Maybe I don't have much practice in speaking and reading in English and therefore I feel insecure😅. for your today's lesson, my suggestion: I decided to cook a brownie with pumpkin, which is one of the symbols of Halloween (maybe not quite right and that's why I'm a little nervous😅😅😂😂😢)

Regarding last sentence, I had thought 'that' was the answer as my reasoning was that they are pointing out specifically that particular gym and not another one there might be in the same neighbourhood or anywhere else in the city.
I knew "that" referring to things or animals and "who" only to humans. "Which" would be "il quale" in Italian "la qual cosa" but I think it's often interchangeable with "what". Whose "di cui" "di cosa". It refers to something that "belongs to". I also would have written "to whom" ... But I have also noticed that many people tend to use "who" instead and the use of "whom" is enough rare.

Sir Could you plz clarify MY confusion about these two phrases--- During those days or In those days,which one is perfectly correct to use,Sir????
@swicheroo1
Жыл бұрын
They are both correct, depending upon the context. 'During' suggests that you are speaking about a continuous action that occurred in a specific interim: 'During my days teaching, I was continuously frustrated by students' tardiness' suggests that this is a continual frustration that happened many times over the interval. 'In those days teaching, I was frustrated by students' tardiness' is subtly different in the way it engages our understanding of time: This phrasing suggests that you are taking a broad view of a specific point in time. FWIW: I hold a PhD in English and have been a university professor of English Literature in the USA, though I'm not sure why I'm being suggested this channel.

This video seems to imply that the Bernard Shaw sentence below would be better if it had used “that” rather than “which”. But I think the sentence is fine just the way it is. “We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one which we preach but do not practise, and another which we practise but seldom preach.”
