In this case, "very" is an intensifier.  It adds emphasis and literalness to the word it modifies.\n\nIn response to your second question, there are many, many grammar books out there.  Please be more specific about what situations and audiences you are writing for and we can make a better recommendation.

Affects is more of verb, like "i affected the outcome" or something. Effect is the noun, like "cause and effect." Therefore, when you say "I come with sound effects," effects would be the correct word to use.

Try going to Format>Font.\nThen, under 'Effects', if the All Caps box is checked, uncheck it.\nThat should fix your problem.

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 second on is correct, rule #3\n\n\nRule 1.  Use the apostrophe with contractions. The apostrophe is always placed at the spot where the letter(s) has been removed.  \n  Examples  don't, isn't \nYou're right. \nShe's a great teacher.  \nRule 2.  Use the apostrophe to show possession. Place the apostrophe before the s to show singular possession.  \n  Examples  one boy's hat\none woman's hat\none actress's hat\none child's hat\nMs. Chang's house\nMr. Jones's golf clubs\nTexas's weather\nMs. Straus' s daughter\nJose Sanchez's artwork\nDr. Hastings's appointment (name is Hastings)\nMrs. Lees's books (name is Lees)  \nRule 3.  To show plural possession, make the noun plural first. Then immediately use the apostrophe.  \n  Examples  two boys' hats\ntwo women's hats\ntwo actresses' hats\ntwo children's hats\nthe Changs' house\nthe Joneses' golf clubs\nthe Strauses' daughter\nthe Sanchezes' artwork\nthe Hastingses' appointment\nthe Leeses' books  \nRule 4.  With a singular compound noun, show possession with 's at the end of the word.  \n  Example  my mother-in-law's hat  \nRule 5.  If the compound noun is plural, form the plural first and then use the apostrophe.  \n  Example  my two brothers-in-law's hats  \nRule 6.  Use the apostrophe and s after the second name only if two people possess the same item.  \n  Examples  Cesar and Maribel's home is constructed of redwood. \nCesar's and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. \nThere is separate ownership.\n\n\nCesar and Maribel's job contracts will be renewed next year. \nThere is joint ownership of more than one contract. \n \nRule 7.  Never use an apostrophe with possessive pronouns: his, hers, its, theirs, ours, yours, whose. They already show possession so they do not require an apostrophe. The only time an apostrophe is used for it's is when it is a contraction for it is.  \n  Examples  This book is hers, not yours. \nIt hurt its paw. \nIt's a nice day. \nIt's your right to refuse the invitation.  \nRule 8.  The plurals for capital letters and numbers used as nouns are not formed with apostrophes.  \n  Examples  She consulted with three M.D.s.\nBUT\nShe went to three M.D.s' offices.\nThe apostrophe is needed here to show plural possessive.\n\nShe learned her ABCs.\nthe 1990s not the 1990's\nthe '90s or the mid-'70s not the '90's or the mid-'70's\nShe learned her times tables for 6s and 7s.  \nRule 9.  Use possessive case in front of a gerund (ing word).  \n  Examples  Alex's skating was a joy to behold. \nThis does not stop Joan's inspecting of our facilities next Thursday.  \nRule 10.  If the gerund has a pronoun in front of it, use the possessive form of that pronoun.  \n  Examples  I appreciate your inviting me to dinner. \nI appreciated his working with me to resolve the conflict.

I learned a goofy mnemonic device to remember this in elementary school... but it always works:\n\nverB - Affect  (A and B are together)\n\nAfter a while, it becomes second nature :-)

Your study's what?  It sounds like you need English help as well, to learn the difference between a plural (studies) and a possessive (study's).\n\n+3 and -3 = 0 since they are additive inverses of each other.  If you plot them on a graph, they are equidistant from the 0 point.  So in effect, they "cancel" each other out and you get zero.\n\nI think you are the one who is getting upset at having an error pointed out calmly and politely.

Use "LIKE" for nouns (persons, places, things) and "ENJOY" for verbs (action words)

Here is a website with punctuation and grammar rules that I've used before:\n\nhttp://www.davidappleyard.com/english/punctuation.htm

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
