he also doesn't understand the difference between 'understand' and 'interpret'.

 

Understand- 1.to perceive and comprehend significance of 2. to grasp or comprehend the meaning intended or expressed.

 

Interpret- 1.To explain oneself 2. to expound the significance of

 

So is if something is mis-interpreted, it cannot further be misinderstood?

 

If one interprets something, aren't they trying to have someone "undersatnd" something as well?quote]

No, it's not a matter of take your pick. It's a matter of meaning.

 

It's simple grammar, the sentences are not interchangeable.

 

'to' and 'of' change the meaning of the sentence completely.

 

If you type a funny little quip at the end of a post and someone READS it, then asks you what you meant, or if you meant something else, you should be able to reply.

 

Talk about not reading something written.

 

Hmmmn-In language theory, this is called prediction. Experimentation shows that native speakers when participating in randomized cloze practices fill in word based on their assumptions, perceptions, or beliefs on a particular topic and what they think the answer should be. Quite often making a mistake based on what they though they read, or what it ‘should have read’, not actually what they read. Along with fill cloze practices, another interesting test; A group of native and a group of non-native speakers are given a text to read aloud. The text has 25 grammatical errors. When the non-natives read the passage they say all 25 errors, the natives say 15 or less, the mind takes over and automatically predicts correct syntax and smooth out errors.

 

Seems to be something you have just done.

 

I suggested that you take a pick because you were interpreting, or mis-interpreting, what I had written.

 

How did I post it originally? Did I use "of" or "to"? So how do you understand/interpret that? Pick out the correct one and I give you a explanation.

Nope, you'll find coutless examples at the bookstore or library - under second Language aquisition.

No, both sentences have different meaning and would be used in entirely differnet context. Tell me which one and I'll understand.

Again,

You can navigate through the thread by using the page index at the bottom, find it youself and get back to me...

 

 

And as I said before, I cant pick out he correct one, you have to decide what you wanted to say... The meaning of each sentence is different, and would be used in different context...

 

Example 1:

 

Boy: 'Dad, look at that fat guy, he looks like an elephant!'

 

Father: 'Don't speak of strangers that way.' (speak about, talk about)

 

Example 2:

 

Boy is talking to a stranger, stranger is giving boy candy. Father sees this, grabs boy and drags him off.

 

Father: Don't speak to strangers. (talk to)

Again, what was it, of or to?

[JEM618]

Shucks, I am not allowd to speak of specific animals

 

 

Oh, and while your it; which animals and who told you not to?

[Drunken Monkey]

oops, did i say that out aloud.....?
