why is "It is Cold to ..." or "It is Good to..." structurally-grammatically wrong??(These are Adjectives too)

I don't understand your question.  There are certainly valid sentences using those phrases, e.g.\n\n"It is cold to the touch"\n\n"It is good to help people"\n\nI have a feeling you're asking something different, though.  Please clarify your question.

Its: ''don't offer'' as offered is past tense ....the same applies to ''sentence'' !!

Sentence number 2 is correct.\n\nThe reason sentence 1 is not correct is because it has a dangling participle. In other words, the participle cannot distinguish what it wants to describe. \n\nIt could be that you realize how much different you have been than before (like in sentence 2)\nOR------\nit could be that you realize how FREQUENTLY you have been different than before.\n\nIf you read sentence 1, you will realize that both senerios could be true. \n\nHope this helps\nThanks\nJon

The sentence "I watched figure skating yesterday." is just fine.  Well, done.  Don't listen to all the other people that want you to change it to make it all complicated and serious sounding, they're just trying to sound intelligent.  There's absolutely nothing wrong with writing simple sentences when you're just learning a language.\nWhat is you first language anyway?  You seem to know English pretty well so far.

This is quite correct grammatically.\n\nThe form 'being' is a GERUND. This is a type of verbal noun produced by using the -ing ending on a verb.\n\nFor example: I enjoy sleeping. 'sleeping' is a GERUND, the action is a noun but is created from a verb. This is a widely unknown term that is used in everyday speech frequently. (Same with the subjunctive mood)

Why would you say "it's nice THERE" if you are there?  You'd say "it's nice HERE."\n\nThis is a bogus question.  Thanks for the 2 points.

I think this is a case of a writer, or his editor, searching for a word and not coming up with the word he intended. I think he was looking for "tapped," which can mean selected, but his mind gave him "tabbed" instead. It's not the making of a noun into a verb that is the problem. That's done all the time in informal English. It's just not a good word choice.

"Are" is a conjugation of the verb "to be", which is used, among other things, to describe qualities or states of being.  You would say "Are you hungry?" because "hungry" is an adjective. \n\n"Do" is an auxiliary verb that is used in questions along with another verb: for example, "Do you sing?" is a good question.  It is equivalent to "Is it true that you sing?" \n\nMore examples:\n\nAre you okay? ("okay" is an adjective)\nYes, I am okay.\n\nDo you smoke? ("smoke" is a verb here)\nYes, I smoke.\n\nAre you running?\nNo, I am not running.\n("running" is a participle, which is an adjective formed from a verb)\n\nDo you run? ("run" is a verb here)\nNo, I do not run.\n("do not" + verb infinitive is how to answer "no".)\n\nDoes he love cake?\nYes, he loves cake.\n(you conjugate "to do" and you leave the verb like "love" in the infinitive.)\n\nDoes she hate you?\nNo, she does not hate me.\n\nAre you thirsty? ("thirsty" is an adjective)\nNo, I am not thirsty.\n\nAre they tired? ("tired" is an adjective)\nYes, they are tired.\n\nIs she pretty? ("pretty" is an adjective)\nYes, she is very pretty.\n\nGet the idea?

The first one is correct.\n\nThe second would be correct if you changed the is to has.\n\nHTH

Because the gods of grammar conjugation say so.\n\nIt is an irregular verb.  You just have to memorize it.

Yeah one can do so, EG: I´ll cook chicken only if you want to--- TO is a preposition and there´s nothing gramatically incorrect in this setence ;) Of course it doesn´t apply to every prep .Here you have a link to a website wich might be helpful \nhttp://www.englishclub.com

If it's a compount sentance...\n\nExample:\n\nI'll run for help, you get the fire hose!\n\nThe subjects are 'I' and 'you' with an implied 'and' conjunction (but not really).  The compound predicates are 'run' and 'get'...   So... there you go.\n\nThis isn't two sentences, it's a compound sentece.  (I guess the case could be made that it should be two sentences.)  Keep in mind that I was trying to make a compound sentence with two non-conjunctionated (like my made up word?) subjects.  Really you would say soemthing like "Go get help and I'll grab the hose" which WOULD have a conjunction.

Laziness..spell-checker and the internet... Enough said....\nIt's a pet-peave of mine too.. I don't expect perfect grammar, but I at least want to be able to understand what one is saying to me...I'm not a perfectionist, but let's get real...Nobody takes you seriously if you can't tell the difference between to, two and too...Geez! DRIVES ME CRAZY!!

Temporary is an adjective.\nTemporarily is an adverb.\nI would use :\nYou temporarily close the shop.\nBut the shop is temporary closed.

Yep.  Makes perfect gramatical sense.  However, so does\n<Green dreams sleep furiously>  even though it doesn't make sense in any ordinary way.  \n\nIf there is any problem in your sentence,  maybe it has to do with the idea that something has <got frozen>. \nThat isn't something which happens often enough for it to trip off the tongue. \nAlso, does it mean that the program running froze/hung, or does it mean she dropped it in the icebox?  \n\nBut basically, no problem.  Sure it can be written.  Or should that be <certainly>?  :-)

the sentence doesn't make sense...It has to be: My dog, Spot, lives for five years and then........-----or My dog, Spot, lived for 5 years..---the problem with the sentence is with it's tense...you can't live for 5 years in the current tense.
