1) what do we do with a buckle of a riding helmet? which verb should I use with it? is it "do up a buckle? or "fastened"? my sentence is "The riding helmet fastening system is equipped with belts and a buckle which should always be ..........."

- be fastened??

is the whole sentence correct or maybe I should change the whole sentence?

2) The next sentence from the same text (the text which I translated) is: An adequatlely buckled helmet is going to protect your head. - is it correct or should I use other words to express it?

3)The helmet which is properly put on does not slide off the head and tilt to any side

- put on??
-slide off??
-tilt??

have I used appropriate words. are the sentences correct?

thanks for your help once again

I am particularly interested in rules underlying use of compund words and how these rules have changed. Another focus in this interest is to establish how word meanings have changed. Finally, to establish how much spoken mid-Victorian British English may have resembled written forms of the time an how that compares to modern standard British English . My question: Can anyone suggest some excellent references?

I'm curious to know that why do people from English-speaking counrty ask me what my weekend plan will be like? Here in Japan. we ask that question when I want to invite someone to go somewhere. Is that a reason because it's easy way to begin with a conversation?

After he was unhandcuffed, Frank was left alone in the strange room for about five minutes before someone else came in and grabbed his hand. He yanked it on the pad, an in surprise, Frank screamed angirly. the man laughed. "you see franky, what happens when people disobay me, I don't take kindly to it."

Hi, I'm Japanese. How would you refuse someone's invite if you were not interested in that. especially between good friends.......I don't want to hurt them but I don't really hope to join.

Frank was bruttaly shoved into the wall. Someone, in their haste, had left his hoodie behind. He tried to reach for it but his arm was yanked up and cuffed to the other one. He was tossed into the nearby van, where yet another person blindfolded him and gagged him. Frank struggled, but he knew with a easy feeling there was no way he was getting out of this mess that he had mistakenly gotten himself into.

the word smell itself seems infected by the cheesyness of a twice worn sock!
why are there no luscious fruity positive words to describe smell.
she smells nice....no
she stinks nice...no
she has a nice odour...no
she is fragrant today...no
is fragrant the best we can do?
what about lish....?
she lishes lovely tonight.....not bad
i think the new word should definately incorporate either a
shhh sound
or a ffff sound.
both sounds are a soft airy expellation of air, indicative of something that might be carried on a breeze like a deLISHious scent in the air.
