Grammar

You can reply by saying "Me too, I look forward to seeing you as well."

Words and phrases such as "as I said," "furthermore," "moreover," "once again," "another example," "this means," all indicate that what follows is related to (or repeating) what came before. Careful perusal of the earlier sentences may shed light on the difficult word or sentence which follows.

The word "happiness" is stressed on the first syllable: HAP-pi-ness.

Both "I appreciate you responding to my letter" and "I appreciate your responding to my letter" are correct. The first sentence uses "you" as the direct object of the verb "appreciate," while the second sentence uses "your" to indicate possession of the gerund "responding." Ultimately, both versions are grammatically acceptable.

No, there is no indirect object in the sentence "the reading assignment was an informative article about medical ethics." The sentence provides information about the reading assignment and the article, but it does not include an indirect object receiving the action.

The unstressed syllable in a word is a syllable that is pronounced with less emphasis or force compared to a stressed syllable in the same word. It often has a lower pitch and is spoken more quickly than stressed syllables. In English, unstressed syllables are common and play a significant role in the rhythm and flow of speech.

"The winning contestant" would be the subject phrase, with the gerund, "winning" functioning as the adjective to describe the contestant.

"Diving for hours every day" would be a prepositional phrase, with the gerund, "diving" acting as the object of the prepositional phrase. "Diving" in this case would be the object because it receives the action of the preposition.

It's also important to note that this phrase would be a sentence fragment. Although gerunds are often present in verb phrases, they usually need a helping verb with them to act as a verb.

When defining grammar, it is important to consider both syntax and semantics. Syntax refers to the structure and rules for constructing sentences, while semantics deals with the meaning of those sentences. Both elements are crucial for creating clear and effective communication.

No. "May I see your passport, please?" is probably the best way to say it. "For" is not used with "request": you can request someone's passport, or you can request that someone show you his passport. And since requesting is already asking for something, it is redundant to use both "may I" and "request".
