It felt like someone was moving a platform under the bed. Like purposely swinging a suspension bridge a little. I’m the 6th floor on a 8 story condo 50m from the beach. | 3 users found this interesting.
Uruapan / Weak shaking (MMI III) / 2-5 s :
My room started shaking | 6 users found this interesting.
I went to my neighbor’s house for something to eat yesterday.
Think about this sentence. It’s pretty simple English speakers would know precisely what it means. But what does it actually tell you or, more to the point, what does it
not tell you? It doesn’t specify facts like the subject’s gender or the neighbor’s, or what direction the speaker traveled, or the nature of the neighbors’ relationship, or whether the food was just a cookie or a complex curry. English doesn’t require speakers to give any of that information, but if the sentence were in French, say, the gender of every person involved would be specified.
