Jan 9, 2009 · If you want to use the comma, you need to pose the statements differently, i.e. "Describe the differences between the following statement." 2. Note that we normally say "differences between" such as "what is the difference between butter, cheese and clotted cream?" 3. You need to say either "These kinds of questions" or "This kind of question."
Nov 18, 2008 · Nov 18, 2008. #2. Hi, welcome to WR! No difference, except that one form is more common (and maybe more correct) than the other. I think technically this should be spelled "mark-up", with a hyphen. But some people often leave out the hyphen in English, even when it is necessary to explain the correct meaning! (Although here there's no danger of ...
Nov 20, 2019 · Nov 20, 2019. #2. "Mark me well" appears often in literature of the period, but is not used in modern English. The meaning is something like "note (this)" or "remember (this)". There is no need for punctuation at the end of the phrase as it is followed by a relative clause, where "that" has been omitted, as is common.
Jul 22, 2013 · It's used for a better readability. It is better to write Cyril ! than Cyril! because in the latter example the exclamation mark is too close to the 'l' which is as high as the mark and hence could be confused with a letter belonging to the word Cyril… Anyway, you may want to have a look at the forum resources here.
Jul 7, 2017 · USA, English. Jul 14, 2017. #9. I prefer demerits. In the concentration camps in WWII, Jews were marked with a yellow triangle on their uniform, criminals had a green triangle, and "anti socials" had a black triangle. All were marked for death. Since most teachers use less harsh forms of punishment, I prefer "demerits".
Apr 6, 2017 · 2. He deserve s full marks. 3. He deserve d a full mark. 4. He deserve d full marks. My guess is that 1 and 2 are correct, while 3 and 4 are wrong. The present tense is correct because the student hasn't yet received a mark. I believe 1 is more correct than 2 because each student receives one mark for his or her test.

May 10, 2011 · London. English - South-East England. May 10, 2011. #2. Well, it seems quite correct to me. 'Let's' appears to be a contraction of 'let us' (and historically it was, of course), but actually it has quite different grammar. 'Let's' is a first person plural imperative auxiliary. Look at how it forms its negative:
Sep 29, 2007 · England, English. Sep 29, 2007. #3. We don't say "photoed by", the full word "photograph" must be used to form the verb: photographed. I don't think there is any particular reason why the shortened form has not been adopted - perhaps it sounds a little too awkward - although the "graph" part of the word does come from a Greek verb meaning "to ...
Apr 2, 2009 · Oregon, USA. USA English. Apr 10, 2012. #7. Speaking for AE, we normally use "score" for things that can be objectively enumerated, such as a list of multiple-choice questions. Essays do not fit in this category, normally, since grading them is usually extremely subjective. We would be more likely to ask "What grade did you get on your essay."
