Well, I'm not good at English, my English's bad and is becoming worse and worse. I'm not sure that I can understand simple sentences, so dont use advanced English with me okay xD
Btw, Would you be good enough to explain to me what is the difference between these prepositional phrases: good at and good in?
Which of the following is correct?
1) She was the best in the class in Greek, but in mathematics and biology she was not so good
2) She was the best in the class at Greek, but in mathematics and biology she was not so good

To be good at and to be good in are often interchangeable and there is no easy rule to follow, so I'm a little confusing abt it @_@

2 - right. It seems like "empty word"...

Bro, the simpliest writing, particularly from the writer (nhà văn), is a very advanced writing. It's an art to write in a simple sentence.
There're 2 kinds of language, I think: communicating Eh and written Eh. We are talking to each other here in com. Eh and helping each other to write written Eh.

come on, guys. The 1st is the best (of 3) I like (key word is the "and"). I love translating into VNese (the way VNese says), and I am bad at Eh gramma.

Dear Mr. TRULY_ENJOYING_GAME
I did google the word 'Eh' but still dunno what does it stand for?
But I can see that you used the 'Eh' to refer to the word 'English', right?
And I find this so interesting because I've never seen anyone else uses it that way like you did before.

BTW, I'd like to exchange Eh with you very much, but I found a small problem that you name is too long and too difficult for me to remember.
Would you mind if I call you Mr. T.R.Y.M, which is abbreviated from TRuly_enjoYing_gaMe.

Both of you might as well google for abstract noun and noun adjective.

...and this case ain't got nothing to do with English grammar. It's about your translation. Take this:

Mày thì... còn tao thì...

Oh hey, I've seen "Eh" several times in your posts. What the hell is that?

This is from the teacher: (not from me, of course!)
2. "They must have been delayed by having traffic." (must -> đoán, dự đoán, có lẽ. must have -> đoán,... (ở quá khứ))
3. "I have never forgotten and will never forget that winter, the winter when we had to eat plant roots to survive."

What you all try to do now? I am the topic now? You've welcome!
(And when you all finish, I will have new names for you all too, fair?)
Your turn to share now, pls!

How's about this?
2. They must've been in traffic jam.
3. I never, and will never, forget that winter, when I we had to...

I'd rather use the present tense to affirm sth.

Both of you might as well google for abstract noun and noun adjective.

I got some in the google of "abstract noun" and "noun adjective" through this http://www.englishclub.com/grammar/n...-adjective.htm. And I came to the conclusion that we use "noun as adjective" when there is no "adjective form" of that word. Is that right?
