I want to learn English grammar and elements just like those native-born speakers--although I already know some rules of grammar. I think to make me throughly understand English that I need to learn as a begginer.

For example, I don't know why people often put "else" behind the nouns it is modifying. Else is an adjective, so putting it in front of any noun should make sense. Also that in Mandarin speaking, we could put any kind of adjective in front of pronouns. But this doesn't work in English; it just doesn't make sense to people. I don't know why. When I speak, I memorized lots of grammatical rules which I have to think before speak. And I think in order to go to UC-Berkely, in order to be interatcing fleuntly with people, I need to study over with a book.

I also know when you command someone to do something, you say the verb which is in its origin instead adding -ing onto it. Like: Do it. But when you want to add an adverb to make it stronger, people often add it behind the expression, like "do it slowly" instead of "slowly do it." I don't know why it would be wrong if I choose to put that adverb in front of that expression.

I hope to be as good as those native speakers in the States, so I have to re-study the basic structure of English. There are too many unopened frustration for me which is of English that I need to take care of them throughly.

I went and found a book: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?userid=nl6FcHrBd2&isbn=0764553224&itm=2

See that link?

Do you think this book helps? Do you think it will unveil all my troublesomes?

I just don't get it why we can put adjective in front of any pronoun in Chinese but not in English.

Mary said it.

I don't know whether replacing "said she" with "said her" is wrong.

Just a quick question: Is English grammar structure the most complex among all languages? Why did some people say it is a concise language?

And I feel the variety of English usage is kinda limited. I have to think before speak.

I heard that the breakthrough of nanotech might change our humen processing. It means that probably our bodies will become half-artificial and half origin. Like maybe there will be a new element to replace our blood to provide living matters and neutrients to us. Do you think it is possible?

You guys forget one point: Women tend to be more mature than men, no matter mentality or physic. And I did not say I will have sex with those young girls; my point was to cultivate them as their big brother, and when they get mature enough, I will go further. So I try to be friend with them, until the very moment that they are adults or older, then I will express my feeling toward whom I really love.

Nevermind, I give up.

I am taking tennis course this summer. I found out that serving is a difficult task. you serve, you have to strike the ball into the front-court box. And it is very hard to do it when you want to make your ball goes fast. I also feel that it is difficult to play with another one. I feel I am better at one-on-one. And before I attended my tennis course yesterday, I did some AB-wheel excercise. This excercise really helped me that it had the flow of energy in my arms going smoothly. So I did well in my tennis course last night. Speaking of being playing tennis, do you really need to have certain ability of the strength of your arms--no matter how good or how skilled you are?

Also that I feel playing basketball is quite hard. I felt holding ball which was barely. We shoot the ball into the bucket, we must be relax and let our muscles be loose. During the process of shooting and releasing ball into the mid-air, there is a crucial time to put all of your energy into it in order to make it accurate. But since just by holding ball without any movement is so tired, does that mean we need certain amount of energy in our arms to play it well?

Oh ok. how about dating girls who are 17 or 18?

And i think 19 and 15 are quite close, why are you guys so surprised?

katy holmes is 26¹[/url'], not 15.

Well, oh ok. Suppose that I am 24 and I try to date a girl who is 15, I can teach her many things that I learned in college and universities and life; after all, when she turns to 18 or 19, we can discuss being love-mates. Isn't that nice?

That is not sad. Then how do you explain to me the situation of Tom Cruise and katie Holmes? Tom dates this young babe and still, no criticism occurred.

Well, limitedlessly in my that sentence stands for adverb.

And I am oing to point out an error. You said that we cannot put adjectives in front of any pronoun, but I often see some words with "most you," most is that adjective, then how and why could you put it in front of a pronoun?

Oh? A lot of people do it? Then it must[/b'] be okay. How foolish of me. You know what, in light of the revelation that a lot of people do it, I think I'll just hop on over to the local elementary school and pick up a fifth grader or two to train for future sexual endeavers. While I'm at it why don't I nick a few CDs from Circuit City. Why not? A whole bunch of kids do.

No, no, no. You messed up my point. I mean that I try to get to know any girl, and wait till she is legal. I get them not just for sex, but for the interaction of romance.

By the way, the most challenging schools of US are UC-Berkely, Standford and harford, right?

Who has this experience that you receive something you ordered online sent to your house by UPS? I noticed that most their paperbags got some smell, the scent looks like it is from some people spitting. I don't know if it's just me or so are others. Really nasty, it is!

You called me despicable? I think this happens a lot. I saw a lot of young adult or middle-aged men who are sticking to those middle-school or high-school babes until those girls are mature and legal enough. And after that, they went further and got engaged.

I'm irritated' date=' but it's not because of the hot weather....

I guess that you are trying to imply it is me.

You are confused by my words. I mean to get a girl who is under 15, and stick with her until the moment which is legal for us to go further.

Seriously, I don't like my tea with lemon.

I don't know. In my opinion, first love seems very special. Once I am used, I won't mind what kinds of girls my future gfs are.

But I guess the most troublesome part is still with that pronouns.

Although in Chinese we rarely put adjective in front of I, you, etc., it still make sense.

I am just trying to make speaking English limitedlessly.

Just to be fair' date=' what would you do to repay the favor?

 

And what the hell does it matter if you really love her? Are you saying that if you fell madly in love with a girl and later learned that she took a few tumbles betwen the sheets with a canoodling partner, that she wouldn't be worth loving anymore?[/quote']

Well, if I have had gf, I won't mind that. But to be my first love, it means a lot. What will I repay to her? I will show her all my love passion to her to let her know I love her.

actually' date=' your right: proper nouns can take adjectives infront of them, just not always.

 

its stupid Bush who is doing this <--correct

 

its stupid Bush being stupid <--correct, but there is no need to refer to Bushes stupidity twice in one centance.

 

although not all adjectives would work:

 

its big Bush being stupid

 

would, i think, be wrong.

 

actually, i dunno. im confused now.[/quote']

So if we add an adjective in front of a name, that makes it an sentence already.

Terrible Bush does not know <---wrong. Right???

And also that if we are using a name of someone else behind an adjective, then it's go like this:

Bush being stupid.

Sick Bush being stupid.

And its full contexts is:

It is stupid Bush who is being stupid.

I have another idea. Can we say this:

It's angry who is you will not let me in

↓↓↓

Angry you will not let me in.

It makes sense, is it?

Just trying to make some logical connection between English and Chinese.

adjectives can only come after pronouns:

 

you are strong; he is good <-- both correct

 

strong you; good he <-- both incorrect.

 

 

adjectives can come before or after nouns:

 

the apple is red; the red apple <-- both correct.

 

proper nouns (nouns that take capital letters' date=' eg peoples names, plases names) interact with adjectives in the same way in which pronouns do, ie adjectives come after:

 

Dak is big; England is big <-- both correct

 

big Dak; big England <-- both incorrect[/quote']

So you cannot put adjectives in front of name, too??

But why did someone say I was correct which is when I used "Terrible Bush" as the beggining sentence?

Also that we can use "which" to combine two sentences together. Can we use "which is" to comebine, too?

Like: He is so good at swimming which is in which he is a leader of swim-team?
