  • what do you think, guys girls?

    ok so I'm living in a foreign country teaching english, have been here for a year and will be going home in 4 months. I met a guy here and I really dont know what to think now I know I might never see him again after this. I guess its nothing really really serious with us because we always knew I would be leaving, so he said to me once that he doesnt know how to feel because if he's in love and feeling all these things..then I leave anyway, whats the point etc. I feel same, why feel so much for someone when you know you both don't want to move country for good. Has anyone been in this situation and can tell me what happened? ...I'm so sad that I'm not going to be able to keep enjoying this guy. he's amazing ...sighhhh. ok any words of wisdom appreciated ..thanks

  • when is 'chase' a noun and when a verb?

    I am on a course & one question was how many nouns in the sentence Dogs tend to chase cats

    I would have said just 2 dog + cat. But I looked up the word chase and it shows as a noun

    the quiz showed the correct answer as 2 nouns only: dog & cat

    but now I'm confused. I understand a verb is an action - ie chase, but why doees dictionary show it as a noun too ?

    when is it a noun? and when is it a verb?

    I dont need any links to grammar websites etc thanks I have lots of that kind of thing, would just really appreciate an explanation please..thanks
