I would like to ask about above sentence.

Is to confuse here: [FONT=&quot]to disturb in mind or purpose

Thank you.

It means you're still not clear on that point. You don't understand it.

 

[hhtt21]

Thank you but I think this situation can be just the same explained by verb to puzzle. Do you agree?

 

[Tdol]

It means you're still not clear on that point. You don't understand it.

Or You haven't got/grasped the idea.

 

[hhtt21]

Or You haven't got/grasped the idea.

Can we say does got the idea=graped the idea=understood the idea?

Thank you.

Can we say [STRIKE]does[/STRIKE] got the idea=grasped the idea=understood the idea?

Thank you.

Yes, but see corrections.

Yes, get/grasp mean this in this context.

 

[hhtt21]

No. Being confused often has the suggestion that you are mixing up two or more ideas. Being puzzled is more open.

Would you please explain the difference in question in a more detailed way, also upon examples? "Being puzzled is more open" does not make sense to me.

Thank you.

 

[teechar]

Piscean meant that puzzled has a broader sense than confused. The use of puzzled implies you have absolutely no idea how some situation came about.

Can I say "I don't confuse now, because I know how to do it"?

 

[Rover_KE]

No.

'I'm not confused now, because I know how to do it.'

It's interesting that you used the correct construction in your title "You're still confused", which shows that you know it's the verb "to be" followed by the adjective "confused" but didn't follow the same logical construction in your sentence starting with "I".

Edit: Apologies, I thought Polyester was the OP. Teechar pointed out it was hhtt21. Sorry, Polyester. However, the main point remains valid - the construction in the title is correct; the construction in post #11 is not.

It might be an offer for an alternative use.

Thank you.

It might have been a lot of things but it's certainly one thing - grammatically incorrect.

 

[Tdol]

No.

'I'm not confused now, because I know how to do it.'

You could also use any longer instead of no.
