English help
 

like the sentence "I am new here"

A:she's a new nurse here.
B:she's a nurse new here.
WHICH one is correct? Are both right?

Thank you.

"A" is correct.:)

Adjectives (new) always go before the noun (nurse).


Red car

Rainy day

Sandy beach

Striped necktie

Nice-assed hottie :D (in this case, hottie comes from the adjective 'hot' but it's a noun in this sentence, and nice-assed is the adjective that qualifies it)

A is correct.

The new nurse here.
She is the new nurse here.
He is the new nurse here.

It is ok to have 'here' in the sentence, but, generally, it is not necessary.
For example: "She is the new nurse."

Jaydelart is the new smarty-pants here.

Or you can twist it around and say: The new smarty pants here is Jaydelart.

:mtongue:

I hate my english class..but yes...that's right. Sometime's I wish English wasn't so complicated...I'm taking spanish III and it's driving me crazy...

english is damn simple ._.

u know that once you had latin

for me german easy cuz its my language but it is really hard..

those are examples for hard languages ...

I agree...sry about complaining..:whiteflag:

English may seem easy to you, but since I am an editor I see just how difficult it is for even those who speak no other language but English.

I have found that learning French changed my sentence structure in English. Noun and verb placement seems more natural in the romance languages to me for some inexplicable reason. You would think having learned the "King's(Queen's) English" and then American English before French that my grammar would have been solid 17 years later.

Actually, English is one of the hardest languages to learn.

so true. eventhough my language have almost the same grammar i still get problems constructing my sentences and english words.
they got lots of words with almost the same meaning
idiot moron imbecile stupid etc... :D

I wouldn't say English itself is hard....it's just the stuff that teachers add to it.

What do they add that is not essential to learing it?

most of of the stuff that we don't think about when we speak it...like prepostions, different kinds of phrases, nouns...etc...

I like English but...
 

firstly thank you all for give me the right answer to my question. I appriciated them a lot.
sometimes i am really not sure if i have said the right sentence. but actually i am not worried about my english since i can make fluent communication in english.
by the way, i am studying english lingusitics. it's very interesting, although i got a lot of questions...

also i want to find some friends who could be my penpal. both japanese and english are okay.

よろしく、お願いします　＾＿＾

I could be your penpal. PM me?

can someone help me with this? This is for homework in Japan:

the clouds / disappear
Positive:
Negative:
Question:

ありがとうございます!！

I'd try to help... But I'm not sure how to.

Just some sentences would be fine ^^

I am not quite certain what you are supposed to do with the information. If its to make a statement of each of those types with the words given, here's mine with the same noun, verb and modifiers in each:

Postive: The clouds will disappear.
Negative: The clouds will not disappear.
Question: Will the clouds disappear?

That's what I meant, what Tal just said.

ありがとう!！！！!

That what I need!

:vsign:

Hiroki

I don't suppose you'd be willing to teach me?

If you want me to be a pin pal you can PM me....
