tomorrow in the past
Sat, 28 Jun 2008 14:03:38 +0200

the *present* day.
However, I've noticed that many people say things like "I was gonna
try it tomorrow, but in the end I gave in."
Is that the usual way to say it? Y ...

to work in/on/at a place
Fri, 27 Jun 2008 17:50:25 +0200
Hi all,
sorry if it a bit silly, but I just wanted to know what preposition
would you use to tell about the place you go to work every day, not
necessarily the exact place but the kind of place, for example:
I work __ a bookshop.
I work __ a hospital.
I work __ a flowers stall at the market.
Or does it ra ...

'a historian' or 'an historian'?
Sun, 22 Jun 2008 11:15:01 -0700 (PDT)
Please see a quote from Noel below:
"Many English people use 'an' before some words beginning with 'h',
but my experience is that this only occurs (apart from the cases
where the 'h' is mute anyway) when the first syllable is not
accented. Thus 'a history' but 'an historian'.
Is this true that since the initi ...

"an eulogy" or "a eulogy"?
Wed, 18 Jun 2008 10:13:57 -0700 (PDT)
As per phonetics theory, I've been told one should use the indefinite
article "a" before words beginning with a consonant and "an" before
words beginning with a vowel or a diphthong. And the sound "y" ( or /
j / in phonetic script) as in "eulogy", "university", "European"
etc. is to be treated as a consonant (th ...
