Everybody, of course! I`m not sure whether or to what degree we´ve been talking at cross purposes. It might be due to their occupation that the pedagogues within the guild of teachers tend to be exposed to the risk of being bad learners as they seem to know(-)all**.
#Hopefully you feel better soon free
Well, that´s what forums have been established for – a free exchange of different positions to learn from each other. How can you regard coming back to your proposition as “catching out” people? On that condition I`d rather do without your advice. Moreover, it is a token of magnanimity to bear challenging views. Wouldn`t it be enriching to learn about them? Or are you resistant to other people`s points of view? On the contrary, I deem it a unique chance for oneself to broaden one`s limited mind. But you should also allow for second or third questions on the same issue if your reply hasn´t turned out to be final or consistent, if it raises further questions, or if there are authors who take different positions.
You have always been ready to make your competence as a native speaker accessible. I also got the impression that you felt attacked with nobody attacking you. But you may also take it from me that I preferred sometimes not to reply anymore because I tried not to irritate you as I had felt a snappish and peevish overtone*. And if indeed I did annoy you unwittingly, or, at least, if you felt I did, I assure you that I`m sorry. I don´t think I have given you any reason, on the contrary, I have always treated you respectfully and decently. Still, I cannot understand why you are up in arms. In face of that I`d like to express my gratefulness again for the time you have taken to answer my queries. To cut a long story short, I respect your decision not to return to my threads. Something else baffles me: If the verb hope rules out a future tense, how then can the present progressive (feeling better soon) have a future meaning? But the adverb soon seems to be indicative of it.Ĭan you bring clarification into the matter? I hope you do feel better soon? (If it is idiomatic, at all.) Is the present progressive a more emphatic expression of that hope? What about this form then: I hope you are feeling better soon / you feel better soon. So, if I have got that right, it is due to the verb hope that a present tense is obligatory here.īut what would be the difference between the two versions: I am seeing him tonight when we are playing tennis. Or is there something like a double arrangement, e.g.: I´m not sure but doesn´t the arrangement-meaning take effect only in main sentences, just like: I am playing tennis tonight. two: Couldn´t it be that the reason why we don´t have an arrangement here is that the present progressive is used in a temporal clause. Thanks! I´d like to go briefly into some of the points.Īs to your first example: As far as scheduled actions are concerned, wouldn´t the present simple be more appropriate here? What is the difference between the simple and the progressive form in that context?Īs to No.
