hi everybody welcome back to ask Alicia

the weekly series where you ask me

questions and I answer them maybe first

question this week comes from a new rag

Pratap Singh high on rock on rock says

hey Alisha this is an arrival India

hello could you please tell me the use

of these types of marks question mark

exclamation point and so on used in

combination together could you give some

examples take care

mmm yeah these combinations of question

marks and exclamation points are used in

very casual messages like text messages

or on social media or maybe in very

casual emails so we use these together

like a question mark and an exclamation

point together when we want to express

surprise and shock and a question all at

the same time so some mixture of those

feelings so some examples of when you

might use this could be you forgot my

wedding rings on my wedding day or you

crashed my car so in those kinds of

situations you want to communicate like

shock or a really strong anger and you

want to ask a question so in those cases

we combine our exclamation point with a

question mark so it doesn't matter if

you use exclamation point question mark

or the reverse you can choose the order

that you like some people also choose

for example to use like exclamation

exclamation exclamation question or

maybe they do a question question

question exclamation that's up to you so

they do that for emphasis they feel I

want to emphasize the question part more

or I want to emphasize the shock or

surprise more so that's up to you but

just keep in mind that this is very

casual this is not something that's

officially recognized in style guides

it's not something that you typically

see in like a professionally edited book

or in a magazine it's used in very

casual situations but this is very

common so if you want to communicate a

question and some kind of shock or

surprise or other extreme feeling you

can use these two marks together so I

hope that that

see you thanks very much for the

question okay let's move along to your

next question next question comes from

Peter hi Peter

Peter says hi I have two questions okay

first what's the difference between

replace with and replace by for example

one people replace computers by phones

two people replace computers with phones

three computers are being replaced by or

with phones okay let's stop here let's

start with your first question then we

use replace with when we're talking

about getting a substitute for something

that is old for something that is broken

for something that just requires an

upgrade I replaced my old iPhone with a

new iPhone or we replaced our TV with a

projector screen so in each of those

examples situation something old or

maybe something that needed an upgrade

got replaced with something new so we

use replaced with or to replace with in

these cases when it's something is like

old or broken we use replace by when

something is filling the role of another

thing so this is commonly used when

people change their jobs or they change

their position in some way in society so

when we use a pattern like person a was

replaced by person B it means person a

went away and person B took person a's

place the president was replaced by the

vice president after the scandal company

managers have been replaced by robots so

in both of these examples sentences we

see one person or a group of people

being replaced by something else so that

means that something else is taking the

position or is taking the role of the

person or people mentioned at the

beginning of the sentence so this is the

difference with replaced with or

replaced by your final example sentence

was kind of interesting it was computers

are being replaced by or

phones so it kind of depends on the

nuance that you want to give here I

personally would use computers are being

