At first glance they appear inanimate ordinary plastic; however guitar picks are actually made from a very rare from of sentient plastic that has a tendency to roam around when left unattended. Their adventures can last up to two full weeks, and while most picks usually return to their place of origin, a poor sense of direction cause many to become lost, and some even intentionally run away. Picks also have a unique telepathic ability and can sense peoples joy, the more one enjoys using a particular pick, the more likely it is to abandon its owner.

To all students returning to school
If you see any of the following:
another student struggling to make friends
another student being picked on
I saw the above on Facebook.
Please explain the use of «being» in «being picked on».
-
#2
If you see what? Another student being picked on.
As you can see, you need a noun form here and the gerund is a noun form.
-
#3
It’s the same construction as the previous «struggling», Jignesh — the only difference is that the verb is passive:
If you see another student struggling…
If you see another student being picked on…
Basically, it’s the verb «see» followed by the ING-form.
-
#4
Thank you.
Do we need «being» here to form a passive construction (being picked on)?
-
#6
What would be the active form of «being picked on»?
-
#7
If you notice that one student picks on another one …
-
#8
Or, keeping the verb «see»:
If you see another student picking on someone…
-
#9
Thank you so much! Do we need a gerund form (being picked on) because the verb «see» is generally followed by a gerund?
-
#10
We need a gerund because «see» in this sense is transitive and needs an object.
-
#11
If there’s a verb following see, it can be either a bare infinitive or an ING-form:
I saw him cross the road.
I saw him crossing the road.
-
#12
Jignesh, I’ve noticed you’ve asked the same question in another forum. I understand that you want a variety of opinion on your questions, but since most of them are pretty uncontroversial and can be answered by anyone competent, don’t you think it’s a bit of a waste of intellectual resources to duplicate your questions in several forums?
-
#13
I didn’t know that «picked on» was still being used. All I hear lately is «bullied».
I agree with most of the above. I would explain it as «being picked on» = «in the process of being picked on».
According to one definition of «pick on», it’s,
repeatedly single (someone) out for criticism or unkind treatment in a
way perceived to be unfair.
pick on meaning
But another translation I get to Spanish it’s
meddle with someone
one has a connotation of being unfair, and the other doesnt, though, in translations, sometimes part of the meaning is lost.
Does the verb «pick on» always have the unfair connotation to it?
asked Oct 18, 2019 at 10:57
Yes, «pick on [someone]» does usually imply that you have singled them out for treatment, eg:
The teacher repeatedly picked on John.
If you mean to simply select someone, we just use «pick»:
The teacher repeatedly picked John to answer the questions.

English (US)
-
Greek
Similar to «I’ve been bullied-» but the word «bullied» is more intense and harsh than «been picked on».
Another phrase is: «I’ve been made fun of»
-
English (US)
«Picked on» has the sense of «teased» , but a little more severe than something said in jest. However, it’s is not quite as severe or mean spirited as «bullied».
-
Spanish (Spain)
@Drtoddw@carmenwojtowicz so can I say.
*I used to be picked on in middle school a lot.
*they’re picking on me.
-
English (US)
-
Greek
yes, also «I used to get picked on in middle school a lot» sounds even more natural to me
-
English (US)
Yes, as long as you’re trying to denote that it was something that was mild… at least to some degree. There is some ambiguity there though.
It’s a matter of degree with «picked on» being used to denote a lower level of animosity than «bullied.
If you had stated that you had been «bullied a lot» in middle school or you said «They are bullying me», that would clearly indicate that the interaction was severe.
-
Spanish (Spain)
@Drtoddw@carmenwojtowicz thanks.. can u guys do me a favor can u please check these sentences.
1)alcohol will seize your life.
2)you’re seizing my dreams why are you deciding for my future.
3)the IRS can seize your car and house if they want to even your eyes if they can.
4)he had a seizure but he’s in the hospital.
5)the bank madr a lot of seizures in houses.
****just say incorrect or correct that’s it if I wanna know why each sentence is incorrect I’ll ask later but for now just say correct or incorrect for each one please can u please do that for me.
-
English (US)
-
Greek
1,2,3,5 incorrect
4 correct
-
English (US)
@HDGD so….
1. Incorrect
2. Incorrect
3. Incorrect (small imperfection)
4. Incorrect (small imperfection in the sense of the sentence)
5. Incorrect… another small imperfection
This was difficult because some of the reasons that made a sentence incorrect was a word’s placement or a comma, period, semi-colon etc.
-
Spanish (Spain)
@Drtoddw@carmenwojtowicz thank u so much for answering my question like I asked …
now why are they wrong??? isn’t those the meanings for seize and seizure
-
English (US)
The word seizure usually refers to something officially done, usually part of some legal process, when talking about behavior. However, the word seize can also be used in reference to a motor in which something internal that’s supposed to move isn’t moving. That’s yet another usage, close to #4.
So, here is how I would write your sentences:
1. Alcohol will shorten your life. Or more strongly, alcohol will kill you.
2.You are killing my dreams of what I want to do.
3.The IRS can seize your house, your car, and even your eyes if they want. (Maybe if you have a prosthetic eyeball?)
4. Don’t use the word «but» in this sentence because it makes the sense confusing. Do you mean «He’s in the hospital after suffering a seizure».
Without more information It almost seems that you are saying that having a seizure is to be expected while one is in a hospital.
5.»The bank seized many homes» would be natural. . Though usually when banks do this it is termed «foreclosure»
«The bank foreclosed on many homes.» would be better.
-
Spanish (Spain)
@Drtoddw some one told me the things can seize your life like alcohol or drugs or that can also seize your dreams that’s confusing
I mean no offense but this makes me thing that this app isn’t helping me because people are explaining me something and other people explain me something way different and both are the same question…
-
English (US)
I can’t answer that. I’m not offended, I am only a native English speaker who is college educated (PhD) and only can respond with what I would say. I am not responsible for what other people post.
