Marcio_Osorio

"Do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe?" Hamlet Quote (Act III, Scene II)

My best attempt so far: None because I couldn't for the life of me do it as natively and as "Englishingly" as you'd naturally do it.

Thank you.

Karen

Marcio, you come down on yourself way to hard, I find your English delightful.

Do you find playing a pipe more difficult than playing with my emotions?

When are you going to give yourself a break?

Marcio_Osorio

Karen, thank you but other native speakers of English have told me they find it a bit obscure sometimes.

Karen

When these natives tell you they find your English obscure, do they also mention what they find obscure? If not, then don't pay attention to them or ask them where they need more clarity. Neither have I found your English obscure or used incorrectly. I would certainly tell you otherwise.

Karen, thank you for commenting on it. I have endeavored to correct it. People like you have helped me do it. Well, I just love this non-is-of-predication business so much so, that I have stopped reading most of the books altogether. They knowingly contain is of predication or any other form of the verb to be galore.

Karen

Oh my, don't stop reading books. We need great poets and fictional writers that allow us to let our minds drift through fantasy and wishful thinking. Only when we need preciseness and accuracy do we need a tool like e-prime. Think of yourself as one of the very fortunate ones who knows the difference between the two and can use it at will.