replaced by phones because I feel that

that kind of communicates that the role

of the computer can be done by a phone

now so maybe like a very old computer

can do the same things that a new phone

can do so we could suggest that a phone

can do those things a phone can be in

the role of an old computer so I think I

would probably use buy in this case

computers can be replaced by phones or

computers are being replaced by phones

as in your example sentence so thanks

very much for that question let's go on

to the second part of your question

which was which is correct or is more

natural

for example people replace their

computer by a phone people replace their

computers by phones you should send an

email through the gmail app you should

send emails through the Gmail app okay

good question

and the answer really depends on the

goal of your communication in general

when you're trying to decide between

using the singular and the plural form

in cases like these if you're speaking

generally use the plural form so to go

back to your example sentence people are

replacing computers with phones would be

correct or send emails using the Gmail

app so using the sentence send an email

with the Gmail app would be ok if you

are talking about one specific email

case like hmm you need to email your

client why don't you send an email with

the Gmail app like test it out try it

out one time if you're talking about a

company rule though send emails meaning

all of your emails please send all of

your emails with the Gmail app so using

the singular means one time using the

plural form means generally speaking

send emails so I hope that this helps

you understand the differences between

using the plural and the singular form

in these cases thanks very much for the

question

okay let's move on to your next question

next question comes from mohammad al

daly hey Mahmoud Mohamed says

transistors proved vital in creating the

practical lasers if I want to translate

the verb proved here would it be correct

to understand it as meaning tested or

are there other possibilities great

question

yeah the verb to prove means to show

evidence for something or to show

evidence that something is true so

another way to say this part of the

sentence this transistors proved vital

would be transistors were shown to be

vital or like we learned that

transistors were vital so vital means

very important and transistors refers to

a part of a machine so that's not so

important for understanding the focus of

this question the verb proved so proof

doesn't really mean test no to answer

your question although it is used in

test situations so in testing situations

or like in experiment situations or when

you're trying something new you need to

test things and ultimately in the end

you want to prove something to show

evidence for something so if you're

doing an experiment you want to explain

the results of your experiments so what

did you learn you can use the verb

proved in cases like these for example

the new software proved useful for our

project our new lessons proved popular

among students so in these sentences

proved means was shown to be or were

shown to be so in the first example

sentence the new software proved useful

for our project means the new software

was shown to be useful or we learned

that the new software was useful for our

project in the second example sentence

about classes proving popular among

students proved there again means shown

to be so our new classes were shown to

be

Buhler among students or we learned that

our new classes were popular among

students so this is what proof is used

to do keep in mind though that this use

of proof tends to sound a little bit

more formal we don't use this so much in

everyday speech you may hear it from

time to time but using proof in this way

