Before adding to the Anki app
Please correct all the expressions appearing here. I want to make sure they are exact because they will be shown quite often on my Anki app, an app that helps with memorization, so I don't want to be learning from weird expressions. I am kind of a serious student of English writing ;)
"helping others learning" would be a viable option. However, the phrase is used only by a tenth of the number of people who use "helping others learn". (From Google search, I can see that 'helping others learn' appears ten times more often than 'helping others learning'.)
List expressions asking to transfer a call to someone else (formal/informal).
Give expressions explaining the reason why you are calling in two ways.
1. A simpler way to explain.
2. In case you are calling because someone has called before.
List expressions asking someone to wait for a short period of time. (formal/informal)
List expressions of replying if someone asks to transfer the call to the other when the person is absent. (2)
Please correct all the expressions appearing here.
'appearing' is redundant in the sentence
I want to make sure they are exact because they will be shown quite often on my Anki app, an app that helps with memorization, so I don't want to be learning from weird expressions.
"helping others' learning" would be a viable option.
this phrase is fine when spoken out loud, but grammatically you want the ' after others because you are referring to 'learning' as a noun in the possession of "others". The learning of others = others' learning.
However, the phrase is used only by a tenth of the number of people who useonly used 1/10th as often as "helping others learn".
Phrasing sounded awkward, but the meaning was there. The correction is meant to be read out loud like: "The phrase is only used one tenth as often as "helping others learn"."
(From Google search, I can see that 'helping others learn' appears ten times more often than 'helping others' learning'.)
List expressions asking to transfer a call to someone else (formal/informal).
Give 2 different expressions explaining the reason why you are calling in two ways.
1. A simpler way to explaination.
I'm not quite sure I understand this part - it may be the lack of context. Is this part of the previous prompt of explaining why you are calling?
2. In case yYou are calling because someone has called before.
Since you have the list "2." point I don't think the 'In case' is necessary to add, the list already implies that there are different cases/scenarios.
List 2 different expressions tof replying if to someone if they asks to transfer the call to the other when the, but the requested person is absent.
- I assume that (2) meant 2 different replies/responses?
- I haven't used Anki before, so I have been changing the 'list/give expressions' to include the number ('list 2 expressions'), so that the reader is given clearer instructions. If the app already does this, feel free to ignore those changes!
- 'transfer the call' already implies another person, so you don't need to add 'to the other'
Feedback
I found all of the expressions' meanings were easy to interpret, but some of the wording felt unnatural. If i misinterpreted anything, please let me know!
