The most ideal way to frame this sentence would be: I can run faster than he (can). However, 'than he (can)' and 'than him' are both defensible. 'Than him' is less formal and professional. Ideally, 'he' is used if a verb follows it. Look at these examples: I am taller than he is, I eat more than he does, I had more chickens than he had, I want this more than he wants etc. But, 'than he' without a verb following does not appear to be heard very often.

There is an easy test to apply when deciding if you should use ‘I’ or ‘me’ in a sentence. Look at these two sentences: - My father is taking me and my friends out to dinner. - My father is taking my friends and I out to dinner. In this case, the first sentence is correct. The test is to shorten the sentences: - My father is taking me out to dinner. - My father is taking I out to dinner. Now you can easily see that the first version is correct. You would not say: My father is taking I out to dinner. Therefore, you would not say: My father is taking my friends and I out to dinner. A similar test can be applied with the following two sentences: - My friends and I are going out for dinner. - My friends and me are going out for dinner. Just shorten the sentences: - I am going out for dinner. - Me is going out for dinner. You can immediately see that the first version is correct: I am going out for dinner. Therefore, the following is correct: My friends and I are going out for dinner.

When the group is being considered as a whole, it can be treated as a single entity: "the group was ready to go on stage." But when the individuality of its members is being emphasized, "group" is plural: "the group were in disagreement about where to go for dinner."

When we use 'myself', it usually comes at the end of a sentence, and this is true for all the reflexive pronouns - myself, yourself, himself, herself, etc. But, in some cases, it can come in the middle of the sentence. For example: I hate myself for not feeding my dog on time.Me and my friends There is an easy test to apply when deciding if you should use ‘I’ or ‘me’ in a sentence. Look at these two sentences: - My father is taking my friends and me out to dinner. - My father is taking my friends and I out to dinner. In this case, the first sentence is correct. The test is to shorten the sentences: - My father is taking me out to dinner. - My father is taking I out to dinner. Now you can easily see that the first version is correct. You would not say: My father is taking I out to dinner. Therefore, you would not say: My father is taking my friends and I out to dinner. My friends and IA similar test can be applied with the following two sentences: - My friends and I are going out for dinner. - My friends and me are going out for dinner. Just shorten the sentences: - I am going out for dinner. - Me is going out for dinner. You can immediately see that the first version is correct: I am going out for dinner. Therefore, the following is correct: My friends and I are going out for dinner.

In English, there are 3 tenses: PAST, PRESENT and FUTURE. These tenses are further conjugated on the basis of: Simple, Continuous, Perfect and Perfect Continuous. Let us look at the tenses and their structure. Note, in the structure: Subject = S Object = O Verb = V (V1 = present; V2 = past, V3 = future)1. PAST TENSEa. Simple Past: I ate spinach yesterday. Usage: To indicate past habit – or an action that has already been completed. Structure: S + V2 + O b. Past Continuous: I was eating spinach. Usage: To indicate uncompleted action of the past. Structure: S + ‘was/were’ + (V + ing) + O c. Past Perfect: I had eaten spinach when she arrived. Usage: The past perfect refers to a time earlier than before now. It is used to make it clear that one event happened before another in the past. It does not matter which event is mentioned first - the tense makes it clear which one happened first. Structure: S + ‘had’ + V3 + Od. Perfect Continuous: I had been eating spinach when she arrived. Usage: We use the Past Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and continued up until another time in the past. Structure: S + ‘had been’ + (V + ing) + O2. PRESENT TENSEa. Simple Present Tense: I east spinach every day. Usage: 1. To express habits, general truths, repeated actions or unchanging situations, emotions and wishes. 2. To express fixed arrangements, present or future: Your exam starts at 09.00 Structure: S + V1 + Ob. Present Continuous Tense: I am eating spinach. Usage: Action taking place in the moment of speaking Structure: S + ‘am/is/are’ + (V + ing) + Oc. Present Perfect Tense: I have eaten all of the spinach. Usage: The Present Perfect is used to indicate a link between the present and the past. The time of the action is before now but not specified, and we are often more interested in the result than in the action itself. Structure: S + ‘has/have’ + V3 + Od. Present Perfect Continuous: I have been eating spinach since morning. Usage: The present perfect continuous refers to an unspecified time between 'before now' and 'now'. The speaker is thinking about something that started but perhaps did not finish in that period of time. He/she is interested in the process as well as the result, and this process may still be going on, or may have just finished. Structure: S + ‘have/has been’ + (V + ing) + O3. FUTURE TENSESubject = S Object = O Verb = V (V1 = present; V2 = past, V3 = future)a. Simple Future Tense: I will eat spinach tomorrow. Usage: To indicate an action, condition or circumstance that hasn’t happened yet. Structure: S + will + V + Ob. Future Continuous Tense: I will eat spinach. Usage: To indicate what will be going on sometime in future. Structure: S + will be + (V + ing) + Oc. Future Perfect Tense: I will have eaten spinach by the time you arrive. Usage: To indicate an action that will be complete before another event takes place. Structure: S + ‘will have’ + V3 + O d. Future Perfect Continuous Tense: I will have eaten spinach by the time she arrives. Usage: Like the future perfect simple, this form is used to project ourselves forward in time and to look back. It refers to events or actions in a time between now and some future time are unfinished. It is most often used with a time expression. Structure: S + ‘will have been’ + (V + ing) + O

