i want to know how to make sentence using a above words. give me an example sentence
somebody told me that it is not appropriate to use the word "inconveniency" but when I checked in the internet there are many people who use this word in their sentence or paragragh. Any help?
like in the case of this sentence:
"Also, please take note that you have to inform me beforehand if you want to use/reserve the two (2) conference rooms to avoid any inconveniency to all."
We frequently use the word 'deny' and 'refuse' to mean the same thing. Do they carry same meaning!
When we said: "Why do you tell me that? there's nothing related to me." or "There's nothing relevant to me?"
What is the different and when should we use "related to" and "relevant"?
Hi, dear friends!
Studing Make Collocation i understand that the meaning of these two combination of words is not the same. The first one is connected to the state of disoderliness and the second one means any damage. For the second case i know that there is an idiom. But i don't understand has "make a mess of" its idiomatic meaning right along? If yes, then is "of" any sign of this idiom? Or may be, as usual there is a lot of exceptions and contexts in any language. Could anybody explain me? Thanks. Tatyana
I read the phrase ' hotting up' in Pakistan's prestigious newspaper, 'Dawn' the other day. Can we use hot as a verb instead of heat.
