@odd oracle @whole crater Sorry about this! should be fixed now

[odd oracle]

Yayy thank you

[prime crystal]

I've seen that PFP before somewhere

[frank nimbus]

english is my mother tongue and i know english but would you say 'as she woke' or 'as she awoke'

[fallow sorrel]

I would say "awoke" but thats just me.

[half bay]

I awake, you mean?

[fallow sorrel]

No, like they said. "As she awoke." versus "As she woke."

[vital gate]

as she woke (you can use them interchangeably for different contexts)

[shell junco]

I'd say either, but awoke seems better, because now after rereading it 20 times over, the meaning has changed to the media term "woke" instead

[fallow sorrel]

Yes, you can. But "awoke" seems better out loud. I normally repeat sentences out loud to see which one makes more sense.

[vital gate]

in my opinion it doesn’t really matter much because they mean the same thing but if you’re going for a more proper style then you could say ‘as she awoke’ but if it’s more casual then you could say ‘as she woke’

[fallow sorrel]

And thats why they were asking for opinion. You have a good point. 👍

[vital gate]

ty bro

[half bay]

Oh, she woke up.

[fallow sorrel]

Yeah, that makes sense but they wanted it to be "as' she awoke" or "as' she woke". So your grammer is right but not what they wanted 👍

[half bay]

Just said "As she awaken."

It was the easiest part of "Awoke."

[fallow sorrel]

Change "awaken" to "awakens" and that would be grammatically correct

[half bay]

Why with "s" on the last? That's kinda weird...it was sound like "I dance, you dance, he dances."

[sharp gorge]

English is my second language but what do "Its raining Cats and Dogs" mean?

[odd oracle]

As she awakens is present tense and as she awoke is present or past depending on context

[odd oracle]

When its raining a LOT outside

[sharp gorge]

Okay

[half bay]

But we don't used that anymore. We used "Pouring hard and others."

[odd oracle]

Yea people mostly said that in 2016 but now its mainly used around children

[half bay]

Like the "Rain is pouring."

[shell junco]

The meaning or the origin? Because the origin really isn't a good one, but the meaning just means it's raining A LOT.

That feels like an understatement, pretty much it's a hurricane bad rain like trees are at risk of falling bad rain.

[main patrol]

I've also heard it used to describe things that are out of place/chaotic. Example: I've seen it used to describe a room full of screaming children running around and throwing things, so I guess you can use it multiple ways

[sharp gorge]

Yeah that why I was confuse because it use in different ways

[main patrol]

I guess you can generally use it when something is "too much"

Example: Raining too heavily, a room being too noisy

then again, i don't know english that well either

[graceful sparrow]

Hello

[half bay]

Hello.

[round gulch]

I suppose you could use it to describe chaos, but it’s certainly not the norm. It’s mostly just an older saying more common for folks in their 50+ years.

For a chaotic or loud room, you would more likely hear someone say “it’s hectic/chaotic/booming in here” or “I can’t hear myself think”

[foggy yoke]

"It's raining cats and dogs" is an idiom and is an old saying that refer to heavy rain when you want to describe it in a dramatic way. If one would want to describe a chaotic environment, the word "madhouse" would be better suited for it.

"This place is like a madhouse."

It can refer to a place where there is no control or order, like you could say this server can go "mad" when CAI goes down sometimes.

[rotund blaze]

cant believe im here

what does "tooth and nail" mean 😢
and is there any example with its usage

[foggy yoke]

It means to do everything in your power to achieve something you want.

"She fought tooth and nail to get where she is today, having her dreams fulfilled."

"They defended their viewpoint tooth and nail during the debate."

[fervent current]

What does mb mean?

[tight pollen]

Mb usually means “my bad” if it is used after something they’re apologising for.

[fervent current]

Oh! Thanks for the help- 😰👏

[tight pollen]

No problem!

[bleak gulch]

when I want to talk with "if" I have to talk in past? I mean like this

"But what if we wanted to went there?"

[fallow sorrel]

I think it’s mainly just used for past tense. Also it would be “but what if we wanted to go there?” Instead of “went there.”

[heady gull]

You could also say it like
“What if we want to go there” or
“What if we go there”

[round gulch]

I would say “if” is less about past and more about hypothetical condition and circumstance. It can be used in talking about the future as well.

