards a person or object, well i hope that helps

it depdens in which language you want to know. There are many verbs in one language that won't have translation in another.

b - understanding\nThis is so because you have changed 'understand' into a noun, which here is called a 'gerund'; the other given forms are verb forms and do not fit.
