Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Announcement"

A: It can mean:
- There aren’t as many people in the seats around me anymore/ or as before

But it can also mean

- There aren’t as many people in the seats around me as I thought there would be

So you can guess the end based on the context around. But the point is, you can indeed just say « There aren’t as many people in the seats around me »

A: More context would be helpful, but basing it on what I’m imagining the scenario to be:

The speaker has gotten together with either someone or a group of people. Necessary information (announcements…things the listener(s) needs/need to know about) has already been shared. Now that the important must-be-sure-to-tell-everyone notices have been told, now the speaker & the listener(s) can socialize with each other and find out what’s new in each others’ lives.

“Before I forget: my mom told me to tell you….X, Y, and Z. also, my dad said I should also let you know…GHIJKL. Oh! And my brother & his wife are going to have a baby. Okay! Now all the announcements are out of the way so you & I can catch up! Tell me how your vacation went!

A: oh I see what you mean! Yeah it could be “the flatter the responses fall” or “the more the responses will fall flat” or even “the more flat the responses will fall.” You can definitely use them all interchangeably! I personally prefer “the more the responses will fall flat” because it’s much more clear, but people will generally understand no matter which one you use.

And your response is great! The only thing I would caution is that starting a sentence with “well” sometimes sounds impatient, especially when it’s written and you can’t tell what tone the writer was going for. I know it’s common to say “bem,” sort of as a filler in Portuguese (and “bueno” Spanish) but it doesn’t translate too well into English 😁

Also, your grammar is perfect! (American) English speakers are lazy and we usually forget that you shouldn’t end a sentence with a preposition, so it sounds formal when people do it the right way like you did (“in what should I improve”). In that instance we would just say “what should I improve?” But honestly the way you wrote it is 100% correct. Americans learn English grammar rules and then we ignore them, that’s why you’ll hear people say things like “the city I live in” instead of “the city in which I live.” The second one sounds really formal to us, but it’s grammatically correct

Sorry for the long response! I hope that helped 😊

A: It means that whatever the announcement was, it has been too long for it to be taken seriously because they didn’t do anything for months, and then when they said they would do something before, they didn’t do it on time and said that they needed more time.

A: It means that there will be an annnoucement about the boarding such as, departure time, flight number, or location.

A: Placing an announcement in the local newspaper, the realtor tried to get the word out that the house was still for rent.

After the wedding announcement was sent by mail, the bride’s excited family started making plans for the ceremony.

Sir Robert made his announcement after talks with the President.

There has been no formal announcement by either government.

One announcement yesterday cheered me up immensely.

The family withheld announcement of the death until after the award ceremony.

A: They’re interchangeable, but it would be “shook the world”.

And rocked the world is a fine sentence, but there’s a phrase “let me rock your world” which is normally a sexual invitation, sooo I probably wouldn’t say that one.

(It’s not always sexual, “you rock my world” is a cute way for someone to say they like you, but yeah.)

A: when you want to announce something you make an announcement
announcing is just the present continuous form of the verb announce.
ex: guys listen up, I have an announcement, I am going to get married!. (here the announcement is "I am going to be get married")

ex2:
person1: what is he doing?
person2: he is announcing that he is going to get married

A: @onebldeww
This difference between those two words is the word form.

Announcement:
-noun
-eg, My teacher made an announcement today regarding our exams next week.

Announcing:
-present progressive verb (because there is an “ing”)
-eg, I’m announcing the list of winners now.

A: An announcement tells you that something has just happened. For example, a wedding announcement may tell you that two people have just got married, or that they have just got engaged to be married. A baby announcement would tell you that a baby has just been born. A death announcement would tell you that someone has just died.

An advertisement tells you about a product that someone wants to sell you.

A: As @_--_ said "There'll be an announcement for boarding" is more common. E. g. 30 minutes before the flight there'll be an announcement for boarding (or announcement to board).

only in strange instances does "it'll be an announcement for boarding" make sense.
E. g. If you hear a message over the PA system 30 minutes before the flight, it'll be an announcement for boarding (or announcement to board)

but this is unlikely to be be used in this way. the other way is more common.
