A: En inglés usamos ambos de forma intercambiable. Pero hay una pequeña diferencia...

Por ejemplo:

"Jane sat opposite me."

"Jane sat in front of me."

Si 'Jane sat opposite me' ella está sentada en frente de mí... entonces su cuerpo y cara se enfrente a mí.

Si ella está sentada 'in front of me' está sentada delante de mí. solo veo la parte de atrás de su cabeza.

Espero que tenga sentido.

En inglés:

If Jane is sat opposite me then her body and face, faces me. I can see her face.

If she is sat in front of me then I see the back of her head.

I hope that makes sense for you. They are very similar!

Good question though :)

A: @native711 "She's standing in front of him" is a more common way of saying it.

"Standing before him." DOES mean "in front of" but most people don't say that because it's a very old saying and was used in medieval times. So, if you were to say "She was standing before him" that would normally mean she was standing up first.

A:
Hi Tatyana. You could call me Mike if you like: my name is Michael, and it's my preferred short form :)
I hope it's good that work keeps you busy: I suppose that depends on how you feel about the work, and on busy being pleasantly busy and not too overloaded.
I'm glad that my explanation helped: it's hard to know if an explanation makes things clearer or less clear!

You are right about the uses of the -ing form, tenses with a continuous (or progressive) aspect: these are for when you want to stress or bring out the continuing nature of an action over a period of time.

In the present tense, of course, the continuous aspect also signals that the action is not yet complete. "Finish your report." "I am finishing it!" This means that I am working on it now and am nearing completion, but have not yet finished it. As soon as the report is finished, we can say "I have finished it!" (Or "I've finished!") The present perfect here signals that the action is recently completed. We know that it has an influence in the present, too, as we are still responding to the person who wanted to know if we had finished.

Your example questions:

"We stayed there for two weeks (past not connected with now)." This is perfect - in the sense that this is correct!

"We have stayed there for 2 weeks ( meaning just recently, can I use there in this case?)" You can use this exacly like this, but it's better to adjust it a little: as it is it looks like a mistake in choice of tense. Normally, this would be better in the simple past: "We stayed there for two weeks."

But you could find these words, in specific cases:
"I expect that you've never spent a night in Russia." "We have stayed there, for 2 weeks last year (or some specific time in the past.)" Then the "have" is an emphatic rejection of the assumption in the previous statement. In this context this is OK.

"We have been staying here for 2 weeks (means I am still at the place)." This is exactly right (correct, perfect!)

Often, we would simplify this and leave out the "staying". "We've been here for two weeks." The "staying" is implied by the "being", so to speak! If you meet someone, who asks "How long have you been here?" or ""Have you been here long?" then you can reply "We've been here for two weeks. "

But if you are talking about a hotel or some place that you are living in - a rented apartment, a friend's house - then you could well say exactly "We have been staying here for two weeks." In this use, the "staying" implies sleeping at that place for those two weeks. The action is continuous in the grammatical sense that you have slept there every night for the two weeks (and are still due to sleep there at least tonight) but obviously not continuous in the logical sense of sleeping all the time: clearly you'd normally spend a lot of the day awake, and probably out of the hotel and doing things!

"I had stayed there for two weeks before he came (means that I would like to mention about my stay before)." This is all correct. This would be part of a narration moslty told in the simple past tense. Again, unless you are talking about a hotel or other residence you would probably leave out the "staying." "I had been there for two weeks before he arrived / came."

You're welcome! But lack of patience, as my wife ocasionally reminds me, is one of my bigger weaknesses, usually - along with answering too fully! i hope this has made sense, and has not left you more confused than before!

Mike

A: Vérifiez la question pour voir la réponse

A: "How long can I take a break without paying?" < correct sentence 😉

A: 'In front of the temple, there was a big statue of Buddha, which was made of gold.'
or
'In front of the temple, there was a big gold statue of Buddha.'

The first sentence is more formal than the first, and would work better in written English. The second is more simplified/colloquial. :)

A: Is it possible to change his swimming time? A later time is better for us (actually).

A: Another way to say it would be, "I think my friends are waiting inside. Is it ok if I look for them?"

A: 'On the [something] front' means 'With regards to the [something]'. So like 何何について。
