The person after me game (2)

[Gormur]

Enthusiastically.

Hiccoughs are terrible. I'm glad I haven't had them in a long time.

The person after me lives in a small city with moderate temperatures year round.

[tiuwiu]

Neither. Born, raised and living in a city with a population over 600,000 and temperatures between freezing cold and hot as hell.

The person after me is an Agatha Christie fan.

[france-eesti]

No, I don't really love her novels, though I usually love crime novels...

The person after me is watching a manga to please someone they appreciate, because mangas aren't usually their kind of program.

[tiuwiu]

I don't consciously watch but my children enjoy watching animes so I often spend time watching it with them.

The person under me wishes to have the time-machine.

"Manga" is a term for graphic novels. When a manga is adapted into a movie, it is often called "anime". You might also use that term for a television adaptation or you might just call it a "a tv show based on a manga".

I don't consciously watch but my children enjoy watching animes so I often spend time watching it with them.

"Anime" is generally uncountable in English. If you choose to pluralise it, you can't then refer back to it in the next clause with a singular pronoun.

It sounds awkward to use "watch" without an explicit object. I would say "I don't consciously watch anime, but my children enjoy it..."

The person under me wishes to have thethey had a time-machine.

I don't want that kind of responsibility.

The person after me still lives in the town or city where they were born.

[Antea]

Yes, exactly, always here. Tough I suppose there are worse places to be stuck than BCN.

The person after me is a digital nomad.

[tiuwiu]

No, definitely not.

The person after me likes the middle seat on airplanes.

[Osias]

I H-A-T-E them.

The person after me kills chicken for money.

[linguoboy]

The person after me kills chickens for money.

No, just for fun.

The person after me needs a new mattress that isn't so compacted.

[tiuwiu]

Not at all.

The person after me never wears a watch.

[Hoogstwaarschijnlijk]

Yes, I don't even own one.

The person after me has worn a face mask.

[linguoboy]

Yes, I don't even own one.

Outside of Indian English, it's a bit odd to agree with a negative statement before going on to negate it even more emphatically. "No, never" is what I would say in this instance.

The person after me has worn a face mask.

Not yet today, despite being outside already, but I haven't left my yard so I think that's okay.

The person after me was hoping their allergies wouldn't be so severe this year.

Actually I meant it like in general, not today specifically. Should I have written it differently then? In Dutch you add 'wel eens' in these kinds of sentences.

The person after me was hoping their allergies wouldn't be so severe this year.

Oh yes! It's been so bad this year and as sneezing meant not being able to do groceries and stuff that was so annoying. And always the question: what if it's covid?

The person after me recently went to a zoo.

The English sentence is inherently ambiguous, but the default reading would be "ever". I chose to narrow the scope because it made for a more interesting answer than just "yes". If you wanted to preclude this, you could add "before" (which is pretty universally interpreted as "before today").

[TheStrayCat]

The person after me recently went to a zoo.

No, I haven't been anywhere too far from my neighborhood in the last four months. The last time I went to the zoo was last summer in the Bronx, and I really enjoyed it.

The person after me has been having difficulty sleeping lately.

[france-eesti]

No, my sleep is quite good, although it's been very hot lately.

The person after me is addicted to crosswords.

[tiuwiu]

Not really, but I love logic grid puzzles.

The person afte me is a bad dancer and doesnt have any rhythym.

[Dormouse559]

The person after me is a bad dancer and doesnt have any rhythym.

I'm an okay dancer, I guess, passable enough for the little bit of dancing in the plays I do.

The person after has taken up a new hobby during lockdown.

[tiuwiu]

No, but I have rediscovered an old hobby: drawing with watercolor pencils.

The person after me hates stressful situations.

[france-eesti]

Who doesn't? They say it can be stimulating but I tend to think we cannot give the best of ourselves.

The person after me just finished ironing their step children's clothes though it's more than 30°C in the room.
