Why does everybody want to help me whenever i need someone's help Can you please explain to me the difference in mean. Why is filipino spelled with an f Philippines is spelled with a ph Some have said that it's because in filipino, philippines starts with f But if this is so, why did we only change the beginning.
8 1) please tell me why is it like that [grammatically incorrect unless the punctuation is changed Why is it like that Why is [etc.] is a question form in english Why is the sky blue Why is it that children require so much attention
Since we can say why can we grow taller?, why cannot we grow taller? is a logical and properly written negative We don't say why we can grow taller? so the construct should not be why we cannot grow taller? the reason is that auxiliaries should come before the subject to make an interrogative. There is no recorded reason why doe, except there was, and is, a range of others like roe So it may have been a set of names that all rhymed and that law students could remember Or it could be that they were formed from a mnemonic, like the english pronouciation of a prayer or scripture in latin/greek. Googling 'for why' (in quotes) i discovered that there was a single word 'forwhy' in middle english.
Unlike how, what, who, where, and probably other interrogatives, why does not normally take to before its infinitive I wonder if this is dialectal, or perhaps just individual. Relative why can be freely substituted with that, like any restrictive relative marker I.e, substituting that for why in the sentences above produces exactly the same pattern of grammaticality and ungrammaticality The reason that he did it * the cause that he did it * the intention that he did it * the effect that he did it * the thing that. Why should we capitalize the first person pronoun 'i' even when it does not appear at the beginning of a sentence
The usual order is why is this not [ready yet]? inverting it to why is not this [rose in bloom]? might be possible in poetry, but it sounds awkward at best in everyday usage Awkward at best is a euphemism for incorrect You didn't ask about it, but for completeness i thought i'd mention that why isn't this [all over the internet]? is perfectly fine
