universal wrote:Your sentence does not work with the translator.
For great results, you write:

"Tonight's cast is my favourite" work's or "The cast of tonight's show is my favourite"
Basically they can be both used in a sentence that's ok

Is this a shorthand write or we must put apostrophes?Confused

"Work's" doesn't work, though. Smile
It's the verb, no apostrophe needed.

Cause of the difference using "Du" or "Sie" in German there are rumors Helmut Kohl once said to Ronald Reagan "You can say you to me" Big Grin

If you want it perfect yes apostrophes but both read exactly the same, some words need apostrophes but i'm a lazy writer so don't use them as often as i should Confused

But if your translator adds them use them Thumb up

This certainly a great idea to start a thread and it reflects the good intention between a group of people to cooperate and to help each other without waiting the return

From my side I don't mind at all to have my posts to be quoted and grammatically corrected

But to be more realistic ......Does anyone of us has the time and the " head " to follow up the other members' posts and try to show them their grammatical errors .....Just a question

Guys if this thread works pretty good (which I stongly doubt ) I will start to feel again that ....We really live in such a wonderful world .....in which the people still have the real intention to come together to cooperate and to help each other in order to achieve a certain aim ...

And not in that other place in which everybody gives his back to his brother claiming that he has enough challenges and responsibilities and he even don't has the time to listen .

So , in which place we are living ...that's what this thread will show you brothers .


I tend to believe in humanity and good will of humans to each other.
If there are people who have neither the head nor the desire to correct the mistakes of others, it does not matter, but if you take the time to answer in a forum on the quality of the show, Formula 1, music or other subjects, we also have from time to time a moment to correct a text, explain a grammatical rule to help a brother.Thumb upSmile

Hi guys Smile

I'm sure that daz dreams of removing this thread and banning definitely universal...Big GrinBig Grin
...just a joke, but the launching of this thread (i approve it) gives more work to daz and he didn't need it, i think...Big GrinBig Grin
If i can help...before to launch a post, i copy the litigious part(s) into Google (search engine)...if some equal formulations exist, perfect...if not, you will find some other forms or ideas to improve your text Cool

A torrid night to the readers Cool

Thank you for your answer.

Grammatically, both are correct.

However, 99% of English speakers would say "Tonight's cast" :-) .

Also, "my (liked) cast" doesn't make much sense, although it's clear what you meant. A more appropriate form would be "I like tonight's cast", or, slightly pleonastic (saying the same thing twice), "Tonight's cast, I like it".

btw in the sentence which started this thread: "the forum is flooding with guys who complete lost her minds in digital sex stuff." which was corrected from "her" to "their", of course it should be "the forum is being flooded with guys who have completely lost their minds................"

Re: English lessons - Can You Please Help Me

Having created this thread was a great idea.Thumb up I am Italian and I am certainly
one of the most loyal customers of this thread, because my English is not the best.
I use the Google translator, but since the composition of the sentence is very different in Italian
and in English language, sometimes the translator is wrong, I think especially my fault.Confused

Surely our friends who speak the English language will give us a great help.Thumb up

Good luck to this thread.SmileThumb up

Good day at all.SmileThumb up
