Technically, Turnitin flags this as "self-plagiarism." While you are not copying someone else's work, you are reusing your own previously submitted material without proper acknowledgment. Most academic institutions consider self-plagiarism a violation because the expectation is that every submission should be original work created for that specific assignment. To address this situation: Seek clarification from your instructor(s): Some professors or institutions allow the reuse of your own work if the situation is explained beforehand, but others may have stricter policies. Paraphrase and expand your answers: Instead of copying your previous response word-for-word, try to approach the topic from a slightly different angle or incorporate new insights. This way, your new submission demonstrates a fresh effort while still addressing the question appropriately. Cite your previous work if allowed: If the institution permits it, you can cite your earlier submission as a source, ensuring transparency.

Using "yet" with wh- questions is uncommon because "yet" typically indicates something expected to happen or be completed. It works better with yes/no questions like "Have you finished yet?" In wh- questions, "yet" often sounds awkward because such questions focus on specifics, not expectations. For example, "Where have you gone yet?" is incorrect. Instead, you'd say, "Where have you gone so far?" However, "yet" works with wh- questions if rephrased for context, like "Why haven't they arrived yet?"

Thank you for your kind words! I’m glad you found the explanation helpful. Let me clarify your question. In the present perfect tense, “for” and “since” are indeed used to indicate a duration of time or the starting point of an action that continues to the present. For example: “I have lived here for five years.” (duration) “I have lived here since 2013.” (starting point) These expressions don't specify a particular moment in the past but rather show the continuity of an action. This is why they can be used with the present perfect tense, even though the tense itself does not pinpoint an exact past time. Instead, it focuses on the relevance of past actions or experiences to the present. So, while “for” and “since” give information about time, they are not “identified” time markers like “in 2014” or “last year.” They provide context without breaking the rule that the present perfect tense does not specify a particular moment in the past. I hope this clears up your confusion! Feel free to ask if you have more questions.

Watch this video to understand both the block and point by point methods and when to utilize each: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnXbpHavbrCpjrcsi=-VNrr92bUH4fVXgg For cause/effect essays, the Block method is typically used. This is because when writing a cause essay, you focus solely on causes, without discussing effects within the same essay. Likewise, when writing an effect essay, you concentrate only on the effects without discussing causes within the same essay. Each body paragraph would cover one cause or one effect, respectively, and provide detailed information about it.

Don't worry, it's a common challenge for many language learners. Keep practicing, and it'll become more natural over time! 😊👍

Thank you so much for your kind words

Your observation is on the right track. While a "creative synthesis" may involve visual elements like pictures and design, it's important to remember that the core of a synthesis essay is to integrate ideas from various sources into a coherent narrative or argument. So, even if it looks like a newspaper in terms of visuals, the underlying purpose is to synthesize information creatively to convey a compelling message. Ensure that your visuals enhance and complement the written content for a cohesive and effective presentation.

Glad that I got an answer really helpful finally have conclusion on synthesis is all about. Thank you for this.
