ElvisH1978 I personally wouldnt mind much letting the senior citizen get the next cab. I have always respected my elders and hope that someday when I am old that people will respect me too. The elderly dont have much time left to live. Why not give them some kindness?

ElvisH1978 Some very good points about child disciple there. I know one thing when I was growing up if I did something bad I was going to get a spanking. I believe in spanking because it taught me right from wrong.

ElvisH1978 I didnt start school until I was 5 or 6. (Cant remember exactly how old I was). Depending on where you live some schools may have age restrictions on when they can start in grade school. (Kidnergarden here in the USA) I think that it is depending on when their...

ElvisH1978 I did not get to watch the PPV but for the most part the matches went as I thought they would. I was happy when the Miz won the IC. I thought he would be a good champion. Its too bad that he lost the rematch the following night and Wade Barret got the title...

ElvisH1978 Sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, it has gotten to the point where people dont want to help out others anymore. Perhaps its too many cases of where when people stop to help, the person that helps gets robbed, or killed. It is so sad to see society not help...

ElvisH1978 Its not uncommon for tourists to want to take photos with their friends when they are in a foreign land. I am going to assume that you are wanting a complete stranger to help with the photo taking as you and your friend's hands are either full or are posing...

ElvisH1978 The homes built by Habitat for Humanity arent that bad. I guess it depends on the area though. I know they build houses with volunteer labor and I think they get donations that helps with the materials.

ElvisH1978 I generally say "It has ended" or "Its done. All your responses looks correct. It is just a matter of what tense you want the response to be in. (Example past, present, or future tense, ect.) Often, native English speakers can determine what a person is...

3 responses

ElvisH1978 A better way for the conversation to go would be this way. A. Have we met before? B. I don't think so. In this example, B is stating that he or she does not think that they have met before. It could mean that he does not remember if they met, but at the...

4 responses

ElvisH1978 Both mean really close to the same thing. I can use both in real life. I do think other people have mentioned different tenses and it sounds right to me. I can see both ways being said here in America. Only way I could ever think those could be wrong would be...

ElvisH1978 Depends on how many files were actually deleted. Defrag is meant to rejoin information clusters and make data fragments closer on the disk so that information can be read faster. Hence how defrag makes a computer faster. It will also help if many files were...
