Is in order to bad grammar?

“In order to” is superfluous and completely unnecessary, as it always should be. Just use “to” – it means exactly the same thing – always. Generalizations are always wrong.

Did anyone took or take?

In this sentence ‘did’ is the auxiliary verb used to form a question in the past tense. In questions, the auxiliary carries the tense information; the main verb is in the base form, not a past form. Thus ‘Take’ is correct and not ‘Took’.

What was I doing or what were I doing?

I think “What was I doing” is the past tense of “What am I doing”. And “What were I doing” is in a subjunctive mood? Subjunctive mood is not used for the verb that inverts with the subject in a direct question. “What was I doing?” is correct.

How do you ask what are you doing in different ways?

Here are some alternatives:

  • What are you doing lately?
  • What are you doing with your life?
  • What are you up to lately?
  • How is it going these days?
  • How is it going lately?

How do you ask are you busy in another way?

First let’s look at different ways to say that a person is busy.

  • I am busy. The most basic way to express this.
  • I’m as busy as a bee.
  • I’m slammed.
  • I’m so busy (that) I can’t even…
  • I’m buried (in work).
  • I’m overwhelmed (with work).
  • I’m up to my ears in work.
  • I’ve got a lot on my plate.

Is grammatically incorrect ungrammatical?

To say something is grammatically incorrect would be like saying it is “right wrong” or “correct incorrect”. The term ungrammatical, on the other hand, suggests the phrase/word is not grammatical or does not follow the rules of grammar.

How do you write a grammatically correct sentence?

In order for a sentence to be grammatically correct, the subject and verb must both be singular or plural. In other words, the subject and verb must agree with one another in their tense. If the subject is in plural form, the verb should also be in plur al form (and vice versa).

Have you taken or had you taken?

It is in the past tense, “have taken” is correct. Since they are talking in the present tense (the conversation is taking place NOW) it is correct to say “have taken.”