makes your speech sound a little more

businesslike so I hope that this helps

you with your understanding of the verb

proof thanks very much for the question

ok let's move on to your next question

next question comes from Daniel

hello again Daniel Daniel says hi Alicia

what's the difference between to get

yourself killed and to kill yourself oh

man this is a great question if it's a

little bit on the dark side let's start

with getting yourself killed

to get yourself killed refers to dying

because you put yourself in a situation

with a high risk of death so the death

comes from outside you something else

kills you in this situation

another person or maybe a natural

disaster something from outside you

kills you that's very bad so to get

yourself killed means you put yourself

in a situation where there was a high

risk of death occurring some examples

don't take the boat out in this storm

you're gonna get yourself killed

or if you're a character in an action

movie don't go alone you'll get yourself

killed

so in this situation get yourself killed

means something from outside your body

is going to kill you in the first

example situation it's a storm and the

advice is don't take the boat out in the

storm you'll get yourself killed

meaning the bad weather may cause you to

die it's a high risk situation in a

second example sentence from something

like an action movie don't go alone

you'll get yourself killed

means if you go by yourself there's a

high risk of death you may die so let's

compare this then to the expression kill

oneself or in your example to kill

yourself to kill yourself means to take

your own life

so that means to

use something in order to end your own

life so this is a very dark expression

yes this is commonly referred to as

suicide

so this verb is used reflexively or

rather this expression is used

reflexively this means that the subject

and the object of the verb are the same

for example he kills himself so he is

the subject and himself is the object

kill is the verb that means he is

causing himself to die so this verb is

reflexively used here this is kind of a

dark one to make some example sentences

about but let's take a look at a couple

if you're having thoughts about killing

yourself

please reach out for help and he killed

himself due to high stress in his life

so in some this is the difference

between to get yourself killed

and to kill yourself to get yourself

killed refers to being in a situation

that has a high risk of death and to

kill oneself refers to taking one's own

life

so I hope that this helps you understand

this thanks very much for the question

ok let's move on to your next question

next question comes from Anurag hi again

on arago I have two questions from you

in this one ok anuraag says hi Alicia

could you please tell me the difference

between suppose to and supposed to and

their pronunciation while speaking do we

have to use the IDI sound while saying

supposed to in sentences yeah good

question and the difference between

suppose to and supposed to is that

supposed to does not exist we don't say

I'm supposed to we always say supposed

to do so the pronunciation here may be

the issue here is that supposed which

ends with a D is connecting to the sound

in to so supposed to slowly but in fast

speech we connect the T and the D sounds

together to make supposed to I'm

supposed to go to the store today I'm

supposed to go to the bank later I'm

supposed to meet with my friend so it

doesn't sound like supposed to we do not

make

those sounds clearly indistinctly we

connect them actually so when you are

speaking as well you can do the same

thing supposed to supposed to so don't

worry about saying supposed to we don't

say that you is supposed to supposed to

so I hope that this helps you thanks

