I don't understand whats being discussed here completely but I can tell you this:

Mayn't is an archaic word which is rarely used in English speech nowadays.

I go to the trouble of deciding whether I must use or not "the" before the words like "Earth" or "Mars"
Anyone can help me?, especially in the above-mentioned cases
Thanks in advance1

Would u tell me where I can use "all of" structure, e.g. which sentences are grammatically wrong:

I hate all of these books
I stayed awake all of the night
All of pains are curable except loneliness

Hello dear friend

At first I have to tell you that the article “the” is used just for “sun” , “earth” and “moon” not for any other planet or star such as this
The sun
The moon
The earth
And using the for mars is not correct
.
“The Mars” is completely wrong but “the earth” is correct.





Have fun

Hello again

You asked for the usage of “all of” as much as I know it is used for these three structures

1- all of + the + noun
Example: all of the children ran away

2- all of +object
Example: all of them came here

3- the term “all of a sudden” means suddenly
Example: all of a sudden it became cloudy and began to rain

I know it has several usages but that was all I knew I wish that it could help you.
According to my structures it seems that the sentence “I hate all of these books” is correct referring to second structure

Your second sentence is also correct referring to structure no 1
All of + the + noun
All of + the + night

But the last sentence doesn’t seem right
If it were “all of the pains” or “ all pains” it could be correct from the grammatical point of view

All of the pains are curable ……
All pains are curable ……..

i don't understand these lines of text about stative & dynamic verbs:
A stative verb is one which asserts that one of its arguments has a particular property (possibly in relation to its other arguments). Statives differ from other aspectual classes of verbs in that they are static; they have no duration and no distinguished endpoint. Verbs which are not stative are often called dynamic verbs.
explain these two topic extender for me with example

ترجمه : افعال stative اون افعالی هستند که یک خاصیت و ویژگی رو به یکی از کلمات جمله نسبت میدن ... (احتمالا این نسبت ، در تناسب با دیگر کلمات جمله هستش) ... تفاوت افعال stative با دیگر انواع افعال اینه که این افعال static هستن ؛ یعنی در طول زمان جاری نیستند - نقطه پایانی ندارند ... افعالی که static نیستند رو dynamic می نامیم .


توضیح : افعال stative اونایی هستن که بجای اینکه رخ دادن یه عملی رو نشون بدن ، دارن یه حالتی رو بیان می کنن ... واسه اینکه خیلی ساده متوجه قضیه بشی توجه کن که معمولا با این افعال نمیشه ing رو آورد ... (چون زمان ندارند - فقط دارن یه حالت رو نشون میدن) .. مثلا I am knowing this !!! ... بی معناس ، چون know یه فعل stative هستش در اینجا و زمان نمی گیره ...


یه روش دیگه هم اینه که نمیشه این افعال رو تحمیل کرد یا به کسی اجبار کرد .. مثلا I forced him to know the answer !!! ... اینم بی معناس ..


از افعالی که معمولا stative هستن : seem - believe - think- containt
