BrainKing - Discussion boards (Languages)

Languages

Ask questions or just talk about different languages. Since BrainKing is an international game site supporting many languages, this board can be kind of useful.

Since we will be dealing with pronunciation of words rather than their spelling, I think it's useful to have a link to The sounds of English and the International Phonetic Alphabet.

To see translations of some frequently used phrases and sentences in other languages see Languages

Subject: Re:

ScarletRose: Nope, you haven't confused me at all. Well, the first sentence is a direct copy-paste from a movie named Saw II. So I wouldn't say it's wrong. Maybe not polite enough? If that's the problem with it, well that movie isn't a kind of 'polite' movie at all.

About the second example, I just figured it out that you're saying that because both may and probably have the same meaning.

So what if I change probably with already?

1)He may already have gone out.

2)He already may have gone out.

3)He may have already gone out.

4)He may have gone out already.