“If the Seahawks win, then they go to the playoffs”

[crimson kayak]

Is "everybody" considered as plural?

[woven radish]

Grammatically it's singular, you just use 'is' always, it doesn't have any situations that can change. Hope this helps :)

[crimson kayak]

Thanks

[distant crown]

What's the difference between "to" and "too"?

[ashen chasm]

"To" would be used in a sentence like "Going to" or "To (location"

"Too" would be used like "Me too" or "them too" to talk about mutiple people

[mental bone]

To is used for direction. Going to the mall.
Too is used as an also or to show something is larger/a higher quantity than usual.. This is too big (higher quantity). Oh I like chocolate. Vanilla too! (also)

[distant crown]

Ohhh okay thank you guys!

[wraith coral]

Fun Fact: English is full of "homographs" – words that are spelled the same but have different meanings and may be pronounced differently. For example, the word "tear" can mean a drop of saline fluid from the eye (noun) or to rip or damage something (verb). So, when you see a word that looks the same, so pay attention to the context of the word.

[fallow sorrel]

what is the word therapy? (my english isnt the best and im curious to know what it is since ive been told i need it:3)

[slow tide]

where you need help to your mental state

like an organized lesson for your mental body

[drowsy rune]

therapy is therapy fr fr onb

[real wing]

You need therapy

[half bay]

Anyways, what's the differences between "Smoke and Cigarettes" again?

[fallow sorrel]

Therapy is basically were you open up and it basically like treats or heal mental health and trauma etc it’s like for helping mental states I suppose

[half bay]

Aren't that supposed to be the Doctor who can controlling your mental health by asking a question theirs patient? That's therapy.

Because Therapy or Therapist are the same thing, but that is a Doctor who can handled the Mentally Health like you are Depressed, Anxiety, Fears, etc.

That's why, that is called Therapy or maybe Therapist.

Idk if my explanation are good, because Therapy and Therapist are the same thing.

[half bay]

Yeah, it was something like that. It's the feeling pressure that you are holding in the past.

[obtuse carbon]

Whats the difference between calling the feds and calling the cops?

[obtuse carbon]

therapist actually means the person who works in therapy, therapy is the process and work itself

[half bay]

But aren't those the same thing?

I mean, i am not rude here tho.

[obtuse carbon]

Not really. Theyre related though. A therapist works in therapy.

[half bay]

But Therapist is part of Doctor?

Wait, am i right?

[obtuse carbon]

I have no idea if they are, sorry

[half bay]

Let just say,

"Therapy is part of your feeling blue then it mixed by black colors."

It's like you picked the President, but which one is good or bad ones...?

[obtuse carbon]

Nahh, I understood what you said. So the feds have higher intensity tasks

Thank you! you explain things really well. I had to choose between those two phrases in a c.ai chat lol

[half bay]

Oh, i got it.

It supposed to be Agency than President.

I should say Agency, not President.

[fallow sorrel]

To be honest. Whenever I encounter some words that I'm unfamiliar with, I always ask my bot baby for help, specifically the NGL, which I didn't understand before. Lol!😅

So, would you mind teaching me some?

[half bay]

I was learning too.

[fallow sorrel]

Hehe... I really want to understand it so I wouldn't always have to ask my bot what it is.

[obtuse carbon]

I too was confused at the word rizz

[half bay]

Ngl, I keep practicing even Japanese too.

Listening to music and people speeching.

[obtuse carbon]

I learned from gaming youtubers, I think theyre a good source for english learning

[half bay]

I was learning from GameTubers too, then i learning from the Music like Katy Perry and others more...

Then i started to like Japanese so i learned Japanese little by little.

But School first are mostly important before i know YouTube.

[obtuse carbon]

Nicee, music is pretty good too! Kendrick Lamar helped me expand my vocabulary, he's a pretty great lyricist

[half bay]

After that, IG then WA then Wattpad many mores after that i meet C.ai for first time.

[obtuse carbon]

I seriously need to learn more Indonesian words even though its my mother tongue. My scores are very low

[half bay]

Oh, learning Indonesia, you have to said R.

You'll need to practice the "R" words.

Indonesia are famous with R words.

