Buttplug has the fifth best odds on the Dem side already.
Oh look, derp made yet another alt.

Buttplug has the fifth best odds on the Dem side already.
Was my post about alts?
No.
It was about re-quoting someone who didn't respond to you.
I don't care if people have alts. Sometimes they're funny.
semen shielding for derp.

What a surprise.
makes sense
what's your question?
Who's this? Did you meet her at a tea party rally?
Regarding the topic of this thread, a candidate who's going to revive the gay marriage debate as America's front and center issue the way it was in 2004 is about as bad as it can get for Dems. He seems like a plenty articulate guy but he's got all in terms of experience.
It would be entertaining though if we got to see Trump's commentary on the gay guy he's running against
I didn't have a question. Usually when people ask questions they write a sentence with a question mark at the end. ; )
It's called a meme. Are you familiar with the concept?
(take note 21; this is a question ^)
Many beginning to lower intermediate students are do well expressing themselves in positive and negative sentences. However, they often run into problems when asking questions. This is due to a number of causes:
Teachers usually ask questions in class so students don't get enough practice.
Inversion of the auxiliary verb and subject can be especially tricky for many students.
Present simple and past simple require helping verbs whereas positive sentences do not.
Students are unsure of what they should ask.
Cultural interference such as the desire not to ask direct questions as it is considered impolite in a student's culture.
This simple lesson focuses specifically on the question form and helps students gain skill while switching tenses in the question form.
Aim: Improving speaking confidence when using question forms
Activity: Intensive auxiliary review followed by providing questions for given answers and student gap question exercises.
Level: Lower-intermediate
Outline:
Focus on auxiliary verb usage by making a number of statements in tenses the students are familiar with. Ask students to identify the auxiliary verb in each case.
Ask a student or students to explain the underlying scheme of the object question form (i.e., ? word Auxiliary Subject Verb). Have students give a number of examples in different tenses.
Distribute the worksheet to students in class.
Focus on the use of time expressions as key to understanding correct tense usage with the gap fill exercise.
Ask students to complete the first exercise on their own.
Write a few sentences on the white board. Ask which questions might have elicited this answer. For example: I usually take the subway to work. -> Possible questions: How do you get to work? How often do you take the subway to work.
Split students up into pairs. The second exercise asks students to provide a suitable question for the response given. Each group should come up with possible questions.
Follow-up check of questions either by circulating through the student pairs or as a group.
Ask students to each take the second exercise (one for Student A the other for Student B) and complete the gaps by asking their partner for the missing information.
Solidify question forms by quickly playing a verb inversion game using the various tenses (i.e., Teacher: I live in the city. Student: Where do you live? etc.).
Practice some small talk focusing on basic questions.

The basic rule for asking questions in English is straightforward: Invert the order of the subject and the first auxiliary verb.
It is snowing. = Is it snowing?
He can speak German. = Can he speak German?
They have lived here a long time. = Have they lived here a long time?
She will arrive at ten o'clock. = Will she arrive at ten o'clock?
He was driving fast. = Was he driving fast?
You have been smoking. = Have you been smoking?
If there is no auxiliary, use part of the verb 'to do'.
You speak fluent French. = Do you speak fluent French?
She lives in Brussels. = Does she live in Brussels?
They lived in Manchester. = Did they live in Manchester?
He had an accident. = Did he have an accident?
Most questions with question words are made in the same way:
How often does she use it?
Why don't you come?
Where do you work?
How many did you buy?
What time did you go?
Which one do you like?
Whose car were you driving?
Note who, what and which can be the subject. Compare:
Who is coming to lunch? (who is the subject of the verb)
Who do you want to invite to lunch? (you is the subject of the verb)
What happened? (what is the subject of the verb)
What did you do? (you is the subject of the verb)
Note the position of the prepositions in these questions:
Who did you speak to?
What are you looking at?
Where does he come from?

Yes, but I’ve never seen that one before.
yep. that meme typically says
wat?
that would be a question.
unless you just posted that picture because you like the lady
Just refer to my links if you are still confused about punctuation.
nothing to do with punctuation. you had a quote from buttigieg followed by the "wat?" meme.
wat(?) didnt make sense to you from that quote?
I didn't have a question. Usually when people ask questions they write a sentence with a question mark at the end. Just refer to my links if you are still confused about punctuation.
it's not a punctuation issue.
so what was the purpose of posting the wat? meme if you didnt have a question? do you just like the lady?
why are you being so evasive? you posted a quote and then that picture. what did you mean by that picture? it's an honest inquiry
I posted the meme because I thought it was funny. Why do you post memes? (<<<actual question)
memes have meanings attached to them.
maybe you didnt know that. here's what that meme you posted typically refers to
https://meme.fandom.com/wiki/Wat
https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wat
usually confusion, or in response to something that you find to be incoherent.
did you post that picture for another reason? i dont get why you're being so evasive. you posted a quote from buttigieg followed by that meme, and no other words. you dont even care to explain what you meant by that post or what the purpose of it was? why? such a weird thing to shut down over
Sorry, question pending.
i use memes because memes are a funny way of expressing a thought. memes have meaning to them. the wat meme you posted has a certain meaning to it. i'm sure you know that.
now, what exactly did you mean by that post, and why are you so terrified of explaining your own post?
Me too. : )
lol, i edited it.
