"I LOVE YOU" and I think that's pretty standard by your standards!

It's different from (different than is wrong). I should know, since I was born in Burma "different than" Myanmar hehe. Btw the spelling "Myanmar" is actually wrong. It should be Mranma, but the chinese can't pronounce "r" correctly, so the military junta is just being easy on the chinese hehe

4. In English, there can be mistakes or no mistakes. It depends on your way of viewing English as a language. Since there is no academy of English, we only have our formal literatures and discourses as a means of what is most ofen in use. As the presenter here said, Natives are usually the best way to seek an answer. In reality, there is no right or wrong. No correct or incorrect. However, there is most used, rarely used and or not used at all.

3. As in the two boxes are different from each other. But not, different than each other. However, if you wanted to talk about degree of difference, "than" would work in formal and informal English. Box A is slightly different than Box B. It is not wrong to say from or than; however this is specific to this particular adjective (different). If you use a color, or other such adjective, than clearly [than] is the only option. The ball is bigger than the box.

2.The subtle differenceS comes into question on account of other comparative structures, regional usage and syntax. A basic comparative structure is adjective + suffix [er] + more/less + (conjunction) than. E.G. the ball is bigger than the box. This stucture is why people tend to the same conjunction with the adjective "different", as it is used to compare. Hence, the ball is different than the box. If you say, it is different from the box, this Could mean it is totally distinct.

1. Actually, there are different standards of English. There is Great British English, American English, Australian English and so fourth. What one would say in New Zealand one would most likely not say in Oregon, USA; likewise for England or a place such as Hong Kong.
In reference to "different than/from." Both are standard English. There is no argument there. Both FROM AND THAN ARE ACCEPTABLE, IN/FORMAL ENGLISH.

so native speakers never say "can you borrow me the book?"? i dont get it. what is wrong and what would be correct?
HonDouglas 4 years ago
"Can you barrow me the book" could sound right depending on region and accent. For example, around here its a common mistake made by Spanish speaking people, but its used so much its just an accepted way to say it.
Noah2112 4 years ago
Yeah, after I thought about that after I said it - maybe that is correct somewhere, like you say.

It should be "Can you lend me the book?" or "Can I borrow the book?"