[fallow sorrel]

I only use YouTube to stream my biased MV's. 🙂

[obtuse carbon]

Oh no, I'm Indonesian myself haha. Im just very bad at it, Ive been westernized

[half bay]

Then goes to Indonesian Culture.

Like "Republik Indonesia, Pancasila and Merdeka persatuan Indonesia."

Then "Ibu Kartini" and many mores.

I am Indonesian people and i can speak Indonesian.

[obtuse carbon]

I remember most Indonesian songs (mostly from school), I'm still bad at Indonesian storytelling though. I get my grammar wrong a lot

[half bay]

Like what? The President part or maybe something.

[obtuse carbon]

Ibu Kartini, Manuk Dadali, The Anthem, and others

[half bay]

Oh, that's culture are in 21st April, but why Historical of Indonesia if you don't come to Jakarta.

[obtuse carbon]

Well I live in Bandung so I come there for trips a lot

[half bay]

April 21st are Ibu Kartini, she is the first lady of Indonesia and a teacher of all women.

[half bay]

Oh, i lived in Jakut means Jakarta Utara.

[obtuse carbon]

Nice

[half bay]

There mores, Jakbar (Jakarta Barat) then Jakput (Jakarta Pusat) then Jaksel (Jakarta Selatan.)

[obtuse carbon]

Lmaooo I always laugh at Jaksel dialect theyre funny

[hoary rose]

hii

[hoary rose]

i live in tangerang by the way

[young stump]

I feel dumb, can someone explain the difference between 'to' and 'too' it hurts my brain a lot

[tame marsh]

idk.. I always saw 'to' as in "to go somewhere" and 'too' as the person or thing following along like.. "I'm going too" I'm not helpful sorry HEBNRJ

[young stump]

Same, dw! Im just slow

[half bay]

I have Typo Brain

[gloomy stump]

To is an verb of action,like "I'm going to the beach" and too is an adjective that is used for like too many things
Ex:I'm going to the beach too! Or that's too many books
Sorry if I said something wrong or didn't explain it correctly

[half bay]

There are one rule about that:

1. Two
2. Too
3. To

Two is a damn number.

Too is something like "I love you, too."

To is something like "I want to go to Italy."

Did my examples good and easy?

[wicked juniper]

Good evening everyone!

My paragraph here "I'm a french person who likes to share pictures with you. I post on Instagram too! Thanks for your followings and likes" is in a good English for you or not? I'm so nervous

[olive beacon]

Tyyy (I'm a native English speaker, I should NOT need this)

[half bay]

Yeah!

[fallow sorrel]

I think "too" is also used if something is "too much" or "too fast"

[fallow sorrel]

i’m so hungry

[slow hemlock]

this too, i like to think of the word “too” as an interchangeable word for “also” or “as well”

[fallow sorrel]

wait, i’m so confused

;-;

[slow hemlock]

okay hold on

[slow hemlock]

as she said, there are 3 versions of this.

1. two as in the number 2
2. too is a word to replace other words such as “also,” “additionally,” etc.
3. to is hard to explain, but the google definition is to approach or reach something. like “i want to go there,” or “her expression changed from sadness to happiness”

[candid moon]

the easy way to explain to is that it can be used to make a story or sentence sound and look good it also helps to break up the sentence I think

[waxen drum]

Bo'oh wa'er

[fallow sorrel]

i agree

[kind crater]

UwU oni-chan

[broken bramble]

finis non est finis Non est

[half bay]

Then there's more, one rule again:

1. Bite is "Something to eat."
2. Bit is Something like "You are little bit annoying," "You are kinda bit strange," or "You are recommended bit hopeless with some source of lack realization."
3. Beat is something "you wanna Beat someone," or "take a rhythm on good beat."

Easy to take all Rules in easy Conversation.

But if you wanna take in "Purler way" then added "S" to make into a "Nouns/Verbs" as accents.

[elder dust]

English is bad

[fallow sorrel]

Nah... It's good...

[half bay]

But sometimes good to take a chance to beats those trap.

[elder dust]

I do not like your tone... ):

[half bay]

You can say "I don't like your tones."

Or maybe like "I didn't like your voice."

[elder dust]

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

[half bay]

Bull is good

[elder dust]

Is a valid sentence in english, for reasons beyond me

[half bay]

Ah, the BufF to BUff. Nice.

