Foreword

Assalamu'alaikum. Welcome to this plain, mediocrely designed hut of mine. I love to write, and this is where I write. Things that I write, there might be mistakes in them. I seek refuge in Allah swt for me and you from the harm my writing may bring. Any good from it, may He swt reward me for that and spread the good to others. Any words that appear displeasing to you, don't take it to heart for I don't intend to hurt anyone in any way. Any advices I put forward, may Allah swt give me the taufiq to first act upon them, for they might testify against me in the hereafter. Jazakallah Khair.

KauBoLEh (4)

This time around I think I'll go miscellaneous, since it's getting kinda tricky to group the parts into specific clusters.


Negative Statements with 'since', 'for', and 'in':

Ex1. Sara hasn't worked in the US since 1998.

Ex2. Edward hasn't seen his parents for a year. OR Edward hasn't seen his parents in a year.

Ex3. Sara felt bad for not giving him a chance to explain.

Ex4. Edward was sorry for not being able to be sincere.


Note: We often say 'in ages' to mean 'in a long time.'

Ex. Hi Sara! I haven't heard from you in ages! OR Hi Sara! I haven't heard from you for ages!
