Dec 16, 2015 · Hi everyone! I am wondering if 'burdens' should be used for the following sentence: "They carry huge burdens". I am at a loss because a quick search of the dictionary told me that 'burden' is a countable noun and, hence, people often say "I am carrying a huge burden" etc. However, what shall the form of 'burden' be if it is preceded by a plural ...
Sep 30, 2020 · Sep 30, 2020. #1. Hello. If it is not a burden for you, could you revise the quotation? One of my Japanese friends sometimes uses "burden" in his writing sentence above when he asks someone to do something work-related such as clerical work like amendment of some errors in document.

Jan 24, 2007 · First of all, "greet him from me" is grammatically incorrect. It would be "greet him for me," which would be understood but is not idiomatic. At the very least one would say "give him my greetings," but even that isn't very common. My personal preference (and probably what I say in 100% of these situations) is "say hi (to him) for me."

I can't think of any other phrase which would use the preposition "on", and certainly none using the verb "have".
Feb 28, 2020 · The Newt said: 2. and 3. mean the same thing, but 1. means something different. It could be interpreted as "postpone the meeting that was scheduled to take place next week," but it could also mean "continue to postpone the meeting through the next week."
