FAQ

What is the difference between "get" and "get up"?

"Get" can mean to obtain, receive, or become, while "get up" specifically refers to rising from bed or a seated position.

How do I avoid confusing "lend" and "borrow"?

Think of "lend" as giving temporarily and "borrow" as taking temporarily. For example, "I lend to you, and you borrow from me."

When should I use "raise" instead of "rise"?

Use "raise" when there’s a direct object (e.g., "She raised her hand"). Use "rise" when there’s no direct object (e.g., "The sun rises").

How can I form adverbs of manner?

Many adverbs of manner are formed by adding "-ly" to an adjective (e.g., quick → quickly, careful → carefully). However, some adverbs, like "fast," do not follow this pattern.

Are adverbs of manner always placed after the verb?

Adverbs of manner are typically placed after the verb or verb phrase (e.g., "She runs quickly"). However, for emphasis, they can sometimes come at the beginning of a sentence (e.g., "Quickly, she finished her task").
