Hi. I'm new member of UsingEnglish too. Nice to meet you, wendong.

 

[wendong]

thanks for your kindness, tdol.
i'll feel more confident in learning English with your helps.
i have a question of sentence sequence to ask:
i think the sentence sequence should be ordinal in the object clause, just like " i don't know what your name is." but i have seen an article with a sentence of " can you tell me what's your name?" i wonder whether it should be " can you tell me what your name is?"
thanks.

"Can you tell me what your name is?" would definitely be the ordinary way of saying that.

I agree with Ron. Also, I would say 'help' not'helps'. :lol:

 

[wendong]

thank you, RonBee and tdol, so kind you are!
sorry for another question to trouble you, i have read a sentence in a magazine, "brand is to a company what identity is to an individual-who you are, what you believe and who you want to become.". i can understand the meaning of this sentence, but i feel somewhat queer about it. does the sentence have any fault? should it be "brand to a company is like what identity to an individual-..."? or other methods to express the meaning?
thanks.

What do you think the sentence means?

hi, RonBee, thanks for your quick response.
the title of the article including this sentence is "building the brand vision". i think the sentence is just emphasizing the importance of brand to a company, and it's just like the identity to an individual, both of them describe the same kinds of properties.
is my understanding of this sentence right? thanks.

I am a medical student from Kumming, China. It is my hope that we can all improve our English together. Good luck to all of you!

May I ask a couple of questions? Where in China is Kumming? (Hm. That's two questions already. ;-) )

I think you will find it interesting to know that there are several Chinese who are regular posters on this board. In fact, there are more Chinese posters here than there are Americans. (I am usually the sole American poster, altho MNY and Will drop by every once in a while.)

Welcome aboard! :hi:

kunming is really a beautiful city, a lot of friends of mine who had gone there gave high praise to the city and ppl there, i am going to have a tour to kunming in the next may 1st, but it depends.
