關於Thousand的意思和用法的提問

A: It’s a play on words of the phrase “Thousands of years later”.

This means that someone cried for a long time.

A: 100 000
200 000
300 000 +

A: Yes it’s talking about time.
It means a very very very Long time.
A decade = 10 years
Imagine 10 years multiplied by 1000

A: That is the problem. ; )

By emphasising that governments did not control communication (for thousands of years) it suggests there was a time when they did.

It's like saying "for thousands of years people ate food." : )

A:
I have a thousand things to tell you.
My book collection could be in the thousands.
I wish I had a thousand dollars.
One day I'll own a house work six hundred thousand dollars.
The forest behind my house must have a thousand trees.

A: "5 Thousand" is the correct one.

A: a few thousand dollars is like for instance, $1000, $2000 or $3000. not a lot so a few thousand. several thousand dollars is a lot more than $3000, could be $10000 or more.

A: "Thousands of years" is more natural. And it's correct. In English "of" is used to describe relationships between words. You need "of" to show how "thousands" and "years" are related to each other.
For example, the phrase "5 cups of coffee" or "the support of my family". This word simply tells the listener how one thing relates to another in your sentence.
(I hope this wasn't confusing. :)

A: "They will be formed over thousands or millions of years" - This indicates that external forces will create "them" (whatever they are)
"They will form over thousands or millions of years" - This indicates that the things form on their own and are not caused to be formed.
But really, in this case, they mean exactly the same thing. There are some situations where it will be important to differentiate something that spontaneously happens from something that happens because of outside forces, but this is not one of those situations. Either sentence can be used as both are correct.
It is inappropriate to add "in" before "over". If you do, the sentence makes no sense. You do use "in over" in something like "I haven't seen Thomas in over a month". But not in these sentences.

A: Cornered means you are surrounded on two/three sides by a wall (or some other barrier) and the other side(s) by zombies.

Surrounded means there are zombies all around you in a circle.

So if you are cornered, you are back against the wall. If you are surrounded, you are in open space but can’t go anywhere because they are around you in ever direction.

A: He bought thousands of books and read as many = He bought (2,000) books and he read (2,000) books.

He bought thousands of books and read as many more? = He bought (2,000) books and he read (4,000) books.
"As many more" means the same number again or twice the number.

A: if it's referring to the year, we say it as "twenty twenty". same goes for the other years, for example "twenty nineteen"

however, if you want to say "the phone costs $2020", you would pronounce it as "two thousand and twenty dollars"

hope it helps:-)

A: The first sentence is correct.
“I want to make food with vegetables and bread and write a book about it.”
Remember to add an ‘s’ at the end of plural nouns. Don’t put ‘a’ in front of the word bread.

A: Thousands.

A: @zeinaaa:

A: "I heard that there are more than three thousand Kanji in Japanese."

A: thousand

A: Are you refering to your pronounciation or the sentence written above?

Your pronounciation is good but the part of the sentence: "stunt show's spectacle" doesn't make sense

The sentence is most likely "Thousands and thousands went to see this spectacular stunt show" (might not be as i don't have enough context)

or could be: "Thousands and thousands went to see this stunt show's spectacular rides"

Hope this helps :)

A: Three thousand, three hundred and sixty five

A: Pretty good. Though at the beginning it should read "throughout five thousand years of history"
