It is sunny but very windy and so it feels cold when you are outside but really springy when you are inside Temperature is above 10 degrees (Celcius) which is quite a lot… like in summer-fest…but it feels like autumn with this cold wind… birds are singing… and really a nice weather…
because you said somewhere that you need to practice your English… and just out of curiosity I asked
Brrrrrr then it is not a country for me. I like it the most when it is about 24 degrees celcius you know. In September we always go to one of the Greece islands and we both love it there.
So you were just curious. That’s okay with me. I see now that I said something in Dutch earlier on today, hahaha. Stupid, no one will understand it I am afraind. It wasn’t interesting so I leave it.
I am well, thank you. Sorry to hear about that cramp in your hand. I hope it passes soon. Thank you for giving me a lesson in Dutch. It was my first one ever.
No, I haven´t been very busy today. I did defrost my freezer this morning, though. How ´rock and roll´ is that?
Yes, we do sometimes. The first example could be used when the person intends to go to the cinema at some later point [“he’s planning to go to the cinema tomorrow”]. The second example could be used when it’s happening now [“he’s on his way to the cinema”].
@alanh
Lucky me. We bought a new freezer and it is a no frost one. Absolutely great. Do you want some more Dutch now and then?
(P.S. I don’t get an email when you respons here. Isn’t that odd?)
I am afraid that I don’t know any Dutch at all. I ‘cheated’ and used a translation tool to read your message this morning.
You should have got an email for the posts where I ‘tagged’ your username with the “@” symbol but not for those where I didn’t. So you wouldn’t have got one for Post Nos 18 or 23.
You could open a new topic for your chats in Dutch with Hydroptere (and anyone else who joins that discussion)… or this one could become a little confusing.
@alanh Aha now it’s clear to me. At first I couldn’t find where I had to change my setting, but I managed.
Hydroptere has written me from another topic, so she will not anwer here. Have a nice day and who knows we might have a chat later again.
That’s a good question and one that’s not so easy to answer because those two words can often be interchangeable.
“Each” means “every one, individually” or refers to a single object or person.
“Every” means “every one, as a whole” or refers to a group of objects or people.
Also, you use “each” when there are only two objects in question. So, for example, you would say “she wore jewellery on each hand” but you would not say “she wore jewellery on every hand”.
When there are more than two objects or people in question, “each” and “every” can be interchangeable. So, it would be ok to say either “he received each item on his wish-list” or “he received every item on his wish-list”.
There are probably some other variations and exceptions but, hopefully, the basic rules I have described above will help.
You’re a good explainer. My gosh there so many things I cann’t even explain about my native language. I’m very happy with your help.
Have a nice evening! Till tomorrow.
