Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Year"

A: Hello !

'Given year' is another way of saying 'per year' or 'in one year'. It is used quite often when giving statistics/facts, but can be conversational, too.

Examples:

1) In a given year, the Thomas hospital sees 150,000 patients in emergency.
2) I feel like my mum makes at least 100 casseroles in a given year.
3) We have about 3000 tourists come through our resort in any given year.

^^ 이해가 좀 되셨으면 좋겠습니다 - I hope the above makes sense and is helpful! (^_^*)/

A: The measure is the data or the numbers.

A: This is explaining what values you could use for month or year when you are entering a date. “1 through 9999” means “all numerical values from one up to and including 9999.”

Through can be used this way when you are talking about things or events that come in a series, like numbers. Ex:

“This job will be temporary, from January through April”: the job will last from January, up to the end of the month of April.

A: made it’s way means went on to

A: Not me, not them, not her, etc. is used a lot as slang these days and it's pretty hard to explain what it means but it's kind of like saying "I can't believe..."

So with that sentence it would be like "I can't believe I'm trusting my 12 year old sister to do my make up."

Another example: "Not her dating another guy again," it's like saying "I can't believe she's dating another guy again."

Basically, it's used to judge someone or something. I hope this isn't confusing, it's really hard to explain since it's from Twitter and a lot of Twitter slang makes absolutely NO sense haha

A: "in" is used to describe what is popular or available at the moment.

That style of jeans are so in this year.

Wearing that hairstyle is so in this year

A: The company gives the same bonuses year after year!
The house needs restoration year after year.
Year after year, the swallows migrate from Argentina to California.

A: “I met her the year before last.”
“The year before last, I was in high school.”

A: I'm going to switch two words.

For the second year straight I ate sandwiches for lunch.

A: In a positive context
Wow! What a year she has had! First she won a free holiday and then she got engaged!

Negative context
What a year he has had! He lost his job and then his wife left him.


I hope this is helpful to you.

A: There's no difference in meaning. But the normal usage in English is to give dates in hundreds except for the years of exactly 1,000 and 2,000 and the new millennium, when the normal things is to start with "twenty", but you will also hear "two thousand and (x)."

So you might hear "the year twenty nineteen" or "the year two thousand and nineteen." You might also hear "two thousand nineteen."

A: “We are matched against last year's champions in the first round”
(Correct, future tense)

“we was matched against last year's champions in the first round”
(Incorrect)


“we faced last year's champions in the first round”
(Correct, past tense)

A: Honestly I think they're pretty much the same.

If you have something to say afterwards, then I'd use "finish out."
"I need to finish out my senior year before I can move to another city."

"I need to finish my senior year." stands on its own pretty well.

A: They get the same point across.

A: @nanamianimelove One year is referring to a general period of 365 days, whereas one Calendar year is more specifically referring to a period of one year starting on 1st January and ending on 31st December, according to the Gregorian calendar.

A: It makes sense! To make the sentence flow better, I would change the part before the comma like this: — If we say last year was “night,” ...
— If last year was “night,” ...
— If we think of last year as “night,” ...

I think the second and third option are a little more natural than the first.

Whatever you choose, this is an “If..., then...” kind of sentence that doesn’t quite sound right without “If” at the beginning.

You could also split up the sentences, though, and say it like this:

Let’s say last year was “night.” Well, I really hope that this year will be “morning” ...

I still prefer my third example, but all of these are natural options.

A: Perfect

A: I feel like when I say it like that I’m talking about a passcode instead of a year. It sounds a bit clumsy if I were to say zero four if I was talking about a year.

A: I’m not sure I fully understand, but here’s my best interpretation.

“There is no better time than now to welcome the new year. Deep down, I hope everything that happened this year was just a nightmare and that we’ll wake up from it as if nothing really happened.”

A: No, you can say most of this year.

A: Sounds perfect to me. If anything, I would say "Yeah, I completed my undergrad...", but that's idiomatic. It's perfect as is :)

A: If the age is an adjective for a noun then it is "year old" but when its stating the age of the noun its "years old".
Example ;
"My 4 year old kid"
"My kid is 4 years old"
The first one is describing the kid using their age.
The second one is stating the kids age.

I hope this made sense? Please ask any questions if you have!

A: Yes your sentence is great

A:
I had a New Year’s party with my work company yesterday.
We started drinking during the day. Drinking that early made me feel a bit guilty, I drank a lot. I threw up a couple of times. It was a disaster! I regret that I drank too much.

It was mostly correct well done!
PS I hope you’re okay!

A: Good job. You got it right!
