Vang2x Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) I'm starting to doubt my ENG skill and getting confused on the differences among the four I mentioned. Thanks ahead. Edited July 7, 2009 by Vang2x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harcourt Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I'm starting to doubt my ENG skill and getting confused on the differences among the four I mentioned. Thanks ahead. I'm a bit confused about the question...however, it sounds like you are asking about grammar. The best I can do is give examples in the form of sentences: "Black dogs are hard to see at night". The sentence generalises that every dog that is black is hard to see in the dark. It also implies that dogs of a different colour may be less difficult to see. "Some black dogs seem more aggressive than others". The sentence implies that not all black dogs are aggressive, but some are. "A black dog"....One black dog, singular. "All black dogs..." What the British call the NZ rugby team after they beat the Lions AGAIN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, oh, child, way you shake that thing Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting. Hey, hey, baby, when you walk that way Watch your honey drip, cant keep away.

longstebe Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Nice to see the old Zeppelin fans come out the woodwork. Graetest band that ever graced our planet. Off tiopic but so what.

When I realize from time to time that younger generation have already forgotten Led Zeppelin and other mythic bands from that time, I've the same feeling as the guy from the movie "Planet of the Apes" when he discovers the head of the Statue of Liberty on the beach, if you see what I mean ...

longstebe Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 They teased us all by doing that one off gig in the O2 arena. Don't they realise they would make a boat load of cash even without Bonzo.Jason will do fine. Well at least I got to see Page and Plant in Manchester. I think it was 96'. What a night. Has anybody on here seen Led Zepp live? Would have love to have seen Bonzo going absolute crazy on the skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's normal, no problem. Young people have their music. Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Pink Floyd and all the others was my music in the 70s and still will be till I am gone. OP: MY GENERATION is from The Who. That's another big band from that time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave the Dude Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Has anybody on here seen Led Zepp live? Knebworth Festival. Sometime around the '80's.

Ijustwannateach Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 There's also a black dog and the black dog- the first one is a particular one that has not yet been identified, and the second one is that one already identified referred to again (thus the indefinite and definite article).

Vang2x Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 There's also a black dog and the black dog- the first one is a particular one that has not yet been identified, and the second one is that one already identified referred to again (thus the indefinite and definite article). That's very helpful. I figured you stress on the singular subject as writing a story or article about a certain black dog. For instance,one can start with A black dog (in the first paragraph), then use THE black dog as the story goes on. How about THE black dogs and ALL Black dogs? As I understood, THE is an article along with "AN" and "A". " "The" is definite while "A" and "AN" are indefinite. Definite means being SPECIFIC. It has nothing to do with generalization. Unless one uses ALL then it is generalization. Am I right? My apologies ahead, this maybe an ignorance but for sure I'd stay being one if I don't ask Q and pretend I know and I understand. Thank you. Thanks MOD for for the words, kinda surprising some s*ckos exist here. Good day to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never known the colour of the dogs I've eaten, so I can't comment....Could be right though, black goats are better, according to my Sri Lankan friends.
