This sentence does not make sense by itself.

A: Examples:
- Let's get in the car already.
- I think the elderly should get on the bus first.

You can say "get on the car" and "get in the bus" but it isn't as common and feels weird because the way you get in the car is different from getting on the bus.

“You always have to look behind you because cars are always passing through here”
[no errors here]

“You always have to look your back because cars are always passing through here?”
-> You always have to watch your back because cars are always passing through here.
[you need to "watch your back" to metaphorically see what is going on behind you in order to be cautious and ensure that it does not harm you.]

both essentially mean the same thing, but I believe the second is more natural and is more commonly used.

A: Both are correct. It's just that "There was no car on the street" is more expressive, it means "there was not a single car on the street"

"There were no cars..." is just the plural version

A: The meaning is slightly different, but they're interchangeable. :)

"The car wouldn't start this morning" -- You can use this that the car wasn't starting. You can also add what you did because it wouldn't start. "The car wouldn't start this morning, so I tried to fix it."

"The car didn't start this morning" -- is like stating that it didn't start, that's it.

You can use both, though!! :) They mean nearly 100% the same thing

A: yes, it does; The difference here is that "is" describes something that is ongoing, but "was" is describing something that happened. The nuance is a bit subtle, but you can think of "The car is designed by the boy" as:

"The car is [in a state of being] [that was] designed by the boy".

The state that the car is in WAS designed, but it was put into design by the boy, and it is continuing to be in that state. This can mean the same thing functionally as the past tense sentence, but it could also imply that there is more to say about the car that is going unsaid.

I'm sorry if this is a bit of a confusing explanation.

A: when people use these phrases in everyday speech, there is practically no difference in their meanings 🙂

however, there is a subtle difference in the information that they can convey

“he has washed his car” means that he washed his car at some point in the past. it could be just a moment ago, an hour ago, a week ago, etc. the point in time that he washed his car is very non-specific; all we know is that it was in the past. the focus is just on the completion of the event

“he finished washing his car” means that he recently started to wash his car, and now he has finished. “washing” is a present participle here, so it conveys a feeling of continuous action. it draws attention to the entire process of washing his car from the beginning to end. compared with the first sentence, you would normally use this one with a much more narrow and definite time-frame

A:

"Why does she need a car when her life is crazy enough as it is?"

A: Answer: I painted my car where there was a scrape.
In English, instead of putting "rubbed" you should put scrape. Rub sounds like there was friction against two things, but it doesn't explain that there was damage. Scrape means there was friction and damage. Hope that helps! :)

A: How fast is it going? How many miles per hour is it going?

A: You can refer to a "lead vehicle" if the other drivers are following it to a destination, like a car in the front of a procession. You would say the other vehicles are following (rather than late).
"Is Bob driving the lead vehicle, or is he in one of the following vehicles?" Depending on the context, you might just say "first car". "Is Bob driving the first car or one of the ones following it?"

If it is a race, Bob would be "In the lead".

A: We have parked your car in the parking lot.

A: × 1. It was raining heavily, and as the cars passed by they splashed him and soaked his clothes.
✓ 1. It was raining heavily, and as (the) cars passed by they splashed him and soaked his clothes.

× 2. It was raining heavily, and when cars passed by, water splashed on him, soaking his clothes.
✓ 2. It was raining heavily, and when cars passed by, water was splashed on him, soaking his clothes.

The use of "the" in the first sentence is optional.
In the second sentence, I think that because you used "was raining" using "was splashed" is more consistent. But, grammatically I don't think you are wrong.
Unfortunately, what sounds natural isn't necessarily correct.

A: It was raining heavily and as the cars passed by they splashed me and soaked my clothes.

A: You could use either version of the sentence, and it would make sense and sound natural!
However, using "by" is technically more correct.

Replacing the sentence with "Can we buy this car in installments?" would be the most common way to say this though.

A: × The cars are gonna go through the tunnel.
✓ They're going to go through the tunnel.

× Which car do you think will arrive?
✓ Which one do you think will arrive first?

A: It’s natural as long as you are referring to the present

Sorry I’m going to be late. The car has broken down on my way home


Now…

He gets home

Sorry I’m late

The car broke down on my way home
