- Welcome back to Single Step English! 🌟 In today's lesson, we'll be diving into a commonly used phrase: "care if I join you?" This versatile phrase is perfect for politely asking permission to join someone in an activity or conversation. Let's explore its nuances together! 💬
So, let's dissect the phrase "care if I join you?" First, we have "care," indicating concern or interest. Then, "if" introduces a condition or possibility. Finally, "I join you" is a polite way of asking to accompany someone. 🤝
Now, let's see this phrase in action with a couple of sample sentences:
🗣️ "Hey, I'm heading to the park to play some basketball. Care if I join you?"
Here's a scenario where this phrase comes in handy: Imagine you're in a crowded school cafeteria or café with no available tables. You need to sit with another group of people because there are no seats. This is the perfect moment to ask... 👉 "Care if I join you?" 👉 Or, a more polite alternative could be... 👉 "May I join you?" 👉 Which essentially means, "May I eat at the same table as you?"
Remember, this phrase is all about being polite and respectful, making it suitable for various social situations. Let's practice saying it together: 🗣️ "Care if I join you?"
Now that you've mastered the phrase "care if I join you?" keep practicing, and soon it'll roll off the tongue naturally. 🎉

Used with plural nouns and pronouns.

NEITHER

Ahmed...
Here is my answer for "NONE OF."
The form of the verb after "none of" can be either singular or plural, and the choice often depends on the context and whether the noun that follows "none of" is singular or plural.
Here are some guidelines to help determine which form to use:
Singular Verb Form
Use a singular verb when "none of" refers to an uncountable noun or when the focus is on the singular aspect of the noun phrase.
Use a singular verb when "none of" is followed by a singular noun or a singular pronoun.
Examples:
1) None of the information is accurate.
2) None of the money was spent.
Plural Verb Form
Use a plural verb when "none of" refers to a plural noun or when the focus is on the individual items in the group.
Use a plural verb when "none of" is followed by a plural noun or a plural pronoun, especially in informal speech or when the emphasis is on the members of the group.
Examples:
1) None of the students are in the classroom.
2) None of the cookies were left on the plate.
Let me know if you have any more questions!
"A" and "An"
Meaning: "A" and "An" are used to refer to any one item or person of a particular type when it is not specific which one.
When to Use "A":
Use "a" before words that start with a consonant sound.
Examples: a book, a cat, a university (because "university" starts with a "yoo" sound).
When to Use "An":
Use "an" before words that start with a vowel sound.
Examples: an apple, an hour (because "hour" starts with an "ow" sound).
Usage Tips:
Use "a" and "an" when you are talking about something for the first time or something that is not specific.
Example: I saw a dog in the park. (any dog, not a specific one)
"The"
Meaning: "The" is used to refer to specific items or people that both the speaker and listener know about.
Advice:
Use "the" when talking about something specific or something that has been mentioned before.
Example: I saw a dog in the park. The dog was playing with a ball. (both the speaker and listener know which dog)
Use "the" when there is only one of something.
Example: The sun is shining. (there is only one sun)
Summary
A/An: Used for any one item (not specific).
"A" before consonant sounds: a car, a house.
"An" before vowel sounds: an elephant, an umbrella.
The: Used for specific items or something already mentioned.
The cat on the roof is mine.
The book you gave me was great.
Sorry if this explanation was a little long.
