1)Where my glass is? 2) Where is my glass 3) My glass, where is :whistle:

Where is My glass?

"Where my glass is" would only work if "do you know" was placed before it: "Do You know where My glass is?"

Either would be the right statement.

"My Glass, Where is" is grammatically incorrect and has improper punctuation.

The correct sentence would be number two. If you are looking for the.. however you COULD say "Where's my glass at?" if you say in the right tone, just like people will say that there is a problem with something, and I will ask: "What the problem is?"

Second one is not a question because it doesn't have a ?

The way it's said would make it a question wouldn't it? Assuming it's going to be used orally rather than through text it's correct, I think. If it's meant to be in text, then none of them are right due to different reasons.

The question 'Where my glass is?' would be more suited as a response (assuming you were going to respond to a question with a question), should someone tell you where another item is - for example, a cup. If you were unsure you could ask "Where my glass is?" to confirm it was somewhere in the same area. That being said... it's more of a colloquial thing here in Northern Ireland at least. The third one is just a train-wreck, I suppose. The punctuation is grammatically incorrect due to its placement, and even if it was moved the question would make no sense.

So do I need to learn grammer from scratch or do I need something else cuz I considers these sentences correct due to some abnormal teachings.... :blink:

Yep, I think a grammar review is in order ;)

By the way, the topic title should be "Are these English sentences correct?"

"Sentences" is plural, so you use "these" instead of "that".

Oh, so you want to learn. Why didn't you say so? And stop being silly, guys, asking how they are incorrect is a perfectly valid question.

Well it's kind of like asking why doesn't 1 + 1 = 3 imho... but if you guys want to get into sentence structure, be my guest :)

Why wouldn't we want to get into sentence structure? That's exactly what this is about. How else are you supposed to teach someone grammar? :blink:

I'd be explaining it myself, but I forget what some of the parts are (I know subject, predicate, etc, but I forget what "where" and "is" are...)

I suppose the question might help the OP in the future when it comes to structuring sentences. If he knows the general guidelines for sentence structure then he'll be able to form sentences more easily in the future... at least, I hope that's how it'll work out for him.

From the posts above we are debating it a bit. I would include some but after choosing the multiquote response for my reply Neowin has decided not to include them. I cant be bothered to go back and edit more than I have done with this post already lol

      So the card is targeted at headphone users - so the review should be from someone that uses this - maybe I can review a card next time.
    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.
    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.
