[@nicholasdarraugh7626]

@writetotop Hi Adam, how would one explain "was disappointed" as "active" and not passive (especially since "disappoint" as a transitive verb means to make disappointed)? Does its being transitive have something to do with it?

[@noufaljehani9775]

thank you so much for graet effort

[@jeevanigoga1273]

Hello Adam, Great explanation as always. Could you please explain to me this one. Prices have increased vs Prices have been increased. I always wonder how the former one can be correct.

[@jeevanigoga1273]

Tirth Patel I am sorry I didn’t ask the question clearly. I do know that its present perfect passive. My doubt is really about the former one. “ Prices have increased” i mean how prices themselves can increase themselves. I saw a sentence “ Prices have increased by 10%” Although I can understand the real meaning, i want a clear clarification.

[@olegpodlipalin5916]

@@jeevanigoga1273 According to www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/increase_1?q=increase the meaning of 'increase' is 'to become or to make something greater in amount, number, value, etc.' As we can see there're both options are available.

[@Cristian-Andres1]

Dear Adam and the rest of the community: I've recently wrote this and I want to share it with all of you, learners ad eternum. A glimpse into a professional career . How I have distributed my time in possession of my college degree? First of all, eleven years have passed since I became a mental health professional. During the four first years after my graduation I worked as a clinical psychologist, mostly in primary health care institutions. Then I moved into the industrial sector, in which I have been doing functions for learning and development. But the last two years have been terrible for me in terms of employability. These last couple of years I have been unemployed. Almost none opportunity has appeared for me in order to work as a psychologist again. Some people say I need to reinvent my self and look for others jobs. I think they might be right, but it’s not that easy, reinventing oneself. Dear regards. Cristián. PD: feedbacks are welcome!

[@elinapin9628]

Sigue intentandolo Samuel, no hay que rendirse, yo he pasado por situaciones similares y siempre trato de reinventarme, Dios te bendiga.

[@DarkOneno-n6]

Hi Adam, can you use two passives in one sentence?

[@Alhabshan_m]

I was looking for this grammar base for a while, especially causative and subjective. If you can guide me to an explanation webpage, I will appreciate it. Thank you so much, Adam.

[@steffanisartini4364]

Hi Adam, I have a question: What is the difference between the usage of " If I were forced to choose, I would..." and "If I was forced to choose, I would..." I've seen those 2 versions in essays, cotes, publishments all over the internet. Which one can I use in my essay for TOEFL? By the way, I'm a huge fan of yours...😉

[@elvst3331]

Steffani Sartini if I were Is grammatically correct but convention has made the use of was kinda acceptable in spoken English. So my advise is go with I were to be safe.

[@moulmour]

Thank you teacher!

[@mariamkinen8036]

[@palmtreepalmtree4921]

Hello sir, can I use the following exoression in may academic writings : this has stripped it of its meaning ????

[@AS-xo4ne]

1 - This computer is broken down every month. Or 2 - This computer breaks down every month. Which sentence is correct and why? Please answer.

[@elvst3331]

The second sentence is correct cos you talking about habits that happens monthly and it’s an active sentence

[@alifasl533]

"a nation in which transportation infrastructure, for example, is sufficiently developed can increase worker productivity by reducing worker's stress level" "is developed" isn't it wrong? isn't it supposed to be "was developed" ?

[@hohomeagain]

A government is obligated to develop nation's infrastructure with introducing better transportation services to minimise traffic congestion; thereby reducing workers' commute time and stress levels, and increases their productivity creating a prosperous economy where Citizens will be benefitted from.
