    forum.wordreference.com/threads/jump-on-in-car-motorbike.3289749

    The company I'm working for, has come up with a car and motorbike sharing programme for its employees. An app is also a part of this programme. Nowadays in Italy almost everything done, made and produced includes, somewhere, one English word, at least, to make it look better than what it actually is, to make it appear "cooler" or "trendier" and ...

  3. You've got a car, don't you / haven't you? - WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/youve-got-a-car-dont-you-havent-you.2343873

    Jan 28, 2012. #6. Since AE makes a distinction between "got" and "gotten," I would not expect to hear the second sentence in AE: It would be, "You've gotten [obtained, acquired] a new car, haven't you?" In AE, "You've got a new car" doesn't mean that you have come into possession of one, but simply that you have one. "got" = "have" seems ...

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/en-too-funny-not-to-share.3084946

    Oct 20, 2015. #3. La différence n'est pas tant une question de temps que de sens. Dans ce contexte, for not sharing donnerait l' origine, la raison pour laquelle ce serait too funny. Avec not to share, c'est le contraire ; c'est plutôt la conséquence de too funny. too funny for not sharing = trop drôle de ne pas partager / avoir partagé.

  5. the driver's door / the car door [possessive apostrophe]

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/the-drivers-door-the-car-door-possessive...

    Feb 21, 2017. #12. We don't say "driver door" because it's not "the door of the driver" but a reduction of "driver's side door" or "the door on the side of the driver of the car". We also don't say "driver license" but "driver's license" because that's the way we say it. Unless we're from somewhere that says "driving licence" instead.

  6. VTC - voiture de tourisme avec chauffeur - WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/vtc-voiture-de-tourisme-avec-chauffeur.2912782

    Oct 20, 2014. #1. Hello, I'm looking for the translation in English of "VTC". A VTC is a kind of taxi. The difference with the taxi is that the VTC doesn't have the taxi licence and uses a private car. The VTC has a specific license, he must be registrated. VTC are professionals. Ubber website uses the word "private car" but I'm not sure it's ...

  7. comparison of -ly adverbs [softly, more softly, most softly]

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/comparison-of-ly-adverbs-softly-more-softly...

    Feb 18, 2015. #2. Words that are both adjectives and adverbs behave the same way: She wants a faster car; She ran faster and faster. Adverbs formed with -ly (and which therefore can't have only one syllable) don't add endings: She spoke more softly, and touched it more gently. cross:softlier, gentlier) However, adjectives formed this way do ...

  8. For the time being & For a while - WordReference Forums

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/for-the-time-being-for-a-while.1475376

    Here is the difference. "For the time being" implies that a change is anticipated or possible in the future, and that the present state is only temporary. The future change may be for the better or the worse. "For a while" merely refers to a short length of time, and does not imply any change (although a change may occur, it is not implied).

  9. A car <runs><goes><drives><travels> on a road - WordReference...

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/a-car-runs-goes-drives-travels-on-a-road.3564096

    1. A car runs on a road. 2. A car goes on a road. 3. A car drives on a road. 4. A car travels on a road. I believe no.3 and no.4 are right, but my friend says ‘a car won’t drive itself’, so I should say ‘a car is driven on a road’.

  10. That's a nice and isn't expensive car. Tag question?

    forum.wordreference.com/threads/thats-a-nice-and-isnt-expensive-car-tag...

    That's a nice and isn't expensive car, There is something wrong with the basic sentence - "isn't" can't be right. The form of the tag question depends on the main verb in the sentence. It generally negates the verb and follows it with an appropriate pronoun.
