between them and it doesn't make sense if we replace them casually.

7Q5|!v3m9H;YEnglish learners' Forum英语论坛#A6l(y(y7]
答: 虽然这些词意义相近,但还是有细微的差别,所以不可以随意替换。如果你bbs.englishcn.com4A7K8|(x9O+u0b*i-S
是用make from来描述“制造”这个动作的，在制成品中通常看不出原料，如：

制成品通常是由很多材料混合而成。有时，其用法也可等同于compose或consist，表示“由……组成”。例如：The City of Shanghai is made up of ten districts.

Answer: No, we can only use present perfect tense in the sentence    you mentioned.    "It is    the first (second, etc.) time+ that    clause" is a fixed structure and we can only use     perfect tense in its subordinate clause. If the main clause appears    in past tense, the subordinate clause must be in past    perfect tense form. E.g. It was the second    time I had been    there.     "It is (about/high) time + that clause" is another    fixed form and we can only use past tense in the    subordinate clause. bbs.englishcn.com,S8r i-?!h$T+G3X

Answer: Nouns for nationality that end with -ses, -ch, or -sh may be singular or plural depending on their meanings. Some of these words are Chinese, French, English, etc. When the word refers to a language, it takes a singular verb. When the word refers to the people of the country, it takes a plural verb and is preceded by the article "the".

Question 30: As we all know, a verbal adjective can take the form of either the present participle (-ing) or the past participle (-ed). Then how to decide which form I should apply?
3K9w6?(Y3s3T"f(J4A.t.Qbbs.englishcn.combbs.englishcn.com.[4F,]5s"g
Answer: When the noun that is being described is actively "doing" the action, the present participle is used as the verbal adjective. But when the noun is the receiver of the action and is passively having something done to it, the past participle is used.