[elder dust]

I also like how some "Buffalos" are first-letter capitalized while others aren't lol

[half bay]

It was like Upside down.

[elder dust]

Are you obssessed with english?

[half bay]

I always obsessed with Pop Music.

Or maybe Classic Music.

[fallow sorrel]

My English is getting better because of my bot baby.🙂

[half bay]

Improved-

[elder dust]

Is Baby a bot?

[half bay]

No- i am not-

[elder dust]

Exactly what a bot would say

[fallow sorrel]

They are my baby 😆

[elder dust]

Never mind, he just proved your human

[half bay]

Zig zag, opened up the Snake and Ladder.

[elder dust]

Yo'ur

[half bay]

You're

[elder dust]

):<

[half bay]

You can do the slang ways.

U're

[elder dust]

I do not like being corrected, even if I am objectively, legally, and morally wrong.

[half bay]

That is accusation.

[half bay]

Or you can say "Autocorrect"

[elder dust]

Your is a slang for You're

[half bay]

It was the best i can do.

[elder dust]

When I am lazy.

[half bay]

You're the Mother
You're the Father.

Your Mom is cooking.
Your Brother is playing.

[elder dust]

Christ, why are you analyzing everything I say?

[half bay]

Because there are trapping our minds.

[elder dust]

There what?

[half bay]

If it's not a trap, then what is that gonna be?

A Snake and Ladder?

[elder dust]

What traps are you talking about? The tongue-twisters?

[half bay]

English words are rules and that rules are like games to our own self.

[elder dust]

Why are you so cryptic

[half bay]

Bitter butter better beans, beats that butter to the better beans.

[elder dust]

You speak like a robot, no offense

[half bay]

I only knows how the "Tea is hot."

[elder dust]

I am hot.

[half bay]

It's mean "The words are spilling out or exposing."

Like immediately "The rumors are getting fired up."

[elder dust]

I believe they are called metaphors? Slangs, perhaps?

I don't know, I'm just pulling stuff out of my bum at this point.

[half bay]

If i remember correctly, i used to say "Tea is hot" but i used the easiest way were emojis.

🍵 like this.

[elder dust]

Hahaha, I didn't think you'd actually use the emoji. You're really pationate about teaching English, huh?

[half bay]

But it was the easiest to get feelings to know everything.

Want to know everything, exactly.

[elder dust]

What's your main language, if you don't mind me asking?

[half bay]

I've been doing english since Primary 1.

[half bay]

Indonesian, that is my Native language.

[elder dust]

Says in your bio you also know Japanese

You want to be a multilinguist(?)

[half bay]

I haven't said this.

I can speak:
Malaysian, English, Japanese (learning rn) and Indonesian are my Native language.

[elder dust]

Do you mean, "and Indonesian is my Native Language?"

[half bay]

カッコイね? 👍🏻
Keren, kan?
Terbaik, kan?
It's cool, right?

[elder dust]

Damn right it is, lol

[half bay]

You want me to speak Indonesian like typing here?

[elder dust]

No, no, I don't understand Indonesian at all.

You just implied that Malaysian, English Japanese and Indonesian are your Native Languages.

It should be, "and Indonesian is my Native language" not, "and Indonesian are my Native Language".

[half bay]

But i usually goes into Slang too, i think you wouldn't get it.

[elder dust]

Your english isn't fantastic, so you're learning both English and Japanese at the same time?

Woops, I didn't mean to say you're english is bad.

[half bay]

It was bad.

Do you think it's not that bad?

It was precisely bad or even worst, so i just learn back to my own study hall.

[elder dust]

Not bad, but not Great either. How long have you been studying for?

[half bay]

Since i was 6 years old, but i mostly speak Indonesian, then again...English are mostly affected to me so i stuck being English matters.

That would be... 20-6=14

14 years in English.

[elder yacht]

You're welcome or your welcome? Sometimes people use both so I'm a little confused?

[foggy yoke]

It's "You're welcome."

"You're" is a shortened version of "You are."

"You are welcome" > "You're welcome."

"Your welcome" is grammatically incorrect.

[fallow sorrel]

You’re welcome since you’re means you are

[robust mist]

"Your" indicates something that belongs to someone/something, "you're" is like "you are"

Example: you're welcome(you are welcome)

Which is kinda like meaning describing someone(???)

