2016年1月7日 · So the subject pronoun "he" follows the verb "to be" as follows: It is he. This is she speaking. It is we who are responsible for the decision to downsize. It was he who messed up everything. Also, when the word "who" is present and refers to a personal pronoun, such as "he," it takes the verb that agrees with that pronoun. Correct: It is I who ...

2012年2月23日 · He's angry. He's been angry. But the third one is incorrect. You cannot shorten "he has a house" to "he's a house." You can only shorten "he has got a house" to "he's got a house." [Again, note what @Optimal Cynic claims] More examples: Correct: I have an apple. Correct: I have got an apple. Correct: I've got an apple. Incorrect: I've an apple.

2011年6月19日 · Further discussion including specific arguments against 'purportedly sex-neutral he' and 'she' is found on pp. 491-495, noting they are often systematically avoided for good reasons, and marking them with the % sign ('grammatical in some dialect(s) only').

2019年8月28日 · The he said/he says examples are obvious. One is present; one is past. The present continuous can be used with a simple past tense. He said we have a good chance of winning the game. He said it in the past, but the game has not yet been played. If the game had been played, he would have said: He said we had a good chance of winning the game.

He doesn't eat meat. He don't eat meat. And remove the contraction: He does not eat meat. He do not eat meat. Now we can see very clearly that the latter is grammatically incorrect. Whether you should use doesn't or don't depends on whether the subject is singular or plural: He doesn't speak French. They don't speak French.

The bracketed element is a subordinate interrogative clause (indirect question). Unlike main clause interrogatives, there is normally no inversion in subordinate interrogatives.

As very good looking as he is, he doesn't even have to try to impress me. In this example he is required. It is not an as is situation since you are just describing the person.. Things are good as they are. Things are good as is. In these examples, they are refers back to "things". This is also not an as is situation.

Yes, I know where he is. The natural subject-predicate order is inverted in special questions (those beginning with an interrogative pronoun such as what, where, etc), but not in object clauses.

"He said, she said" has a sense that not only does an interaction look different from the two sides, but of an imbroglio. There are a couple of moments I can think of that are "he said, she said" in the sense of two different experienced incidents for the two sides, but not in the sense of a nasty conflict where it is tangled to unravel what ...
