You must say "one does".\n\n"If I were a bird" is a different situation--"were" is the correct subjunctive form of "to be", although many people just use the simple past to express that idea. (If I was a bird)

Both are correct English. The first would be the most common circumstance. Which is more correct would depend on the context of the situation.

It's B; I'm very certain.\n\n"A" has a subject, verb, and a direct object.\n"C" has a subject, verb, and a prepositional phrase.\n\nBut "B" is the one that has a subject complement, "better," which describes the subject, "I."

were is correct.  It's not singular or plural but fact (I was here yesterday) versus contrary to fact (if I were). "if I were" is fairly formal language, that is why many responders don't actually know how to use it correctly.  As another person said, your statement is wordy, but grammatically perfect.

Use 'would' when you are speculating of what you would do (not really doing it) ex:  I would go to Germany to study.  (this might be an answer to a hypothetical question 'where would you go to study?' or if you want to express your wish-- I would go to Germany to study, if I knew German).\n'rather than' is commonly used with 'would' to the same context but now you're comparing your hypothesis.\nex:  I would rather go to Germany than Italy to study.\n'used to be' has the same meaning as 'was' and 'were' (past tense of verb to be)\nex:  I used to be a student.  (Now I'm not)\n'in spite of' means without consideration to.  It follows by nouns.\nex:  I'm going to study in Germany in spite of language barrier.

"Their" is possessive, as in Their car.\n\n"There" is a place- as in Over There.\n\n"They're" is just short for they are- As in they're idiots.

Both sentences are grammatically correct when examined alone.\n\nThe first is talking about a situation in the present.  You would use this expression when you give a gift to someone.\n\nThe second is talking about a future situation.  You would use this expression when you were talking about a movie that the other person plans to see in the future.

1. There are a lot of books. (example on cooking here)\n\n2. There is a lot of books.\n\nWhen the subject (Books) is plural the verb always changes. In this case its third person plural form of the verb "to be". That is why, you have to use are instead of is.\n\nIf you have to say the same sentence with singular (Book) then its:-\n\nThere is a book (on cooking here).\n\nConjugation of the verb to be:-\nSingular\nFirst Person:- I am\nSecond Person:- You are\nThird Person:- It is\n------------\nPlural\n1st Person:- We are\n2nd Person:- They are\n3rd Person:- They are\n\nHope this helps!

A is correct.\n\nAn adjectival clause usually begins with a relative pronoun, which makes the clause dependent. Common relative pronouns: that, which, who, whom, whose.

I am stumped.\n\nAn adverb generally modifies a verb (a word denoting some form of action).  "Went" is a past participle of go (action word).  "Walk" is also a verb. "For" is a preposition, therefore, "for a walk" is a prepositional phrase. "Outside" is a noun telling "where" the "nameless character"  "went".  "On" can be used as a preposition, an adverb AND an adjective. So . . . using that theory, "On" is used as a function word that indicates a time in which something happens, "On a very cold day". So it is a prepositional phrase.  However, that phase comes before the verb "went" and again after the prepositional phrase "for a walk". \n\nConfused yet?\n\nSo am I.\n\nSo my guess would be the first prepositional phrase "On a very cold day" (being a function of time) preceding the verb "went".\n\nJust a guess.  Probably a bad guess, but a guess all the same.\n\nCheck with your English teacher.  They may have had grammar in college.

C is correct. "between" is a preposition and begins a prepositional phrase which ends with a noun or pronoun called the object of the preposition. Therefore, the objective case (form) of the personal pronoun (me, him, her, us, them) and NOT the nominative case (form) of the personal pronoun (I, he, she, we, they)follows a prepositon.\n\nI hope this helps you.
