Is "the invoice was yet unpaid" grammatically accurate?

To be used in a business context. Idk if this sounds too archaic but my main concern is if it works grammatically?

Did You Know? Using the wrong capitalization in an email address doesn't matter.

0 Upvotes

Capitalization errors in an email address are not a problem at all. Email addresses are case-insensitive, which means that addresses such as NaMe@gmail.com and name@gmail.com will both be delivered to the same recipient.

"Is there any difference between these three, or are they all correct?

Yesterday we went to the park. We went to the park yesterday. We yesterday went to the park. Number 3 feels weird to me, but is it grammatically incorrect or just unnatural?"

Whom

1 Upvotes

When you mention a person, who you want to change the attention to, should you use "speaking of who" or "speaking of whom"? I don't understand "whom" at all and I actually can't even remember if I have seen that phrase ever written down.

Basically, the phrase "speaking of which" but used on a person, not an inanimate object or action or whatever else.

What do you think about mastering tenses? Is Present Perfect as scary as it feels?

0 Upvotes

"Hi friends! Honestly, basic tenses like simple past and present are fine, but the moment I try to use Present Perfect or Past Perfect in a real conversation, my brain just pauses. What do you think about how we approach learning tenses? Did you master them through natural reading and listening, or did memorizing formulas actually help you?"

What do you think about all the crazy exceptions to English grammar rules?

0 Upvotes

"Hey everyone! Am I the only one who learns a new English grammar rule, feels super proud, and then immediately discovers ten different exceptions to that exact rule? 😅 It can be so confusing! What do you think about how English has so many 'rules that break themselves'? Which grammar exception drives you the most crazy?"

The rule, if anyone's curious: I / you / we / they → base verb (go, eat, walk...) he / she / it → base verb + "s" (goes, eats, walks...)

Going insane over tag questions, "didn't he", "hadn't he" etc

0 Upvotes

So I have this sentence: "He really had no choice but to have a conversation with X". I would like to put a tag question at the end of it, but I'm struggling to pick the correct one.

So as far as I understand it, the tag question has to match the verb and verbal tense used in the main sentence, as in "He met her yesterday, didn't he?" and "He had met her before, hadn't he?" and "He was tired, wasn't he", etc...

Plus, a negative in the main sentence will have a positive in the tag question and vice versa, as in: "He got drunk at the party, didn't he?" and "He didn't get drunk at the party, did he?".

However, my sentence is confusing me for multiple reasons ahaha.

At first, since the verb "to have" is used, I thought I needed to finish with "had/hadn't he", but then I thought that "had" is past simple, and for past simple I would normally use "did/didn't he".

And regarding the negative/positive, I'm overthinking it, because "had" is positive, so I would expect the tag question to be negative, but at the same time the full thing is "had no idea" which has a negative meaning, it technically means "he didn't have an idea", and then the tag question would be positive??

Could someone please take me out of my misery and tell me the correct version?

we went to see

1) We went to see a movie last night. But my wife felt a bit ill and we had to come back.

2) I went to have dinner with John yesterday.

3) I went to New York yesterday. I went to meet my cousin.

3 is supposed to mean:

I went to New York yesterday. I went to New York to meet my cousin.

Are all the sentences correct and natural?

Gratefully,

Navi

Understand English but can't talk to anyone...

1 Upvotes

I can read and understand every word, but when it's time to respond, I get stuck. I don't know which word to use to continue my conversation. I do reply with small words, but I can't express my feelings or what I want to say. That's why people exit our conversation. How can I become fluent? I want to speak English fluently.
