Hello teachers,
I hope you're fine. Here I come with a few questions:
1) I don't feel well since my brother left/ I haven't felt/ I haven't been feeling well since he left
(are the 3 of them acceptable? What's the difference?)
2) Being little isn't that bad!
- Yes, it is!
- it' not!
- Is too!
(what exactly is the meaning of this last one?)
3) Dan is tired, he's been working all day/ he's worked all day.
(rather continuous form? why?)
4) Can we 'when I last saw her' by 'the last time I saw her' and 'Last time I saw her'?
5) I was rude to my brother and I regret/I'm regretting
(simple or continuous form?)
Thanks in advance!![]()
And another expression, I suppose American:
"to work over the kinks"
Thanks again!
The first is wrong. The other two are fine. 'Been feeling' puts more emphasis on how you feel now as well.1) I don't feel well since my brother left/ I haven't felt/ I haven't been feeling well since he left
(are the 3 of them acceptable? What's the difference?)
A collaquial way of csntradicting someone2) Being little isn't that bad!
- Yes, it is!
- it's not!
- Is too!
(what exactly is the meaning of this last one?)
For emphasis3) Dan is tired, he's been working all day/ he's worked all day.
(rather continuous form? why?)
We can, though you've missed 'replace', and I'd use 'with'4) Can we 'when I last saw her' by 'the last time I saw her' and 'Last time I saw her'?
Simple, and say 'regret it'.5) I was rude to my brother and I regret/I'm regretting
(simple or continuous form?)
