I always get confused between these two sentences:     Why are you making noise?      Why you are making noise?   Could anyone put light in the differences between the two?

a. His two previous books  b. His previous two books   .............   His 2 latest previous books His 2 previous latest books His previous latest 2 books His latest previous 2 books His previous 2 latest books His latest 2 previous books  I am wondering what is the difference could be between these in meaning?  Which one do you use? which one you don't use?  I think just especially native speakers or learned ones in English can provide the most proper answer.  Thanks

What's the difference between  and  ?

A: "I assume you know how this works."   B: "I am assuming you know how this works."   So if you expect someone to know how to use a certain machine for instance could you say either of the too? I cant make out a difference in meaning so if there is none which would be the preferred choice for most speakers?

I asked this question  but I haven't gotten a useful answer. Could you tell me the difference in meaning between these sentences?        Do you think you will visit them next week?     Will you visit them next week?     Are you going to visit them next week?     Are you visiting them next week?     Are you going to be visiting them next week?     Are you planning to be visiting them next week?     Do you plan to visit them next week?      Will there be any difference in the answers?        I think I will visit them next week.     I will visit them next week.     I am going to visit them next week.     I am visiting them next week.     I am going to be visiting them next week.     I am planning to be visiting them next week.     I plan to visit them next week.      Can I use "planning to" instead of "going to"?  (E.g. "Are you planning to visit them next week? — Yes, I am planning to visit them next week.") Which of these sentences show that the subject of conversation has already been discussed? For example, I talked with a friend of mine about my plans to visit somebody. So my friend is aware of my plans.  And my last question. Which of these seven sentences express that the action will certainly take place?

Which one is correct? Leaning towards first one but I am unsure because a more basic version would be "How good is it?"

How does he does that?      How does he do that?   Which one is correct? This type of sentence sounds a little odd because of two do/does in a single statement. Is there an alternative which has the same meaning?

Both seem to be in common usage, but is there a nuanced difference about when one is more appropriate than the other? Thanks.

Is it better to say "How do I do something?" or "How can I do something?"

Here are two sentences. 1. What are you doing in here? 2. What are you doing here?  What is the difference between the two sentences? (between No,1 and No,2 sentences)  Is there any grammar to omit preposition like above?

Reading some books and posts I noticed that there are some semantice differences between constructions described in the title of this post. Could someone help me to find out what are the real difference and in which situations are better to use appropriate constructions?  I would be very grateful to hear the correct answer.

First of all, English is not my first language. I have a question, maybe a basic one, about this phrase:     The situation highlights the mismatch between some areas of training and available jobs to/for them.   Should it be "available jobs to them" or "available jobs for them"?  Sorry if the question is really basic.

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?

What, according to the functionalist, is the difference between things which merely have functional roles and things whose functional roles amount to their having a mind? Different people may interpret identical events or stimuli differently due to their having a mind that differs from your own.  Which part of English grammar stipulates using their in these sentences? For me it should be either &quot;to them having a mind&quot; or &quot;to their having of a mind.&quot;

I think this sentence is correct.     I done something.   This is also correct.     I have done something.   What are the involved tense? How are they different?

What does this phrase mean? And in what cases is it appropriate to use it?

Can anyone give a cogent, simply described explanation of why the verb BE in:  What is it?  ... doesn't seem to be able to be contracted with the subject:  What's it? *  Compare the sentences above with:  What's this? What's that?  These are perfectly fine. In fact, the contractions here should be expected in almost all examples of spoken English. Answers with references to authoritative vetted sources would be greatly appreciated.
