Hello. I will appreciate it if a native speaker of English will help me with several questions.
1)is the article used in the phrase: "go on (a?)protest";
2)is it possible to say: "the plan is aiming" or is it "aims";
3) is it possible to say: "to reload" relations (between countries) or is it "reset"?
Thank you very much.
It would be much better (much more accurate) if I could read the complete sentences or even two or three sentences in which each of these phrases are used. Out of context, it's often very hard, if not impossible, to tell.
Hello! I'll be happy to help you with your questions.
1) In the phrase "go on (a?) protest," the article "a" is typically used before the word "protest." So, it would be correct to say "go on a protest." However, in certain contexts, the article may be omitted, particularly in informal spoken English. It would still be grammatically acceptable to say "go on protest," but it may sound more natural to include the article.
2) Both "the plan is aiming" and "the plan aims" are grammatically correct, but they convey slightly different meanings. "The plan aims" suggests that the main purpose or objective of the plan is to achieve something specific. On the other hand, "the plan is aiming" suggests that the plan is currently in the process of aiming or targeting something, implying ongoing action or intention.
3) Both "to reload" and "to reset" can be used when referring to improving or restoring relations between countries. However, they convey slightly different meanings. "To reload" implies a continuation or renewal of existing relations, while "to reset" suggests starting over or establishing new relations from scratch. The choice between the two would depend on the specific context and what you want to emphasize.
I hope that helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.
