The reason is that you are talking about the past. You had already suffered.

 

This means that the results will be released on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday or Saturday of next week.

This means that the results will have been released before midnight Saturday night at the very end of next week. They might be released on Sunday, at the very beginning of the week. They could even be released tomorrow, which is still this week.

This is wrong. You can say "the results will be released in one week," but this is ambiguous. It usually means that they will be released exactly seven days from today. But some people might use it to mean that they will be released at any time between today and seven days from today.

 

Perfect!

 

These two sentences have identical meanings.

These two sentences also have identical meanings.

The first sentence is correct. The second sentence has approximately the same meaning, but it is not the correct way to say it. You could say, "A madrigal is required to be polyphonic," or "madrigals are required to be polyphonic."

Again, these two sentences have identical meanings.

These two sentences also have identical meanings.

Since you say "a madrigal" instead of "the madrigal" or "madrigals," you are referring to only one madrigal. So your meaning is that one particular madrigal is popular. This sentence has no meaning if the person you're talking to does not know which madrigal you refer to.

This sentence is grammatically correct, but it does not make sense. When a musician composes a madrigal, he cannot know in advance that it will be popular. Even if it is not popular, it is still a madrigal.

This is wrong. You should say "the computer" or "computers." The revolution was not performed by just one computer.

The grammar in this sentence is horribly incorrect. I'm very disappointed that you wrote it. Your command of English grammar is not as good as I thought it was.

This sentence is poorly written. In addition, it is incorrect. A song can be a madrigal even if nobody likes it.

 

Sorry, neither one makes any sense. I have no idea what you're trying to say.

Both of these words are of Latin origin. They are not native Anglo-Saxon words, so you must not analyze them as though they were.

Mandare is a Latin word that is translated as "to order" and various other similar verbs. De is a preposition with the basic meaning "of," but as a prefix in a compound word, it is used in many ways, including "reversal" and "taking away." So to demand something is to order someone to let you take something away from them.

Re- is a Latin prefix with several meanings, best known as "again, repeatedly," but it also means "backward." So to remand something to somebody means to order something to be given back to them.

 

These versions of what? These sentences have no meaning so I can't comment on them.

 

Some furniture is okay. -- A few pieces of furniture is also okay. I would assume that "a few pieces" is equal to or less than "some," but never more than "some."

A number of furniture is wrong. "Furniture" is a mass noun like water, love, food, peace, wine. It cannot be counted, so you cannot have two furnitures or a number of furnitures. Just like you cannot have two waters or three peaces.

As for the second question, the idiom is move into a house. However, once you have completed the move, you will tell people, "I finally moved in last month." "Into" is a preposition which must always take an object. "In" can serve as an adverb, so it doesn't always need an object.

 

You're biggest problem is the inflection of verbs for tense and of nouns for number... since these concepts do not exist in Chinese. Your second biggest problem is the use of idioms, but that's always difficult in any foreign language.

It is not reasonable to require (although we would more likely say "expect") your children to have the same way (or "ways") of thinking and a value system similar to yours, (don't forget the comma) because you were born in different eras so you have acquired different beliefs and priorities from society.​

"Beliefs and priorities" is just my own suggestion. There are many others that are just as acceptable. My point is that "different things" doesn't express anything, so it leaves your sentence rather impotent.

An "age" is a long time: The Bronze Age lasted for 2,000 years. An "era" is much shorter, often less than a century.
