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

A: What's is your favorite tea?
You shawty (sounds like you shall tea, or its essential to drink tea, so it's a joke)

A: In this sentence, "I fear" means "I don't want to believe it, but I think it is true." does that make sense?

A: if they mean it seriously then i’m not sure why they would answer that way but whenever I just answer “yes” it means I want a lot or if given two options I want both

a: i’m so hungry
b: i have a bunch of food downstairs, what do you want to eat?
a: yes
b: oh so you’re very hungry. we can make a few different things


a: should I get a husky or a pomeranian?
b: yes
a: but I can only have one dog!
b: fine, how about a mix?
a: perfect!

A: It is difficult to explain a joke, because analyzing humor makes it less funny. I will do my best.

The question is asking "where" to find the tortoise, with emphasis on the place. The person who is asked this joke would try to think of a place where a legless tortoise could be found. The answer is both a little suprising and a little obvious, once you hear it.

A tortoise with no legs cannot move. So if you are trying to find it, you should check the spot where you last saw the tortoise. It is probably still there.

This joke has a similar structure to another one I've heard: "Where does a 500-lb gorilla sit?" Answer - "Wherever he wants!"

The punchline is that if he is that big (and also a gorilla), he can just sit anywhere he wants to sit. No one is going to tell him that he cannot sit somewhere, because he is too big and intimidating. Do you want to upset a 500-lb gorilla? Of course not. He is huge! (and also a gorilla)

A: Q means qualified.

R means qualified as reserve. I'm not sure what that means, but I think it means that if an athlete is unable to compete, the best reserve athlete will take their place.

A: Yes, this is correct.
Add salt but use it sparingly, because too much salt will ruin the dish.

A: the word am is a definite. I am female. I am old. I am going. I will shows an intention to do something. I will set my alarm. I will order from the menu. I will go by air If you are sure you are going by air, I am should be used.

A: "Yes I do" is slightly unnatural as it implies that you did something.

"Yes I am" involved your current state of being (as in you are currently in the process of looking for a job).

A: Unless there is only one bench, and your listener already knows about the bench, you need to use “a” because you’re introducing it to the listener. There is a bench in the park and Emily is sitting on it. If you use “the,” you’re assuming your listener already knows exactly which bench you’re talking about - the (only) one in the park.

A: @dkdkdkdhk One is a question and one is an answer.

It should be written like this:
Q:"Is he famous? Do you have a picture?"
A:"Yes he is on and in everything."

A: There is almost no difference.

This = これ / この
that =それ / その / あれ / あの

it = thing previously mentioned. [ これって言えば、これ。それって言えば、それ。部屋って言えば、部屋]

例
I want a room with two chairs in it
=
I want a room with two chairs in the room

A: A “throwback” means that something seems the same as or has the characteristics of a past time/event.
To remind is to cause someone to remember someone/something, or to cause someone to think of someone/something because of their similarity/resemblance/likeness.

I hope this helps

A: That isn’t incorrect but it’s not so natural. Usually people would say things like “I’m really hungry” or “I’m not hungry”

Even just yes or yeah works.

A: Just without accent

A: Q. Where are you going
A. nowhere in particular/just out for a bit/toilet break.

A: It is a joke. brie is a type of cheese. Cheese is a kind of food. So the music cheese listens to is R n Bries . This is a play on words because "R n B" is a type of music in America. R n Bries sounds like R n B.

A: Q: I can't find Darwin. Do you know where he is?

A1: Yeah, he’s sitting at his desk. (implies you think he's probably still there)

A2: He was sitting at his desk a moment ago. (implies where you last saw him and that he's probably still there)

A3: That’s strange. He was sitting at his desk a moment ago. (He's no longer there)

Unrelated: I’m from London (UK) and normally live in the borough of Lewisham. I’ve been living in Fukuoka, Japan for the last year.

A: First of all, the sentences you above are both correct and completely natural. However, tenses in English can be a bit complicated. There is more than one KIND of past tense. "Was sitting" is an example of the "past continuous" tense, which is a combination of the past tense and continuous aspect. That means an action happened for a set period of time in the past, and may or may not be over in the present. It normally implies that the action is "finished" to the speaker's knowledge, but I would say it leaves open the possibility that it has not finished. I think the literal meaning of the two sentences is the same. Even in the first example, the second speaker is only saying that they know were Darwin *was*, and since they have no reason to believe he may have moved, it is reasonable to assume he is still there, but still, they don't know for sure.

I'm in Madison, Wisconsin, USA right now. :)

A: Your examples are natural.

No, an action in the past tense isn't necessarily finished. Though it usually is. The only thing that is certain is that it *started* in the past.

Consider "I sat down two hours ago". That statement is perfectly consistent with "I am still sitting"

I live in Austin, TX, USA. Thanks for asking :). I was in the Shilin District of Taipei just a few months ago. You have great street food.

It seems you're interested in the minutia of English grammar. ell.stackexchange.com has a community more versed in those things than HiNative. But you won't find much encouragement there—"good job! just a couple mistakes here and there...". However you will find many smart people debating the best answer to your question, *if* your question is good.
