Presidentの例文や意味・使い方に関するQ&A

A: The money in the USA has pictures of the faces of our presidents from the past on it. All of the presidents on our money have been dead for a long time.

A: The constitution is the document that gives all the powers and rules to the different parts of the American government.

So technically the president gets his powers from the constitution which makes him "constitutionally in charge"

A: 1) “subscribe to” means something different than it normally does in this context. If you “subscribe to” a theory or a method of doing things, it just means you do that method or believe that theory. For example, you can say “I subscribe to the theory that hard work should be rewarded”, and that will mean you believe that hard work should be rewarded.
In this context it means that the president believes in the “madman theory” that is described later in the sentence.
2) “off-putting” is another word for “unsettling”. I can’t think of a difference.
3) “throw people off” means to confuse, interrupt, distract, or to mislead people. It basically means that you’re making it hard for someone else to understand something. For example, if you were giving a presentation and then someone shouted to interrupt you, then you’d be “thrown off” by that interruption.

Does that help?

A: It means "If you would allow me to use the C word" :)

That kind of phrase is usually used when the author is acknowledging that they're about to use a cliche of some sort.

A: Based on what we have already seen the president do, we can predict that he is/will do...
For instance
"What we have seen of the president suggests he will not support the bill about lowering taxes" means we don't think he will support the bill because of what we've seen him do before. Maybe he hasn't supported similar bills or he's said things against the bill

A: Basically any kind of job title. "He is Assistant Manager at Walmart.", "He is the Assistant Manager at Walmart." Sometimes it sounds better to have the "the", so it becomes a choice how you want to say things.

A: "The president of the athlete's club gets to choose the uniforms this season."
"The president of the United States has an orange face."

A: “speak” is used in more formal contexts. Since you mentioned “president”, “speak” sounds like the more appropriate, formal choice of word.

In most other contexts, the differences between “speak” and “talk” are quite minor.

“I spoke to Tom.” It implies you said something to Tom, but Tom did not necessarily say anything.

“I talked to Tom.” It implies you maybe had a conversation with Tom, meaning Tom also said something to you.

Basically, “speak” tends to be one-sided, while “talk” implies a conversation between one or more people.

A: Ok let me show you the difference:

Were to' in the present 'if... were to + verb'

'Were to' is used in the present to place emphasis on the improbability of the condition. It shows that something is highly unlikely or unthinkable. This form is used in the 'if-clause'.

If he were to be my boss, I think I would quit the next day.
If I were to have no friends, I would be terribly lonely.
If she were to be right about that, we’d never hear the end of it.

'Were to' in the future 'If...were to + verb...'

'Were to' can be used in the future to emphasise that the conditional form is highly unlikely or unthinkable. Here too 'were to' is used in the 'if-clause'.

If Peter were to decide to go to America to study, Sarah would be devastated.
If he were to fail the exam, he'd have to wait a whole year to try again.
If Tess were to show up at the party tomorrow, Alison would not be very amused.

'Were to' in the future 'If...were to have + past participle'

'Were to' in the past has the same function as in the present and the future. It emphasises a truly unthinkable conditional form. It is only used in the ‘if-clause’.

If the bus were to have gone over the railings, all the passengers would have drowned.
If he were to have failed his test, he would have been devastated.
If you were to have gone to Florida, you would have been there when the hurricane hit.

A: The president is to sign a new order = he is supposed to
The president is about to sign a new order = he will in the next few moments

A: "Had" indicates that the sentence refers to a situation in the past, likely because the subject no longer works with the president. "Has" indicates that the situation is ongoing.

A: （日本語が下手ですみません）

「Prime Minister」(首相) は国会または議会によって選出され、国家元首は徳仁（日本）であるため、政府の長にすぎません。

A: I don’t think that third to last president would make sense to an American - they might understand the general sense of what you’re trying to say (the president that is numerically the 3rd one prior to the current one ) but the term “last president” would make the listener think of the previous president, not the current one.

A: "President" is pronounced "プレジドン" in French.

A: × She wants to be the president, and she will probably realize it.
✓ She wants to be the president, and she will probably achieve it.

A: A is better. English speakers would understand B but never say it.

Another thing you could say is “The president would have met the delegation …….”

Keep in mind that when you use “would have xxxx” you have to use the past form of the verb:
“would have met” <— good
“would have meet” <— not correct
