English Grammar 'All the same'

The first one is good.

For the second, try:

All the same, a month afterwards food prices have increased.

Jane, "felt glad" is redundant. Maybe "was glad"

Mere technicality

Food prices have risen. Or increased, as said before.



Everyone was glad that salaries had increased.

Hi all,
Can I say 'All the same the government has raised food prices'?

Only if it was the government that raised prices, it may well have been the marketplace. Governments only really control prices in command economies, although they can decide to subsidise certain basics like bread in Egypt.

Hi push,
Thank you very much for your explanation.

Not so in British English. One can feel glad, or be glad. "Feeling" glad, or sad, or hopeful, or angry, or whatever localizes the feeling to a moment or occasion whereas "being" is more spread out in time. I feel glad now; I will be glad for a while.

I bought the album... I could flog it on eBay if I still had it.

Hi contrex,
is my sentence correct or not? I have posted a new thread.Please comment that one too. Thank you.
'Everyone felt glad that salaries increased'.

When I hear the song in my head I always have to think twice before remembering it's not The Beatles. I think that one in particular gets the sound spot on.

Yes, it's fine.

Thanks a lot.

Jane, forgive me but your posting suffers from the common misconception that everyone is closely following a thread

Not clear just what sentence (eg, my sentence no. 2 in posting #….448)

But what's it entitled and when did you post it


Supposedly from the new thread; we're not sure because if I'm right why is the new thread even required

Jane my apologies however, if we're not supposed to be in on your chat with Con, who seems to be following admirably

Forgive me again Jane if I pull your leg just a little but a typical posting of this sort to which I make ref might, eg, assert:

"Thanks for that, but it was two, not one, like he said, and if the last few from that source agree with the one discussing it then why are you so certain that she's talking about the same outcome, if that's what's needed to confirm their current observation, that is, the one formerly describing the difference"

Hi dal,
Please don't be angry.I really appreciate your advice too.I just wanted to find out Contrex's point of view.

Oh Jane do I sound angry

Not at you certainly

Dal good morning.
I am glad to hear this.Do have a wonderful day.

food prices have been raised [by somebody/something].

And as McTag noted, food prices have risen is fine.
