Learn the Difference

The differences between the Present Perfect Simple and Present Perfect Continuous Tenses...👇👇👇 (1) I have been playing tennis for five years. The tense is the Present Perfect Continuous Tense. The time phrase indicates the duration (five years). The combination of the tense and the time phrase forces us to read it as: "I have been playing tennis for five years now." This gives us the reading that the activity has been going on for five years up until now. It also implies that the activity is likely to keep continuing, at least in the immediate future. (2) I have played tennis for five years. The tense is the Present Perfect Simple. The time phrase is, again, "for five years". However, the sentence is different from (1). It doesn't force us to read the time part as "for five years up to now".  It's unclear exactly when exactly in the past  the speaker has played tennis. All we know is that it happened before now, at least five years but before no...

Up is up...

One word in the English language that could be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep is *UP*.Read until the end... you'll laugh.

It's easy to understand *UP*, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake *UP*? At a meeting, why does a topic come *UP*? Why do we speak *UP*, and why are the officers *UP* for election (if there is a tie, it is a toss *UP*) and why is it *UP* to the secretary to write *UP* a report?

Use of "let"

I have a very nice and clear example that resolves this controversy.. *Read it carefully and try to understand... 👇👇👇* John and Mary have been at a party for several hours. It is getting late, and Mary would like to leave. Mary says to John: Let us go now. If she wants to add a tag question, she would say: Let us go now, shall we? In Mary's use, the subject of the verb "let" is an understood "we": we should allow ourselves to go, and we should leave the party now. When you use "let" this way, with "we" as the understood subject, you may also contract the "let us" to "let's". The next day, Mary and John are in a shop. They are not interested in any of the merchandise, and want to leave, but the shopkeeper is determined to make a sale. The shopkeeper stands in their way, blocking the exit, and continues to try to show them different items. Mary is annoyed, and she says to the shopkeeper Let us go now! I...

1000=K why ?

Q.1 ) Why is 1000 written as                  1k? *Answer.* We all use the Letter “K” when it comes to writing a number in thousands, like 1000 means 1K, 10000 means 10K and the list goes on. Actually, in our mind letter “K” stands for a thousand but most of us or we can say that all of us don’t know why does it stand for a thousand. Well, the origin of it was from Greece, there is a word “Chilioi” in Greek which means thousand. So, Greeks often used the word “Chilioi” in place of a thousand as well as the denominations above it. Later, French took the same Greek Word “Chilioi” and shortened it to “Kilo“. Later on, new words like Kilogram, Kiloliter, Kilotonne etc came into existence to measure 1000. Soon enough, the whole world started using these words and further shortened it to just the Letter “K” to refer thousand. Till now, we all use the same words and letter K as an abbreviation for thousand.
