✨Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, Nobody


This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody.


There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done!

@HowTo_Say

🔢 Writing Numbers


✨Always spell out numbers at the beginning of sentences:

🔻15 people took selfies last year in dangerous situations.✖️

🔹Fifteen people took selfies.✔️

✨When you have a list of numbers, be consistent regardless of how many each one indicates:

🔻Our colleagues have worked here for two, 5, and twelve years,
respectively.✖️

🔹for two, five, and twelve years is consistent.✔️

✨When it comes to writing fractions, hyphenate when spelled out, but do not use an apostrophe:

🔻I like three fourth’s of his songs.✖️

🔹I like three-fourths of his songs.✔️


➕Bonus:

⚪️ Ordinal numbers tell the order of things (first , second , third , etc.), whereas cardinal numbers count: one, two, three, and beyond.

⚪️ Few people actually write out sentences such as “This is the twenty-six thousandth time I have told you.” We might say these words, but we rarely write them. Instead, we usually write sentences such as “I have told you 26,000 times.”

🔸Young criminals should get in touch with their victims, so that they can realize the trouble they have caused. ✔️

🔹If children get into troubles, their parents must bail them out. ✘

🔻We all have our troubles and we must deal with them as best we can.

💢#Conversation /ˌkɒnvəˈseɪʃən $ ˌkɑːnvər-/ BrE AmE #noun

💬 Let’s go back to what you were saying earlier.

💬 Can we return to the previous point?

💬 I can’t quite see where you’re heading.

💬 The conversation took an unexpected turn/direction.

💬 I’m listening – Go on!

💬 We’ve covered a lot of ground.

💬 I was just coming on to that.

💬 We eventually arrived at a conclusion.

💬 It’s a roundabout way of saying she’s refusing our offer.

💬 You’re on the right/wrong track.

💬 We wandered off the topic.

💬 The conversation drifted rather aimlessly.

💬 We kept going round and round in circles.

💢#Either /ˈaɪðə $ ˈiːðər/ BrE AmE #conjunction
أمّا؛ أيْ؛ أَيًّا كانَ؛ أيضا فوق ذلك؛ أيّما؛ كل من أي من أحد الأمري


✨Either can be used in the following ways:

🔻in the expression either...or:

🔹Students could choose either French or Spanish.
🔹You can either come by bus or take a taxi.

🔻as a determiner (followed by a singular countable noun):

🔹a long room with a door at either end

🔻as a pronoun:

🔹Olive oil and corn oil are both suitable, so you could use either.

(followed by ‘of’):

🔹Does either of you speak Chinese?

🔻as an adverb (in negative sentences):

🔹Jerry wasn’t there either.

✨When either is the subject of a sentence, it is usually used with a singular verb:

🔹Is either of them at home?

But in #spoken_English a plural verb is sometimes used:

🔹Are either of them at home?
