  1. Johnson thinks that change in the English language is good. He thinks that the man who spends his time thinking will come up with good ideas and these will need new words. He also refers to the men who do not have much time to speculate but will turn ideas into popular opinions; these will also create new practices and, as a result,  new words will be created. These ideas are from these lines : "Those who have much leisure to think ....... proportion as it alters practice."
  2. He thinks language change should not be stopped. " As by the cultivation of various sciences, a language is amplified, it will be more furnished with words deflected from their original sense..". Johnson thinks that change cannot be stopped, though. There are many factors, internal and external, that make language change. He says that he will not be able to comply with what many schoolars have asked from him: to stop any language alteration.

In a group discussion, a participant says, "Frida Kahlo would never have given up on art." How would you respond to share your v
Semenov [28]

Answer:

I also agree with this statement because the only thing Frida Kahlo had was art. As you know, she suffered a trolley-car accident and art was her only salvation. So, we could say that painting helped Frida to express her feelings and overcome the hardest moments in her life.

Explanation:

Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) was the most famous Mexican painter, thanks to her portraits, self-portraits, and paintings inspired by Mexican nature, history, and society.

She was attending medical school until a traffic accident, which made her partially disabled and caused her a lot of physical pain and health problems.

The painting was her only distraction from her health and private problems, which was also was confirmed with her numerous quotes about art, as:

“Painting completed my life”, “The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration”, etc.

Where should the comma be placed in the following sentence? it looks like they will be champions again the reporter said?
lesya692 [45]
The correct puntuation is shown in this sentence: “It looks like they will be champions again”, the reporter said. When you have to use direct speech in a sentence, remember to put the comma before the final quotation mark, like it is shown in example. Keep in mind, that it is a rule used for the cases when direct speech is put at he beginning of a sentence.
