  • hello Mr Andrew I have a query regarding these type of sentences how long have you been thinking about doing this? or how long has David been thinking about quitting his job? i learned in your present simple tense class that the verb think is a stative verb which can't be used with continuous tense. now how to express this perticular talk or emotion ? in my country teacher's are teaching and people are talking frequently this kind of sentence structures everywhere 😏 regards🥰

    @freefromcage5516@freefromcage55165 ай бұрын
    • "thinking about doing something" is different to "think". "thinking about doing something" means consider doing something. You are making a decision. That use can have an continuous form. considering something or thinking about doing something is in fact an action. Therefore it has a continuous form. You can say "I am thinking about going to London." for example. To further answer your question: "to think" has 2 meanings in English: 1) = "to believe" Example: "I think that David Beckham was a good footballer." (correct) This meaning of think does *not* have a continuous form. We do NOT say "I am thinking that David Beckham is a good footballer." (wrong) 2) = "to imagine" Example: "I'm thinking about my parents." (correct) and "I think about chocolate every day." (correct) This meaning has both a simple form and continuous form. Andrew

  • Sir Bills of exchange must be protested for dishonour Here what is the meaning of "for" in this context?

    @dileepkumarreddy1235@dileepkumarreddy12355 ай бұрын
    • In that context, "for" is giving the reason of something. Here is a simpler example: Mark was arrested for murder. = Mark was arrested. Why? Because he had committed murder. Another example: The teacher punished me *for* talking in class. "for" gives the reason of the punishment. Why did the teacher punish me? Because I was talking in class. In your example, it is legal language. "for dishonour" gives the reason *why* you must protest. You must protest the bill of exchange. Why? Because it was *not* honoured. Dishonoured in this context means that you were not paid. Andrew
