Is it I would love to or too?

The phrase is I would love to or “I’d love to” (not “I would love too” or “I’d love too”) when you’re accepting an offer. For example:

  • Person A: We’re going to the lake tomorrow. Why don’t you come too?
  • Person B: Yes, I would love to.

Here, the word to is part of the full infinitive, but the verb does not need to be repeated (i.e., it’s short for “I would love to come”).

QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker will help you to avoid mistakes with commonly confused words like “to” and “too.”

Is a subordinate clause a dependent clause?

Yes, a subordinate clause is a dependent clause. “Subordinate clause” and “dependent clause” have the same meaning—a group of words that has a subject and a verb but cannot stand alone as a complete sentence.

A subordinate clause is not a complete idea because it begins with a subordinating conjunction (e.g., “when”) or a relative pronoun (e.g., “which”). It needs to be combined with a main clause in a complex sentence (e.g., “After we ate dinner, we watched a show”).

When you’re writing sentences with subordinate clauses, QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker will help you use correct grammar and punctuation.

What type of sentence contains a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses?

A complex sentence contains a main clause and one or more subordinate clauses (aka dependent clauses). The main clause is an independent clause that could be its own simple sentence because it expresses a complete idea and has a subject and a verb.

For example, each of these complex sentences has a main clause in bold.

  • If they make another Spider-Man movie, we have to go see it when it’s at the cinema.
  • The meeting ended abruptly because the Wi-Fi was down.

Is with capitalized in a title?

With is capitalized in a title if you are following APA Style because it is a preposition with four letters or more. With is not capitalized in a title if you are following MLA Style, where all prepositions are lowercase.

If you are using a style guide, check its rules for the capitalization of titles. If you are not following a style guide, then you can choose if you want to capitalize “with” in your titles, but it is important to be consistent.

Consult your style guide to see if you should write headings and subheadings in title case or sentence case.

If you are writing your own book, the QuillBot AI book title generator can help you create polished, correctly capitalized, and attention-grabbing titles for your project.

It is not ever or not never?

The correct phrasing is not ever because not never is a double negative.

For example, one could say “I have not ever been to Paris” or “I haven’t ever been to Paris, but not “I have not never been to Paris” or “I haven’t never been to Paris.”

Mistakes like “not never” sometimes happen when you’re busy writing, but not to worry! QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker can instantly find and fix these errors.

Is ain’t a word?

Yes, ain’t is a word. “Ain’t” is an informal contraction for “is not,” “are not,” “am not,” “do not,” “does not,” “have not” or “has not.” Like double negatives, “ain’t” is part of many English dialects, but it’s not advisable in formal English writing.

For example, if you’re writing a formal essay or communicating at work, it’s better to say “Laughter isn’t always the best medicine” than “Laughter ain’t always the best medicine.”

QuillBot’s free Grammar Checker can help you avoid “ain’t” in formal writing.

  • Australia isn’t nowhere near the US (you can revise this to “is nowhere” or “isn’t anywhere”).
  • We never learned from none of our mistakes (you can revise this by removing “never” or changing “none” to “any”).

What does on my way mean?

If you say “I’m on my way” or “I’m on the way” to someone on your cell phone, it means that you have already started traveling to the place where you’ll meet them (e.g., “Yes, I’m on my way. The bus is coming now, so I’ll see you in about 20 minutes”).

So, in this context “way” means “journey.”
