| I've got some simple questions, which confused me, though. Well, here are they: Which are correct, when it's happening at the time of speaking? #1. Someone is ringing the bell.Or Someone rings the bell. A: Did you hear someone ringing the bellor do you hear someone ringing the bell? B: Sure, I heard or I hear. A:Will you go to open the door or do you go to open the door? B: I'll go or I go. #2. We'll go now or we go now. Someone is telling you to do something which is difficult for you, then you'll say or you say; I'll try or I try. Thank you very much for helping me. P:S ( Can I also say : Thank you very much for your helping me ) |

I put a happy face :D beside the sentence that are OK, and I put a sad face :( beside the sentences that are not OK. 1. Someone is ringing the bell. :D 2. Someone rings the bell. :( 3. Did you hear someone ringing the bell? :( 4. Do you hear someone ringing the bell? :D 5. Sure, I heard. :( 6. Sure, I hear it. :D 7. Will you go to open the door? :( Will you go and open the door? 8. Do you go to open the door? :( Would you go and open the door? The difference between Will you go and Would you go has to do with the speaker's feelings: Will you is a kind of a command, and Would you is a polite request. 9. I'll go. :D Also, "I am going." 10. I go. :( 11. We'll go now. :( We'll be going now. / We are going now. 12. We go now. :( 13. I'll try. :D 14. I try. :( All the best, |
