I'm not really sure whether this answers the question. You link to your own question, but that question itself doesn't have an answer. (more) |

I see, thanks for the insight (maybe you could write a partial answer ;)
I'll take a deeper look into it, though from what you mention, I guess people are just hyperfocusing on one aspect and making it their entire method like it's the One Trick Needed to Succeed™️. It happens. (more) |

Interesting - that's still learning the stuff subconsciously before outputting though, right? (more) |

| Question | — |
Effectiveness of input-only learning While learning a language, there are a surprising (to me at least) number of people who say that you should never output until fluent - that is, as long as you get enough input, you will eventually become able to output fluently. Basically, learning the way children acquire their first language. They... (more) |

Ah, I was using "stem" somewhat loosely here, as in simply what the inflectional suffix attaches to. You're right though, that the dental past tense could be considered not to be a part of the stem. (more) |

Actually, this occurs in strong verbs as well "ich trank, er trank" (not "*er trankt"). In general, the first and third person are always identical in the preterite, no matter the verb.
It doesn't really change anything about your answer, since strong and weak only affects the stem and not the end... (more) |

According to [here](https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/32619/why-is-idea-sometimes-pronounced-as-idear), it is actually a fairly common phenomenon in non-rhotic accents. It could be that the Chinese accent is either due to British influence or just another example of this.

| Question | — |
Why is the third person singular conjugation different in the past tense? Generally speaking, German verbs inflect with the following table | Person | Inflection | Example | |-|-|-| | ich | -e | sage, arbeite | | du | -(e)st | sagst, arbeitest | | er/sie/es | -(e)t | sagt, arbeitet | | wir | -en | sagen, arbeiten | | ihr | -(e)t | sagt, arbeitet | | sie (Plural) ...

In American English, you wouldn't say "Microsoft have never said they have extended the free period.", it is always singular, "Microsoft has ...". This might be one of the reasons the construct seems exceptional to me, since I'm an American speaker.

| Question | — |
Plural agreement with a syntactically singular subject Many quantity words trigger agreement with their object rather than themselves. For instance, syntactically, "a lot, "a bunch", "an amount" seem to all be singular. However, as a native speaker, "There are a lot of people", with the plural form of the verb "are", seems just as grammatical as "There i... (more) |
