1. He says a home is a place that has love. Is this sentence grammatically right?


2. Austrians were europeans who were born in Austria. Is this sentence right? I feel weird about using Be-verbs twice.

3. This is no Orc Horn. i feel it is weird, too because we usually say " this is not an orc horn"?

4. Anyone coming to see my home? Is this sentence right? I think we should add 'is' before 'coming'?



Hope you can explain them to me, thank you.

Thank you, Feebs11. But for the last sentence, why can we omit 'Is'?

Because often spoken English is "sloppy" - it has elisions and omissions. However, it is not sensible to use these in written English, unless you are writing dialogue.

The word "jerk" means a sudden, quick movement. You can jerk your head around when you hear a noise that startles you, or you can jerk your hand back when you touch something hot. You whole body can jerk if something is very sur
