✨You're welcome 🆚 Welcome✨

🅰️ We use 'you're welcome' for 2 situations:

1️⃣ after thank you (you can also add degrees.. 'you're most/very/quite welcome')

2️⃣ as a mainly formal invitation within an invitation. After people have entered the restaurant or hotel
, for example:

🔸"you're welcome to use the wifi"

🔸"you're welcome to sit on these sofas"

🔸"you're welcome to use the swimming pool until 9 pm"

🅱️ We use 'welcome' when someone first joins something new, such as a new sports team, a marriage, a new country, or a guest arrives at a party.
Examples:

🔹"Welcome to our family!"

🔹"Welcome to the team!"

🔹"Come in, welcome!"

⭐️ WHETHER 🆚 IF ⭐️

📕The dependent yes-no interrogative clause is formed with if or whether:

🔸Do you know if/whether the banks are open?

📘The dependent alternative question has if/whether . . . or:

🔸I don't know whether it will rain or will be sunny.

🔸I don't care if your car breaks down or not.

📙A clause beginning with whether cannot be made negative, except as second part of an alternative question:

🔸I don't care if it doesn't rain.✅

🔸I don't care whether it doesn't rain.❎

🔸I don't care whether it rains or (whether it does) not.✅

📕Whether-clauses pose alternatives more obviously than if-clauses, which can be ambiguous between this construction and that of conditional-clauses. Whether-clauses, unlike if-clauses, may be used where there is little resemblance to an indirect question:

🔸It's irrelevant whether she's under sixteen.✅

🔸It's irrelevant ❓if she's under sixteen.

🔸You have to justify whether your journey is really necessary.✅

🔸Your have to justify if your journey is really necessary.❎

📘If tends to be more frequent than whether in informal style for yes-no clauses.

📗On the other hand, if is more restricted syntactically than whether. It must occur as complementation of verbs and adjectives, in consequence in which it is excluded from certain contexts:


1️⃣ If cannot introduce a subject clause unless the clause is extraposed:

🔸Whether she likes the present is not clear to me.✅

🔸If she likes the present is not clear to me.❎

🔸It's not clear to me whether she likes the present.✅

🔸It's not clear to me if she likes the present.✅

2️⃣ If cannot introduce a subject complement clause:

🔸My main problem right now is whether I should ask for another loan.✅

🔸❓My main problem right now is if I should ask for another loan.❎

3️⃣ The if-clause cannot be the complement of a prepostion:

🔸It all depends on whether they will support us.✅

🔸❓It all depends on if they will support us.

4️⃣ The if-clause cannot be appositive:

🔸You have yet to answer my question, whether I can count on your vote.✅

🔸❓You have yet to answer my question, if I can count on your vote.

5️⃣ If cannot introduce a to-infinitive clause:

🔸I don't know whether to see my doctor today.✅

🔸I don't know if I see my doctor today.❎

6️⃣ If can't be followed directly by or not:

🔸He didn't say whether or not he'll be staying here.

🔸He didn't say if or not he'll be staying here.❎

But or not can be postposed:

🔸He didn't say if he'll be staying here or not.✅
-----------------------
⚠️Note:

⏹1️⃣ With certain introductory verbs or adjectives a negative- whether clause is acceptable:


🔹I wonder whether he doesn't expect too much from her.

🔹I'm not sure whether he doesn't expect too much from her.

✨In fact, however, such sentences have a positive rather than a negative meaning:

🔹I think he expects too much from her.

⏹2️⃣ There is a close connection between conditional if and interrogative if; both convey doubt about the truth value of the clause. Compare:

🔹If she wants you, (then) she will say so.

🔹Does she want you? (Then) she will say so.

✨Where ambiguity may arise, intonation or punctuation separation may sometimes be necessary to distinguish the interrogative from the conditional clause:

🔹I'll tell you later if I can find the time. [if=whether]

🔹I'll tell you later, if I can find the time. ['If I can find the time, I'll tell you later.']

⏹3️⃣ As with either, whether or if can be used for more than two choices, despite a tradition of binary association:

🔹I don't care whether you do your homework or play outside or go to bed.

✨The Only Way to Use Quite with Comparatives✨


📕Quite is NOT USED with comparatives:

🔸He looks quite older than his wife.❌

📒Concerning 'quite better', it is just an expression meaning 'recovered from an illness':

🔸Don't start work again until you are quite better.

📘The only way to use quite with comparatives is ▶️ by ADDING A LOT or A BIT:

🔸He was quite a lot older than her, and had children that needed looking after.

❌NOT: He was quite older than her ...

🔸As I say, I had my babies quite a bit earlier than these ladies.

❌NOT: ... I had my babies quite earlier than these ladies.

📚TILL (as a preposition)


1️⃣ Up to a time or an event specified.

🔹In those days we had to work till six o'clock.

🔹The party travelled from dawn till dusk.

🔹Till the death of his father he held a minor position in the family business.

2️⃣ Before a specific time or event. (This is found chiefly in sentences of negative import.)

🔹I can't see you till three o'clock.

🔹We don't expect an answer till next Wednesday at earliest.

🔹He didn't come into the property till the death of his elder brother.

📗Till is also used, with the same two meanings as above, as a subordinating conjunction to introduce an adverb clause of time.

📕As a conjunction, however, it has a third use, which combines the first meaning given above with the suggestion of result:

🔹We laughed till the tears rolled down our cheeks.

📙Till and until are usually interchangeable, though until is more usual than till at the beginning of a sentence:

🔹Until
her marriage she worked as a secretary.

and when it is desired to emphasise the idea of duration of time rather than merely the end of a period. Otherwise rhythm and euphony would seem to be the deciding factors.
