I've been learning how to play the guiter since I was 10 years old.
I started learning how to play the guiter when I was 10 years old.
Do these sound OK to you?
3)this sound very very silly...
but one of my friends was wondering and asked me to
ask you guys for a help!
Her question was...
"how Do you call a "tissue" properly?"
She means
There usually are 2 pieces of very thin tissue paper, making a pair... I mean the regular tissue paper!...do you know what I mean? I am sorry I don't know how to explain this...
We learnt stuff like these...
a piece of paper
a pair of shoes
What about the tissue!?
Do you call it "a piece of tissue paper"?
or they are always come in 2 pieces actually, so
should we say a pair of 2 pieces of tissue paper?
I usually say "Can I have a tissue?" but she says it's not right.
I know this is very silly, but please help her (actually help ME! cos she keeps asking me if I get the answer)
Please leave your question about Japanese too,
I would like to help too
Have a good weekend

Hello!
1) 'I will answer your questions.' This is right.
2) 'I've been learning how to play the
guitar since I was 10 years old.' This is right, though it is 'guitar' and not 'guiter.'
3) 'Can I have a tissue
please?' is right if you only want 1 tissue (remember to say please though!).
If you want more than that, you could say, 'Can I have some tissues please?'
If you want a specific number of tissues, you would say, 'Can I have
2 tissues please?' You can change the number to any other number.
(By the way, most people just say 'Can I have a tissue please?' and they know that you mean two tissues together, because that is counted as a whole usually. They do not mind how many layers one tissue has, if that makes sense.)
Hope that helps you! ^_^