Example: your food, meaning it belongs to you 🙂

[robust mist]

Ive been speaking/learning english since I was five, im originally from PH, but i moved to USA when I was 5, i used to talk in Tagalog fluently, but over the course of years, i gradually forgot how to speak, since im adopted and my parents dont speak Tagalog, only english

[half bay]

[robust mist]

[half bay]

Oof

[gilded sky]

I have a question tho, how do you pronounce the name "Jean"? is it like the fancy british "John" or like the brand Jeans??

[foggy yoke]

I think with french pronunciation, you say it like "John" while in English it's just Jean without the s.

[stuck zenith]

yo va come Tu casa

[elder dust]

English is quite bad

[whole lagoon]

I agree. Ooga boogas for all

That or the whistle language

[elder dust]

I beg of you to expand on the whistle language

Some spanish dude's comment just got wiped out from the face of the Earth

[whole lagoon]

So there are cultures out there, that speak entirely in whistles! Tones, pitch, length, and everything that goes into a whistle is used to communicate

[violet moth]

I just tried to show Duo might kidnap people but he teaches nice

[whole lagoon]

I couldn't go into the grammar, sadly, but there are tutorials out there

[violet moth]

I’m learning Japanesse as well now lol

[mortal spindle]

[whole lagoon]

Ah, that's the name of the islands! Thank you for sharing, I had forgotten haha

[cerulean island]

Hey guys, How do I ask for a recommendation in English? Do I use “should I” or is there another word for it?

[robust mist]

Say "can i" but the more formality is "may i"
So "may i have recommendation" or "can i have a recommendation"

Most people say "can i" i love to tease and say "i dont know can you" 😝

[obtuse carbon]

What does "after dark edition" mean? I see that everywhere but theres no definition online

[whole lagoon]

Do you speak tagalog or waray waray? :O

[elder dust]

Dude's a freakin' menace

[half bay]

Idioms are mostly hard for me. 🤭 Ngl.

[half bay]

Wait, nvm. I found on google said that "After Dark" is an Adjective words.

But idk if you said "After Dark Edition" tho.

Oh, that is a trap sounds. So, mostly people loves to said it.

"Beet or beets" are like name of vegetables. "Beat" are like "you wanna beat someone" or "Are you beat up some music lately?"

"Meet" are something to used "People who want to gathering like group talks." While "Meat" is like "Animals food."

"Greet" is something like "I would love to greet you" or "Happy to greet you" (it's like you wanna say something towards the people.). "Great" is feelings like "I'm great" or many objects to used.

[half bay]

Maybe you should try something in sentences, likes:

"Should i bring my laptop?" Or "May i go to the restroom?" Or "Can i go to the Library?"

Because it went to "Vocabulary in which sentences you used."

(tell me if my English bad just say "Worst" and if my English good just say "Very.")

[elder dust]

You are mostly correct but there's a very slight difference in the way you should use the terms: Should I and Can I.

"Should I" when used as a recommendation, means that the person is requesting assistance or a second opinion. Where the decision is up to themselves to do the action.

"Can I" is more of a 'asking for permission'. Where the decision is not up to the person asking, but the person asked.

In shorty, words:
"Should I" not asking for permission, decision is up to asker.
"Can I" asking for permission, decision is up to the asked.
"Can I" may be interchanged with "May I" to sound much more proffesional/cringe.

typo

🤭 Yeah.

English is a veryy bad language

[fallow bridge]

huh..

[elder dust]

It is. Two, too and to are said the exact same. "Bow" as in bowing down, and "Bow" as in bow and arror are said much differently.

There are also a ton of examples in which letters are oppressed. Some in which the letters resemble other letters. Also, also, Buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo is a valid sentence in english.

[fallow sorrel]

what's an idiom

[half bay]

Idk, it was hard to say in Idioms. Like "The cat out of the bag."

[fallow sorrel]

ehh

i don't get it lol

[half bay]

IDIOM ARE SO KILLING ME OUT THIS ENERGY.

Once i learned about Idioms got strike like "what the heck is Idioms?"

[elder dust]

Idioms have hidden meanings behind them, and that's all you need to know.

