Noun: feel V.S. feeling

[RonBee]

A: You look beautiful!
B: I'm glad to hear this/that/it.

I heared people said "that". The utterance of A is somewhat close to B in space and time.

The most natural response:

• I am glad to hear that.

The word that in that sentence refers, of course, to the comment made by the other person.

(Say: "I have heard people say that.")

:)

Thanks, Ron.

You're welcome. :D

"Distance in space and time" has to do with the speaker and nothing else. Example:

• She said I was wrong. I disagreed with that.

The "that" refers to the disagreement, which took place in the past.

I am TERRIBLY SORRY to use "good riddance" in a wrong way. It is the Casiopea I least want to get rid of.

<sending you a rose @>--- as my apology>

No problem at all. :) Mistakes are gifts. :D

All the best,

Cute rose.
