In the summey of my physics paper, for a scientific journal, in the start of a new paragraph in the discussion, what is more correct to write?   "We have showed that" the system obeys this and that rules,   or:   "We have shown that"...   or simply:    "We showed that"...?   Thanks!

1.I will study hard until I get a high score on this exam. 2.I will study hard until I've gotten a high score on this exam.  I think these sentences are grammatically correct. but if I add a specific time, I think these sentences have to be only this one:  3.I will study hard until I get a high score on this exam on July 25th.  And how about these?  a. I'd like to watch all of the holocaust movies present in the world until I've become an expert on it. b. I'd like to watch all of the holocaust movies present in the world until I become an expert on it.  Since there's no a word representing a specific time, both of them are okay, right? And what I'd like to know is the difference between &quot;have gotten&quot; and &quot;get&quot;. What I know about them is we can use &quot;future perfect&quot; to refer to unspecific future event that might happen before some accident. but &quot;get&quot; refers to future event that could be either a specific scheduled event or unspecific future event. that's why if I add a specific time mentioning, I have to use &quot;get&quot;.

I'm thinking about making a headline. I know you would use a comma here:     Professor Bill Bick then told me, "There will be more jobs when the   economy recovers."   What about here?     Read Professor Bill Bick's article, "Why There Will be More Jobs When   the Economy Recovers."   Are commas used before article titles that are quoted?

Should I write "headers" like chapter, section, etc. with capital letters?  I think I have seen both; therefore I am not sure.  As an example, if I write something and want to refer to a specific chapter/section (they are numbered):     "As we have seen in chapter/section [x]..."

In the graph for all arrests, and DUI arrests, the effect of the MLDA is about 125 and 50 increase in arrests rate respectively.    I personally think no comma should be put before the word respectively. And what about the comma before the phrase and DUI arrests? Should I remove it? I want to say there is one graph for each and make that clear.  So maybe I should change the first part of the sentence to something like: .     In both graphs for all arrests and DUI arrests, the effect of the MLDA is about a 125 and 50 increase in arrests rate respectively.

I've been trying to work out which of the following make best grammatical sense but have been looking at them for so long now that my mind has turned to mush and they both seem wrong.    Which is better form:     A total of 0.0605 moles (3 s.f.) of NaOH was originally added to the aspirin   Or:     A total of 0.0605 moles (3 s.f.) of NaOH were originally added to the aspirin   I know that moles is plural but personally I think was is the better of the two.  I would appreciate some opinions on which reads better to people.

I have a question about the following construction and which instance is correct.        Selecting an appropriate study topic(s).   Selecting appropriate study topic(s).      When it is both singular and plural due to the parenthesized optional part, should I use the an because of thinking of what follows as being the singular (that is, study topic)?  Or should I omit the an because of thinking of what of what follows as being in the plural (that is, study topics)?

Example with a context (news article: ):     In their last crime, the alleged robbers had grabbed more than 8 million rubles ($146,000) in an attack on a cash courier in May, police said.   What's wrong with saying the police said? What's the nuance? Check that article. Almost every time they use the word police, there's no article in front of it.

I found the following phrase in a NYTimes article and I was pretty surprised that it wasn't corrected or edited out: "But when it comes to privacy and freedom, cash can't be beat.".  I am under the impression that this is incorrect grammar and the sentence should actually be "[...] cash can't be beaten." or "[...] you can't beat cash" but definitely not the one used in the article. Am I wrong here?  This sort of grammar is mostly only used in slang in England and I always thought that it was wrong but after a bit of googling, I'm not sure anymore. Is it just another difference between American and British English? I know it's really petty but I'm still interested in the answer!  Article link:

I'm having some issues with a sentence that is part of the purpose in a report that I'm writing. I'm not sure if the word "communicate" (in bold) should be singular or plural.  The applications in the "set" will communicate with each other, not with other "sets".     The purpose of this report is to develop a sample set of applications   that communicates between services on the internet, mobile devices   and a central processing unit in a motor vehicle.

I've recently read a  from a local paper that included the following:     The pair was drinking prior to the shooting.   To me, this appears wrong and I would say that the proper way to make the statement would be:     The pair were drinking prior to the shooting.   Is the original article correct?

If a proper noun includes the word "the" and we want to refer to it using the definite article, should "the" appear twice in succession? For example:  "Can you pass me The Who CD?" vs. "can you pass me the The Who CD?"  "The US Government passed The Hague Act" vs. "The US Government passed the The Hague Act?". (this example inspired by a comment to ).  To me the first versions seem incorrect, but the second versions sound very awkward.
