Does “English learners” means “people who are studying English” ? Or “English people who are studying something”? Which??

Thank you.

Grammatically, both are correct. But most people would take it as “people who are studying English” if there was no specific context.

質問自体には cranks さんが完璧に答えてくださいましたが、拙者からは老婆 心ながら別件に言及させていただきたく候。

上記の赤の「Ｓ」ひとつだけ使用してチョンマゲ候。二度使いは厳禁に て候。中学でやったでしょ候。この手のミス、ゆり姫に ては割とあるにも関わらず、このスレの常連たち見逃す 傾向真に著しく、拙者から指摘させていただく候。さだ まさしの「候流し」なんてね候。

Thank you.

Revisions in red. Also, I would agree with cranks that it depends on context. Though my first interpretation would be "individuals learning the English language".

Hi.
Could someone help me?

1. I’m about to cross the bridge.
2. I’m about to cross the river.

When you are going to another side of a river, and there is a bridge over the river, which would you say?
1 or 2?

My dictionary has both “corss a bridge” and “cross a river”. However, I think “what crossing a bridge” is a river under the bridge.
Don’t you say “go through a bridge”?

Thank you!

I would say the first sentence. You're crossing a bridge, which carries the implied meaning that it is over a river or some other obstacle (or height). This obstacle or height would be impossible to cross if there wasn't a bridge across it.

My dictionary has both “cross a bridge” and “cross a river”. However, I think “what crossing a bridge” is a river under the bridge.
Don’t you say “go through a bridge”?

Thank you!

The dictionary is right if a river does not have a bridge across it. If a bridge has been built across the river, you generally use it instead.

I wouldn't say "go through a bridge" as it implies the person has the ability to pass through the bridge itself. "Go over a bridge" would be slightly better, as it implies travelling on the surface of the bridge.

Hope that is of some use, Yuri.
