Hallo, here are the sentences. What I don't understand is included in double quotes.So you will find here a million of double quotes...
1)"The way forward"
2)"There's no way" "Ford are" going to restructure themselves "along those lines".
Why do you use "are" and not "is" with Ford?
3)"Hello there!"
Is it a short form to say "Hallo to everyone who is listening for example to the radio program?"
4)Is that viable "though"?
Why "though" is added?
4)The traffic "passing me " as I drive to work...
Very hard for me to understand what these "unidentified objects" represent!
Exchange buildings
"Remote exchanges" or "cabinets" (including "Case Repeater Equipment")
"Subscribed premises"
"manholes", "poles"
"environmentally controlled remote shelter"
"sheltered or below deck conditions on surface ship which travel smootly"
The goalkeeper saved the penalty
means that who beated the penalty wasn't able to kick the goal?
And what about Susan grabbed the jacket
?
Thank you

1) "I suggest you get out..."
Is it wrong to write "I suggest to you to get out..."?
2)What's the detailed meaning of "To make your way down the street"?
3)"It is different to the next"
I would have used "different from the next". Is it "different from" right or wrong?
4)What's the meaning of "Don't just take my word for it"?Does it mean "Try yourself"?
Thanks
EL
Hi guys,
I am a Thai, but I've been studying British English a lots. There is some tips on the accent that I found on an website. And I hope this tip can help you understand how to speak whit a British accent as I do.
OK - first thing is 'r'. Don't pronounce 'r' unless its at the beginning of a word or between vowels. So 'bird', 'word', 'part' etc have no 'r' sound.
Secondly - short 'o' in words like 'box', 'top' etc is different. You have to cut it short and round your lips.

It' s not so clear to me the meaning of this sentence:
Mistletoe is hung overhead "for people to kiss beneath"
Besides I don't know what is a Mince pie.
What's the meaning of "Thanks for giving me a ride"?
I often have problems to pronounce correctly adverbs, nouns and adjectives.
The most frequent problem is where to put the accent (which vowel is to be stressed).
My dictionary has a tool which plays the pronounciation of the words but it's difficult for me to remember everything and it's difficult to reset bad pronunciations.
Let's make some examples:
acronym (I put the accent on o :Error and horror!)
exclusive
defective
defects
I systematically forget the correct pronunciation (accent) and wrong the pronunciation.
