English Thread

In this thread, we attempt to learn to read, write, and speak English, a language which would be very useful to know. It is widely spoken throughout the world.

Do you speak English? Are you fluent? What resources did you use to learn? Can you give some examples in this thread? Posts some useful links.

Let's help each other out and learn a new language.

Both a and the could be used, but they portray different ideas.

>>188
>Something or you have (?) disabled javascript
This is the second person plural in the present perfect tense, use have. has is used to describe third person singular, he/she/it has disabled javascript.
What is confusing here, is that "something" is an it, i.e.: something has disabled javascript, this urges you to say has. but, to the computer, "something or you" is second person plural, and in this case you use have.

>Also what article did I have to use before 'sentence' in the previous question and before 'previous' in this question?
You would use an indefinite article (the) before "sentence," definite article (a or an) before "previous."

A refers to a general thing, like "a sentence like that," while the refers to a specific thing, like "the previous sentence."