In English, we use 'you' for - tu, aap, etc. There's is no formal or informal way of saying in English. There is only one word for all - You.

The basic rules of forming comparatives: > One syllable words take "-er". Look at these examples: clear -> clearer, sweet -> sweeter > Multisyllable words take "more". Look at these examples: incredible -> more incredible (not "incredibler"), horrible -> more horrible (not "horribler") > Two-syllable words ending in consonant + y take "ier": Look at these examples: happy -> happier, pretty -> prettier Some words can take either -er or 'more': Both "more clear" and "clearer" are acceptable:

The traditional rule is that 'shall' is used with first person pronouns (i.e. I and we) to form the future tense, while 'will' is used with second and third person forms (i.e. you, he, she, it, they). For example: - I shall be late. - They will not have enough food. However, when it comes to expressing a strong determination to do something, the roles are reversed: will is used with the first person, and shall with the second and third. For example: - I will not tolerate such behaviour. - You shall go to the ball! In practice, though, the two words are used more or less interchangeably, and this is now an acceptable part of standard British and American English; however, the word shall is now seldom used in any normal context in American English.

The key to understanding proper usage of these words is learning the difference between restrictive and nonrestrictive relative clauses. Look at this sentence: She held out the hand that was hurt. In this sentence, that is introducing a restrictive relative clause. This is a clause containing essential information about the noun that comes before it. If you leave out this type of clause, the meaning of the sentence is affected—indeed, it will result in either a sentence of doubtful meaning or a sentence that makes no sense at all: She held out the hand. (incorrect) Restrictive relative clauses are typically introduced by that, as well as by whose, who, or whom. Note that in British English, the word which is often used interchangeably with the restrictive that: - She held out the hand which was hurt. The other type of relative clause is a non restrictive relative clause. This kind of clause contains extra information that could be left out of the sentence without affecting the meaning or structure. Nonrestrictive relative clauses can be introduced by which, whose, who, or whom, but you should never use that to introduce them. For example: - A list of contents would have made it easier to steer through the book, which also lacks a map. - She held out her hand, which Rob shook. If you leave out this type of clause, the result is a sentence that may have less information but still makes sense: - A list of contents would have made it easier to steer through the book. - She held out her hand. Note that a nonrestrictive clause is preceded by a comma (setting off the extra information), whereas no comma should precede a restrictive clause (indicating that the information is essential, not extra): - They got into the van, which had Ohio plates. [nonrestrictive] - I was driving the van that had Ohio plates. [restrictive]

Hi, 'uniquely' is an adverb which means - in a very special or unusual way. E.g. He is a uniquely talented singer.
