I know the rule is to use past simple when you specify the time when the described action happened, but I strangely dislike this sentence and I'm not sure if the rule applies:   "It's the best movie I saw this year".  Shouldn't it be: "It's the best movie I've seen this year"?  Please, could you justify your answers? Thank you in advance!  Cheers

I found  with the title:     Why We Listen to Music   This seem somewhat incomplete to me, because "why we do something" is usually used as the subject of dependent clause like "This is why we listen to music."  I found  titled as follows:     Why Do We Listen to Music?   The second one sounds fine for me. My questions are these:   Is "Why We Listen to Music" grammatically correct? What's the difference between "Why We Listen to Music" and "Why Do We Listen to Music"?   Thanks in advance.

I'm getting confused about these two sentences:        The government should provide education to its citizens.   She has received a great education since high school.      I think education is an uncountable noun.  Why does the second sentence use the article a before education?   It might be a stupid question, but I really want to understand this topic clearly. I looked on many websites but there was no related answer to this.

Sentences are:   "The rainforests are in danger." "Rainforests are in danger."  So in this case, I think that they are both correct sentences...but:  "Guitars are musical instruments."  "The guitars are musical instruments."  In this case, we are still making generic statements about a plural noun, but the second one sounds bizarre. This for a student. I'm not sure WHY it's awkward. Why do we opt for "The guitar is a musical instrument."  Thanks in advance :)

A colleague asked me which of these sentences is correct, or if they are both correct which is better to use.   Are you using the current template version? Do you use the current template version?   I recommended using the first sentence but only because it sounds better to me.  Is there anything grammatically wrong with the second sentence or does it convey a different meaning to the first sentence?

I am trying to teach myself punctuation rules. I have this sentence:     The Disney version generally considered both racist and sexist portrayed the female characters in stereotypical roles and presented ethnically diverse characters with stereotypical features.   I think the sentence needs a comma after sexist and before portrayed. I also think it needs a comma after roles because of what I have identified as a coordinating conjunction. I.e.:     The Disney version generally considered both racist and sexist, portrayed the female characters in stereotypical roles, and presented ethnically diverse characters with stereotypical features.   Did I punctuate the sentence correctly? Is this a coordinating conjunction?