very much for the question okay that is

everything that I have for this week

大家好，欢迎回来问艾丽西亚

的每周系列，你问我

问题，我回答他们也许

本周的第一个问题来自一个新的破

布普拉塔普辛格高在岩石上的岩石说

嘿艾丽莎这是一个到达印度

你好你能告诉我吗

这些类型的标记的使用问号

感叹号等组合使用，

你能举一些例子吗，

小心

嗯，是的，这些

问号和感叹号的组合用于

非常随意的消息，如短信

或社交媒体，或者也许 在非常

随意的电子邮件中，所以

当我们想同时表达

惊讶和震惊以及一个问题

时，我们

将它们一起使用，就像问号和感叹号一样 是你

在我的婚礼那天忘记了我的结婚戒指，还是你

撞坏了我的车，所以在那种

情况下，你想交流，比如

震惊或非常强烈的 nger 并且您

想问一个问题，因此在这些情况下，

我们将感叹号与问号结合起来，

因此无论

您使用感叹号问号

还是相反，您都可以选择

您喜欢的顺序，有些人也

选择 例如使用感叹号

exclamation exclamation question

或者他们可能会做一个 question question

question exclamation 这取决于你所以

他们这样做是为了强调他们觉得我

想更多地强调问题部分

或者我想更多地强调震惊或

惊喜所以就这样了 对你来说，但

请记住，这很

随意 这不是

风格指南中官方认可

的东西 这不是你通常

在专业编辑的书籍

或杂志中看到的东西 它用于非常

随意的情况，但这很

常见 因此，如果您想传达一个

问题以及某种震惊或

惊讶或其他极端的感觉，您

可以将这两个标记一起使用，所以我

希望

看到你非常感谢你的

问题好吧让我们继续你的

下一个问题下一个问题来自

彼得你好

彼得彼得说你好我有两个问题好吧

首先

替换为和替换为例如

一个人用电话替换计算机

两个有什么区别 人们用电话替换计算机

三台计算机正在被替换或替换为

电话 好的，让我们停在这里 让我们

从你的第一个问题开始，然后

当我们谈论用

旧的东西代替因某物而损坏

的东西时，我们使用替换 这只

需要升级 在

这些情况下，当它像

旧的或损坏的

东西时替换为 另一

件事，所以这通常在

人们换工作或

以某种方式在社会中改变自己的位置

时使用，所以当我们使用像人 a 被人 B 取代的模式时，

这意味着人 a

走了，人 B 取代了人 a 的

位置

在丑闻公司

经理被机器人取代后，总裁被副总裁取代，所以

在这两个例句中，我们

看到一个人或一群人

被其他人取代，

这意味着其他人正在担任该

职位或正在 扮演句子

开头提到的一个或多个人的角色，

所以这是

用你的最后一个例句替换或替换的区别

有点有趣，它是计算机

被替换为

电话，所以它有点取决于

你想在这里给出的细微差别我

个人会使用电脑正在

被手机取代，因为我觉得

那种传达

c的角色 计算机现在可以通过电话完成，

所以也许就像一台非常旧的计算机

可以做与新手机一样的事情，

所以我们可以建议手机

可以做这些事情，手机

可以扮演旧计算机的角色，所以我 认为我

可能会在这种情况下使用购买，

计算机可以被电话替换，或者

计算机正在被电话替换，

就像你的例句一样，所以

非常感谢这个问题，让我们

继续你问题的第二部分，

哪个是正确的或 更

自然

，例如人们用

电话替换他们的计算机 人们用电话替换他们的

计算机 您应该

通过 gmail 应用程序发送电子邮件 您应该

通过 Gmail 应用程序发送电子邮件 好的

好问题

，答案实际上

取决于您在 一般

当您尝试在此类情况下决定

使用单数和复数形式时

，如果您正在讲话，

通常使用复数形式，以便

回到您的例句 people a

用手机替换计算机是

正确的，或者使用 Gmail

应用程序发送电子邮件

，因此如果您

正在谈论一个特定的电子邮件

案例，比如嗯，您需要给您的客户发送电子邮件，

为什么不使用这句话使用 Gmail 应用程序发送电子邮件就可以了 您使用 Gmail 应用程序发送一封电子邮件，

例如测试一下，

如果您谈论的是公司规则，请尝试一次，

尽管发送电子邮件意味着

您的所有电子邮件请

使用 Gmail 应用程序发送您的所有电子邮件，因此

使用单数意味着一个 使用

复数形式的时间通常意味着

发送电子邮件，所以我希望这可以帮助

您了解在这些情况下

使用复数形式和单数形式之间的区别

非常感谢您的

问题

好吧让我们继续您的下一个问题

下一个问题来自穆罕默德 al

daly hey Mahmoud Mohamed 说

，

如果我想翻译

这里证明的动词，晶体管在制造实用激光方面被证明是至关重要的，将其

理解为意义测试是否正确 还是

有其他可能性很好的

问题

是的动词证明意味着

证明某事的证据或

证明某事是真实的所以

另一种说法这

句话的这一部分晶体管证明至关重要

将是晶体管被证明是

重要的或类似的 我们了解到

晶体管是至关重要的，因此至关重要意味着

非常重要，而晶体管是指

机器的一部分，因此

对于理解这个问题的重点并不那么重要，

动词证明了，所以证明

并不意味着测试不回答

你的问题，尽管它 用于

测试情况，因此在测试情况

或类似实验情况下，或者当

您尝试新

事物时，您需要测试事物，最终

您想证明某事以显示

某事的证据，因此如果您正在

做一个实验 你想解释

你的实验结果，所以

你学到了什么你可以

在这些情况下使用证明的动词，

例如新软件 p 证明对我们的项目很有用

我们的新课程证明

在学生中很受欢迎 所以在这些句子中

证明手段被证明是或被

证明是这样 在第一个

例句中新软件证明

对我们的项目有用意味着新软件

被证明是有用的 或者我们

在第二个例句

中了解到

新软件对我们

的项目有用 在

学生中，所以这就是用来做证明的方法

请记住，虽然这种

证明的使用听起来

有点正式，但我们在

日常演讲中不会经常使用它，您可能会不时听到它，

但使用证明 这样可以

让你的演讲听起来更

有条理所以我希望这可以帮助

你理解动词

证明非常感谢你的问题

好的让我们继续吧 你的下一个问题

下一个问题来自 Daniel

你好 Daniel Daniel 说你好

Alicia 杀死自己和杀死自己的区别是什么

杀死自己是指死亡，

因为您将自己置于

死亡风险很高的情况下，因此死亡

来自您外部

，在这种情况下

另一个人或自然

灾害

会杀死您 让

自己被杀意味着你将自己

置于死亡风险很高的情况下

一些例子

不要在这场风暴中把船开出去

你会让自己被杀

或者如果你是动作

片中的角色 不要一个人去，你会

被杀，

所以在这种情况下，让自己被杀

意味着

在第一个

示例情况下，你身体外部的东西会杀死你 暴风雨，

建议不要在暴风雨中把船开出去，

你会弄死自己，

这意味着恶劣的天气可能会导致你

死亡

一个人去，

你会让自己被杀，这

意味着如果你自己去，

你可能会死的风险很高，所以让我们

把这个与表达

自杀或在你的例子中杀死

自己杀死自己的意思进行比较

这意味着

使用某些东西来结束自己的

生命所以这是一个非常黑暗的表达

是的这通常被称为

自杀

所以这个动词是反身使用的，

或者这个表达是

反身使用的 这意味着主语

和宾语 动词是一样

的，例如他杀了自己，所以他

是主语，他自己是宾语

kill 是动词，意思是他正在

使自己死去，所以这个动词

在这里被反身使用，这是一种

黑暗的说法 我的

例句，但是让我们看看一对夫妇，

如果你有自杀的念头，

请伸出援手，

他因为生活中的高压力而自杀了，

所以在某些情况下，这

就是让自己被杀

和 杀死自己

杀死自己是指

处于死亡风险很高的情况下

杀死自己是指自杀

所以我希望这能帮助你理解

这一点 非常感谢这个问题

好的 让我们继续 你的下一个问题

下一个问题来自 Anurag hi 再次

在 arago 上我有两个问题要问你

，好吧 anuraag 说你好 Alicia

你能告诉我

假设和应该是之间的区别以及

他们说话时的发音我们

是否必须使用 IDI

听起来应该在句子中说是的好

问题，并且

假设和应该之间的区别是

应该不存在我们不说

我应该对我们 总是说应该

这样做 这里的发音可能是

这里的问题是那个

以 D 结尾的假设连接到声音

，所以应该慢慢地但是在快速的

语音中，我们将 T 和 D 的声音

连接在一起，使应该 我

今天应该去商店

我应该稍后去银行 我

应该和我的朋友见面 所以

听起来不像应该 我们不会

发出

那些声音 模糊不清 我们

实际上将它们联系起来 所以当你

说话的时候你也可以做同样的

事情应该做所以不要

担心说应该我们不会

说你应该做

所以我希望这对你有帮助

非常感谢 问题好吧，这
