关于Dog的意思和用法的提问

A: I think it means: The dog walked on a bee, and the bee stung the dog on its foot.

A: needs to be the complete phrase, 'the dog's bollocks', English slang meaning something is really good, awsome.

"Ahhh mate! Those new trainers you're wearing. They're the dog's bollocks"

Don't hear it very much, most slang is used by young people and nowadays they'd say something different.

A: = go (over and) get it
= grab it/pick it up and bring it back

A: Put down is a nice way of saying “have killed”.

A dog that gets put down is usually killed by the vet / has their life ended by the vet

Vet is short for veterinarian (an animal doctor)

A: The dog park is a place where you can take your dog to play with other dogs. To get done at the park is to leave or be done.

A: @rafaa_alroud
عفواً،
أظن أنه تعبير يدل على الفشل بمعنى

"This idea or excuse won't work" :)

A: That man is such a dog.

A: I have a (pet)dog. I love dogs. dogs are my favorite animals. the dog bit me. my dog ran away.

A: My dog is black. My dog 's name is Luke. My dog is very playful.

A: I strained my back picking up a table.

I strained my back while exercising.

My back is very fragile, so I strain it easily.

After I strained my back, I was bedridden for days.

I constantly strain my back.

A: To be fond of something is to have a reserved or measured liking of it, you are okay with it & kind of like it, it’s “growing on you”-type of liking.

To like is to like, no questions asked.

A: They are the same. I think the second one is worth a mention.

Here "the" means 'all of this type' and it is kind of academic but is also used frequently every day:

The elephant is endangered.
The whale is the largest mammal.
The car is a source of much pollution.

A: The first one is not correct.
It would be the dog jumped up on the sofa.
The second one is better.
The meanings are the same.

A: The first sentence implies that the speaker only has ONE dog [singular], while the second sentence implies that they have more than one dog [plural].

A: Be careful with the dog means to be gentle in order to not hurt the dog.

Be careful of the dog would usually mean to be aware or cautious so the dog doesn’t hurt you (for instance if it gets startled, it bites).

I have also seen people use Be careful of the dog with the same meaning as using with, but it seems a bit awkward to me.

A: 😃 CASUAL
"You know, since dogs don't usually run away when people come near them, it seems kinda shallow to just call them animals."

😎 PRO
"Considering the tendency of dogs to remain unflustered when approached by humans, it would be an oversimplification to classify them solely as animals."


➡️ Your original sentence is good and conveys the intended meaning effectively.

A: please see my question about what you meant in the second sentence. if I understood correctly, you could not say as long as 7 years old because it doesn't make sense. it would seem like you meant that it is unusually long for a person to go to school up until the age of 7 years old. I'm sure you didn't mean that.

also we would never say as long as X years old

we would say as long as X years

long in this context means how long the span of time is. how many years

when you're talking about how many years old, you're talking about how many years old or young someone or thing is. He is
X years old.

A: I was *going to try* a hot dog at a cafe, cuz *they have it for a* 100 yen discount *off of the* regular price only for this week. But the staff said that it is *not on the menu until* 11:00a.m.

(Or alternatively "it is on the menu starting at 11:00 am"... but the first suggestion I wrote fits better with your passage, because it implies that you have to wait.)

A: I was so engrossed in petting the (if you’re talking about a specific dog, say “the”) dog that I didn't realise (we spell it “realize” in the US, but this one is okay too.) my teacher was standing behind me.

Good job 👍

A: The first one :)

When the dog turned on the child, I had to intervene.

This technically still has the same problem in that you could read it the “wrong” way, but is standard usage. To avoid this you could of course use “attacked” instead.

A: would is used for the present, however the context appears to be someone telling a story, so "could" is better suited for this situation

A: × I can't wait to go home.
✓ I can't wait to go home and see my dog.

× because I have a dog at home.

× I love when the dog welcomes me when I return home.
✓ I love it when (he/she) welcomes me when I return.

You started by telling us that you were going home, and then you told us twice more that the action was taking place at home. This is completely unnecessary. Trust the reader to understand the logic of what you are saying, and try not to repeat things that don’t need to be repeated.

A: × The dog I take care of is not cute
✓ The dog I take care of is not obedient.

× she does not come to me when I call her.
✓ She does not come to me when I call her.

× when I bring the snack , and then she respond.
✓ She only responds when I bring out a snack/treat.

I think the first sentence doesn’t match with the rest, so you can say: “The dog I take care of is not obedient.”

Obedient in this sentence — she does not listen to you


You don’t have to add “treat” in the last sentence, I meant that you can switch out “snack” with “treat” if you want to

A: × A 5 dogs stayed for few days in my house
✓ 5 dogs stayed in my house for a few days

You could say the first option too but this sounds more natural and the “A” wouldn’t be at the beginning for this sentence :)

you could also say “5 dogs stayed at my house”

A: Dogs don't shout. They bark.
Those dogs that are barking are mine.
Those barking dogs are mine.
Those are my dogs that are barking.
