A: "Why the needles on a pine tree stay green all year" Isn't a question. It could be used as a title for an essay about needles on a pine tree and why they stay green all year.

"Why DO the needles on a pine tree stay green all year?" Is a question, so would be some thing you would ask to find out the answer to it.

Hope this helped!

A: They are essentially the same. I rarely use needless though. It depends on the situation. Sometimes needless just sounds better "needless to say" for example.

A: I always learned it as "three bags full", so "three needles full" sounds very strange to me! My best guess is that it now means "the amount of wool I have is enough that three needles are full of yarn." Like there was so much yarn they got tangled or something...? Whatever. It should be "bags". Who changed it😞

A: × "I have needless fear that I might be totally different and have trouble with someone I date. I think that's what makes me holding me back from having a girlfriend."
✓ "I have an irrational (needless) fear that I might be incompatible with someone I date, which would cause trouble. I think that's what makes me reluctant to have (find) a girlfriend."

A: "Do I need to be polite with her or not?”
“Do I need to be polite to her?” will do too

A: Stingers

A: I would correct the first one to say “She was doing well threading a needle.”

I would change the second one to, “She was doing well putting a thread through the needle,” but that doesn’t sound very natural.

How I would say this is “She was threading the needle well.”


Feel free to ask me if you don’t understand this or need anything else! :)

A: Yes, that is correct. Unless ~ = ～でないかぎり
