[عبير يونس]

I understand that I've been = I was, and still is, of the opinion

How does that sound to you

Oh oh!

That's the difference between the simple past and the perfect past

I've been to France

means I am here now

( I went and came back)

I went to France

means you went in any point of time in the past

we don't know if you came back or still there

This is the difference in time

There are other differences also

I will discuss them later

I say with the opinion that says...not of

[عبير يونس]

By the way, thre is a very good book with the name "The Elements of Style", by William Strunk, Jr.

It has been recommended to me by many, and it helped me a lot in improving my style and punctuation. Plus, it is a short and easy read.

You can download it online at http://www.cs.vu.nl/~jms/doc/elos.pdf

That's what I call Knowledge Sharing

Thanks a lot

Did you mean stay with

[عبير يونس]

Going back to my little problem

Are Comprehendible and comprehensible

synonyms to each other

or not

I guess they are

don't you

Sure they are synonyms

but that doesn't mean they are equal

they have the same meaning

with different usage

[عبير يونس]

I say with the opinion that says...not of

Did you mean stay with

No

I meant I say: with the opinion

not of

OK

and

when I say: I've been in France since a point of time in the past

it means I came to France at that time

and I'm still in France to God knows when

Thank you Remon

Niahaha - evil laugh

OK! I'll be the good one

I forgive you

[أبو محمد]

Got an idea

let's disengage on the perfect tense

:)

We haven't, yet wrestled down

whether comprehendible is a synonym to comprehensible

or not

Let's agree on something

Whatever you say

I agree

How is that

No! I have been in/to France since 2000

means you are not there now

unless you say

and still

you can use both

in/to

I have been in France since 2000 and still

settled down

whether comprehendible is a synonym to comprehensible

I did here

That sounds great

hahahaha

I'm joking of course

I enjoy arguing

especially with smart partners

like you and Remon

By the way

I like your vocabulary

[Alshiekh]

Going back to my little problem

Are Comprehendible and comprehensible

synonyms to each other

or not

I guess they are

don't you

I'm not sure about this, but I believe that:

"Comperehendible" means that you understand the meaning of a group of words or a paragraph,.

For example in Toefl exam they check to see if you can understand the meaning of a sentence or a group of words that constructed an expression. (Comperehendible)

while the word "Comperehensible" means that you understand a subject or a story.

For example you read a short story then briefly you rewrite it again. (Comperehensible) or (Comperension).

What if I want to say:

I've been waiting for you since one c'clock,

or

I've been waiting for you for couple of hours.

Both means that I was waiting and continued to wait till now.

Thanks for telling me

maybe because I'm used to say ( and still) I thought it's a must to be said to give the meaning of

we are still there

thanks again

perfect continuous

from its name

it means it's continuous

Thank you ma'am

You make me shy

Wrestle down something is an expression that means:

fight (sportively) to the end

It insinuates some sort of friendly challenge
