She suddenly realized the answer.

>> CORRECT

She realized the answer suddenly.

>> CORRECT
Suddenly, she ralized the answer.

>> CORRECT



1.Orange is tastier than banana. /Oranges are tastier than bananas.
->Which sentence is correct between the two?

>> Oranges are tastier than bananas. ( In English, it's usually better to use the plural form when comparing general categories (fruits).)
2.Rice noodles is the tastiest among all noodles.
->‘Rice noodles’ are plural, so shouldn't we use verb in plural?

ex:Rice noodles are the tastiest (food) among all noodles.

>> Rice noodles are the tastiest among all noodles. ( You are correct. It should be plural.)
3.Is there no such thing as ‘sometime’?

>> Sometime exists but it is used differently.

Sometime refers to an unspecified time or an occasional event. ( Let us meet sometime next week )

Sometime refers to a length or duration of time. ( He was a sometime musician.)

4.But ‘feel free to’ has sometimes implied subject. /But ‘feel free to’ has implied sometimes subject.
->Are these sentence structures possible?

>> But ‘feel free to’ sometimes has implied subject./ But ‘feel free to’  sometimes has implied subject.

( If there's a direct object in a sentence, better to put the adverb before the verb so verb + object is closer together.)

5.ex: The Life of Idol - the book title

>> The Life of an Idol.  / The Life of Idols
I like idol - sentence
->Right?

>> I like idols. / I like an idol.
6.ss, sh, ch + es -> [siz]
ex:watches

>> CORRECT
7.It's a barely there sound, just 'v'.
-> What does ‘there’ mean?

>> I meant there is a barely there sound after v, like uh in umbrella.
8. tasteful = good taste = good sense
->Right?

>> CORRECT
9.vowel, greasy, student, written
-> I'm confused about the pronunciation of these words.

vowel -[ vou-uhl ]  (ow is like how)

greasy -[ gree-see, ‑zee ] ( first ee is like see)

student - [ stood-nt, styood- ] ( tu is like too)

written - [ rit-n ] ( ri is like i in sit, en is unstress)
