Preguntas sobre ejemplos de oraciones con, y la definición y uso de "Banks"

A: It is a show on Netflix (A platform for watching shows and movies)

A:

顧客のサポートをもっと上手になる。

Become more skilled at helping customers\clients\people.

My Japanese is bad, sorry if wrong.

A: This “bank” is a river bank. He’s kneeling beside the edge of the river.

A: M. O. Stands for modus operandi.

So let’s just say the usual M. O. for a thief is to sneak through a window, steal jewelry and sneak out undetected. (I’m just saying an example. I’m sure there’s a better explanation of what a thief does)

So since the M O was the same in each robbery, they can conclude that it was the same person doing the robberies.

A: "It's not as if" is useful. It makes the falseness of the remainder of the sentence more obvious. It also is useful if others are behaving as if or seem to believe that (e.g.) "McDonalds is the only place to eat."

"You are speaking as if McDonalds is the only place we can eat. McDonalds is not the only place we can eat. Let's go to a vegetarian place."

Using "it's not as if" shortens that to two sentences.

A: Do you mean 2 banks and 1 venture capital company?

Meanwhile, the grammar of that sentence is already quite correct. I suggest you remove the numbers in the parenthesis to make it more formal.

You can say:

“I worked in 2 banks and 1 venture capital company for two years before joining the company.”

“I worked in (name of bank#1) and (name of bank#2), and in a VC company called (name of VC) within a span of two years before joining the company.”

You can use the phrase “within a span of” to make it clear that you had 3 jobs within the 2 years.

A: @Kcsam Is it the same that "are there any banks open today"?

A: usually formal/informal,for at,context.
I.e all banks will remain closed on Monday.
all of the banks will remain closed on Monday.
but it could also be used in a sentence like "all banks do is entrap you with loans to make you a modern day slave.
again,depends on the context of usage and application.

A: Bank can mean two things.

1. Bank for Money.

2. River bank (the side of the river)

Banks is plural (more than one)

A: I don’t know why banks in Korea close so early. 4pm ??? Seriously ??

A: Yes, the grammar is correct.

A: In the example sentence, “when” is not being used to describe the first clause.

Instead, this “when” means something like “but then”. It connects a previous state with a contrasting event.

The first clause describes a situation that was interrupted by the event in second clause.

In other words:
“The two banks were all set to merge. But then, one of them suddenly backed out of the agreement.”

Surprisingly, I haven’t been able to find this usage of “when” in any of the English dictionaries that I checked, even though it is natural.

A: @chanheenator

- the 1st one is correct.

- 2nd one should be ''The banks don't open on Sundays''

banks : plural ➡️ do

bank: singular ➡️ does

A: It means that he wants a bank to loan him money using his homes as collateral. Meaning that if he does not pay back the loan, the bank will take possession of one or more of his homes in what is called a "foreclosure".

A: @massive I think the reason it has "streamline" instead of "streamlines" is a difference with British English. In American English, a collective noun ("a team", "the government") is treated as singular, like one entity. But in British English, those collective nouns can be treated as plural, like including all individual members.

US English: "My favorite team wins!"
UK English: "My favorite team win!"

Also, I don't think "first/third person" is the right grammar concept here. That refers just to the point of view of the writer, while verbs agreeing with their subject is a separate issue.

First Person: "I eat" and "We eat"
Third Person: "He eats" and "They eat"
(and Second Person: "You eat")

A: How do banks make investments then? The typical one is a ‘loan’. Loaning is lending money. There are various borrowers:

The verb for investments is usually “make”.
