Structureの例文や意味・使い方に関するQ&A

A: Structure is the arrangement of pieces which made up some large object (or abstract concept)

It also has an implication that something is strong and stable (like the structure of a building).

A: That the issue has to be more serious for someone to take action/change

A: Hai you can say ‘from sticks’. It will also be correct.

A: something of large size like a building or bridge is being construct.

A: yes, but it can also be anything that isn't liquid or gas, so wood, plastic, even paper :) it is anything that if you just let it be, will not change shape, size or location on its own.

So if you have a piece of wood, unless you apply force to it, it won't change. But if you try to put water on a table, it will spread everywhere without your help because it is liquid.

I hope that's understandable haha :)

A:

“When it comes to” can be used as a phrase meaning “when it is time for.” or “on the topic of.” Here are some examples.

“When it comes to motorcycles, he knows his stuff!”

“I know all the rules on paper, but when it comes to actually kicking the ball, I am hopeless.”

“When it comes to leaving a tip, I try to be generous.”


But it is used outside of that form as well. This sentence is simply using “it” in place of “the band.” The focus is on the band rather than the city:

“The band will go on tour soon. When it comes to our city I will be first in line for tickets.”

To do something “for the sake of” something else, means you are trying to preserve it. Here are examples of “for the sake of” :

“For the sake of brevity I will keep it simple.”

To preserve the brevity.

“He stopped drinking for the sake of his family.”

To preserve his family.

“She stopped smoking for the sake of her health.”

To preserve her health.

“For the sake of the wildlife in this park we ask that you refrain from littering and keep your dog on a leash at all times.”

To preserve the wildlife.

I hope that helps!

A: Skyscrapers are a very labour intensive structure to build

A: Not only are you beautiful but you're also kind.

Not only is she rude but also annoying

A: Basically the same.

Structure- building, the shape of something, or how something is put together.

Framework- the basic part of a structure that makes it strong.

Literal

The building was in bad shape. The structure looked like it was falling apart, but at least the metal framework was still okay.

Figurative

The employee structure seemed fine from the outside, but the president, its framework, was corrupt.

A: Both words are used in different ways. A Structure is referring to a building or other large permanent thing such as a big art piece. Structure is also used to describe the shape or foundation of something- “the building has solid structure” Or “the structure of the art piece is in an oval shape”.

Construction is used to refer to the process of building something. “The construction of the house is taking a long time”. But construction can also be used like the second meaning of structure I mentioned above- “the construction of the house is solid”

A: The structure of the embankment and the period in which the embankment was built were discovered.

This is a more complete sentence, it is clear and easy to understand. The first sentence is the shorter form:

The structure and the period which the embankment was built were discovered.

But it has some issues with grammar and phrasing, which makes it sounds awkward/unnatural to me. I would phrase it as:

Both the structure itself and the period in which the embankment was built were discovered.

A: "the structure of economy will change" means that it will change naturally but when said "the structure of economy will be changed" it means that someone or something will make it change with force

A: Construction is the building of a structure or object. For example, if construction is happening outside your home, then there are people building something, like a building, outside your home.

A structure is just another name for an object that has been constructed and can hold itself up. Many things can be a structure, but usually big things, such as buildings or bridges, are thought of when you talk about structures. Famous structures include the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty. As you can see, structures are exclusive to one type of thing.

Hope this helps :)

A: Mother-tongue speakers of English don't actually think of themselves as omitting any kind of cue/clue words here. I added them because sometimes a little variation can help one pick up a second language's structures more easily. Instead of "hear," I could have used "Listen to," or "Notice" or even "I'm amazed at (how fluently he speaks)" or "It's astonishing ...."

I'd call them exclamatives, and in short versions, the exclamation mark would be more common punctuation than a period. "How hard she tried!" is an example in the Cambridge Grammar of the English Language. They're NOT inverted these days: the subject still precedes the verb. No one today would say "How hard tried she!" as an exclamative. Four hundred years ago, yes. Shakespeare has Cleopatra say "How heavy weighs my lord!" meaning "It's amazing how heavy my lord weighs!" The line that Cleopatra actually says is inverted: the verb comes before the subject. But even in Shakespeare's time, inversion wasn't necessary, as the following quote shows, where the subject precedes the verb in normal, non-inverted order:

This young gentlewoman had a father — O that “had!”, >>>how sad a passage
’tis!<<< — whose skill was almost as great as his honesty

Note, by the way from that example, that the structure needn't be "How + adverb," but can also be "How + adj + det + noun." ("Det" here means the determiner: the article "a.")

The CGEL does have examples with inversion, but it's typically triggered by an auxiliary:
How often had he regretted his impetuosity!

There are tons of examples of the "how + adjective" structure in Shakespeare. How careful was I when I took my way ... How heavy do I journey on the way ... How sweet and lovely dost thou make the shame ... and scores, perhaps a hundred more. But it's a thoroughly modern and common structure in modern English. The CGEL mainly discusses it in chapter 10, specifically 10.8. One of my daughters' favorite story books when they were young girls was called "Cranberry Thanksgiving." It includes the following lines, as the three characters are eating some pie together:

"How delicious," said Maggie.
"How delightful," said Grandmother.
"How about another piece?" said Mr. Whiskers.

There's also a variation on exclamatives that uses "what" instead of "how": "Oh, what a piece of work is man!" Or "What a good player she is!" A well-known Christian hymn includes the lines "What a wonder!" Common examples might be "What a disaster!" or "What a show-off! (s/he is)," and so on. "What a fuss she made!" "What a difficult problem (this is)!"

Finally, there's even an option sometimes to omit the verb:

What nonsense! How wonderful! What a rude thing to say!

I was tempted at the outset of this to go looking for examples in the British National Corpus or the Corpus of Contemporary American English (or of soap operas), but the examples above are probably enough.

A: I try to learn how to swim or I tried to learn how to swim.
Trato de aprender como nadar o traté de aprender como nadar

A: 意味が全然わからないけど。。。

This structure is the one that replaced the bread on one side of the sandwich with infinite bread, i.e. that of finite meat and bread resting on an infinite amount of bread.

A: It means "or at least no equivalents that caught on". The "or at least" sort of restates the phrase before and adds to it. It's pretty common.

A: @taoapple11 can you go in my profile and try to answer at my question?

A: Looks like a typo and you are correct. It should be "as bizarre as it sounds".

Good catch.

A: 1. There's a typo or something. Pretty sure "it their reserves" is supposed to be "in their reserves."

2. It's a clause. The employees are trying to figure out how much (of something) that they have. "that they have" is a clarification and description of "how much of something."

Employees = subject
are counting = main verb
...and then why are they doing this?
in an attempt = linking phrase
to figure out = secondary verb
how much [...] reserves = object
Does that help?

A: do so = do that (fairly close at a literal level to「そうする」in Japanese)

daring　→　 this is simply the verb "dare" conjugated into its present participle.
果敢に「して」そうする（勝つか負ける）

Another example of the same structure:
"I may die, but at least I'll die trying."

"I feel like I'm going to go crazy thinking about this."

A: Yes, for example
It is supposed that New Zealand has the highest population of flightless birds
