I know that this is right:

Wilma owns many cats.
[Many x: CAT(x)] OWN(w,x)

Is this sentence identical?:
Many cats are owned by Wilma.
[Many x: CAT(x)] OWN(w,x)

Also, for "Every person in this room speaks two languages," I will wind up with two ambiguities (I'll just ask about one). Since I have two quantifiers ("every" and "two"), can I do it like this:
[Every x: PERSON(x)] SPEAK (x, two languages)

or must it be something like this:
[Every x: PERSON(x)] SPEAK {[Two y: LANGUAGE(y)],x}

A clarification - dogs have owners, but cats have staff.

Yes, semantic quantifier notation is done prior to the transformational rules that turn "many cats are owned..." into a passive.

And your last statement is the correct one, where two languages is also written in the proper notation.

hi! before each and every thing are you confident about your question? First case: in case you answer convinced then it really is done! because you've absolutely the fee is continually useful or null and -4 is detrimental huge form! So it really isn't any longer accessible to have -4 >=0. second case: in the journey that your question is vast form 4 and by no skill huge form -4 then we could have this inequation: | 2 - x | < 4 or as you need to understand: we've | a | < b is an identical as -b< a < b so | 2 - x | <4 is an identical as -4< 2 - x < 4 -4-2<2-x-2<4-2 -6<-x<2 then we can multiply by -a million it truly is a detrimental huge form so we can replace < to > and > to < (-6)*(-a million)>(-x)*(-a million)>2*(-a million) 6>x>-2 so the finest answer is -2
