This topic has dead for a long time. By the way, I want to know whether this sentence correct or not:

Teachers are not one who has no mistake. If it is wrong, how should I correct it if I just want to change the front part of the sentence?

Thank you

I always confuse, after "never" and haven't should i use past or present?

eg1: I never told you, or i never tell you.
eg2: I haven't told him, i haven't tell him.

To me, i always insist on saying using past tense, it just that it is so common to see people use present tense during speaking.

@DavidWKW

Teachers are not one who has no mistake.

"Teachers are not one who have no mistake" Subject is plural, so keep it with plural.

i.e He has two pencils.

Eg1: "I have never told you." is the correct sentence. Take a look at tehtmc's explanation for better understanding.
Eg2: "I haven't told him." is correct. After have, past participle tense is used. ^^
So we just have to ignore the word one? Thank you

Hi everyone. Are these sentences correct grammatically?

Just as a book can be written on any subject, a game can teach us about anything too.

They learn this by exploring many of the strategies and paths one can take in the game, from clean and successful to dirty and tawdry.

Thanks

Does '' Frog under a coconut shell '' this idiom even exist ? Can it be used ?

Asking questions about grammar but using a word like tawdry?

Hey guys..

Can someone tell me the difference between

- She has finished her homework.
- She had finished her homework.

Thanks.

Look up present perfect tense and past perfect tense.

Anyone ?

the english equivalent is 'frog in a well'..........

Hi, as far as i know.
UK has lots and lots of accent, people over there even can use the accent to know from which area of UK you came from.
*Please do correction on my grammer as i am a kinda weak in English language.
GOOD DAY!

There is one sure-fire way to be good in the English Language.

Read, speak, think, and dream in the English Language.

Do all of these, and you will be good in no time.

Otherwise, what you're merely doing is TRANSLATING words and phrases from your own mother tongue to the English Language, which can be counter-productive because it exempts you from the real English usage and phrases of the English-speaking world.

Additionally, watch this video:

Roger that , Great video

But, the guy has some grammatical errors in his speaking ..

Buy for me a pencil.

OR

Buy me a pencil.

Which is grammatically correct??

Don't be such a grammar nazi. People make mistakes. And more importantly, there is a clear distinction of who should learn to speak, and to learn how to speak perfectly, where the latter is impossible because grammar nazis do not believe in mistakes.

Can someone tell me how to pronounce eight? the number 8. i have trouble to pronounce this word actually though after being corrected many times

my friend said it sounded like egg

during school day, teacher said you pronounce ate = eight.

so is correct if i say ate instead?

He should be a role model though .. since he's teaching that phrases do help in grammar

Buy me a pencil obviously.

Buy for me a pencil = Buy a pencil for me = Buy something for me. - nothing wrong with this sentence either.