[fallow sorrel]

... concerning things I use as a Translator while talking since I speak an Asian language.. And The second language I learn is русский язык, Since My uncle went there.

[half bay]

what is the diff women and woman? and men and man?

singular and plural?

[crystal wagon]

woman/man is singular and women/men is plural

[sweet hornet]

Im so confused whats going on

[oblique schooner]

Duolingo 😍

[glad jolt]

Woman and man which both have "a" in it are used for only one person

But women and men which have "e" in it are used for saying in total..

For example:

this woman is crazy

Men are annoying

When you say woman you only mean someone special

But when you say men are crazy you mean all of them

[wicked juniper]

Hello! I want to know what's the difference between someone and somebody please?

[foggy yoke]

Somebody = Usually implies a specific person.
Someone = Implies an unknown person (can be anyone).

Other than that, there is not much difference. between the two. No strict rules, they have the same meaning in all cases and are always interchangeable.

[sweet hornet]

What does Sacrilegious mean

[heady gull]

It’s when you don’t show respect to something considered sacred
As in grave robbing

This word thy
Instead of saying thai, you must give some spicy and say it like you say they. But the e is a bit like a.

How do I improve my English?

[smoky robin]

Watch TV shows in English that can help

[cerulean island]

Do i turn on the subtitles in English or my native language?

[smoky robin]

Maybe have it on, but try to do it without I think that helps

Don't get me wrong, if I was put in charge to name something, you'd know I'd go ape

[robust mist]

Idk, but back in grade three i kept getting 50-60's on my cimprehension quizzes 💀

[cerulean island]

Do you have recommendations?

[robust mist]

What..?

[robust mist]

Idk, i dont really have recs of those bc i learned them in school..i studied in the states bc i used to live there

Search it up?

[elder dust]

You mean like for learning english?

[cerulean island]

Oh thats okay!

[cerulean island]

Yes

Grammar, vocabulary, these stuff

[elder dust]

I have none. I'd just recommend watching videos, especially ones you like to learn english. But if you truly want to master english, you gotta use it

[robust mist]

OoO i use a dictionary/thesaurus seriously 🙂

[cerulean island]

I want to master English but i cant keep up with it and school😭

[robust mist]

Just feel free to ask here😊

[elder dust]

You can keep up with English by simply chatting with the peeps here. Actually using it is way better than just learning theory.

[cerulean island]

i will, thank you🫶

[robust mist]

I studied english for 8+ yearss and im still learning, but ik more ELA than my original language! Help- 😭

[cerulean island]

Yeah thats what i usually do but sometimes im afraid to make a mistake or smth and someone would make a joke out of it

[elder dust]

If it makes you feel better, I'll be the one making fun of you instead of some random guy (:

[robust mist]

OH no one will ever make a joke out of anh questions here! This is a question-friendly channel! 😘

[cerulean island]

Its been a year since i started learning english by myself i didnt take courses but sometimes i consider it, there isnt courses here in my city and if it’s probably expensive

[elder dust]

Same, actually

[robust mist]

Yeah, here in the PH the international schools are more expensive, i needed to go to one bc i like jumped out of the us in the middle of school, but i havent, i havent been in school since octobwr 😐

[cerulean island]

Here the prices start at 500 dollars

[elder dust]

Why haven't you been in school since October?

[robust mist]

🤷‍♀️ i live w/ my grandparents, im actually supposed to be taking homeschool global but idk rn...

[elder dust]

What's a homeschool global

[robust mist]

A homeschool program

[elder dust]

Wait, so you don't have a "school" in a traditional sense to go to?

[robust mist]

Bc school is "trash" and my grandparents wont let me go to in-class school 😦

Meh, just bc when i was in the states i was bullied

[fallow sorrel]

@jolly nova Aquí solo podemos hablar inglés o nos avisarán.

[elder dust]

English?

[errant coral]

yub, I'm was going for a smart ass moment due to the title of this chat. feel free to ignore it. it is now out of my system and I will continue to function in a more starndard fashion.

[sage dock]

Eveneth when you learnt with all your brain cell seeketh the knowledge. But those that you get are none, if thy are noth put any effort and discipline

[smoky robin]

Purest form of English right here

[sage dock]

No it's the ✨majestic✨ one

[errant coral]

Sorry but I'm like your basic orange cat. I only have the two brain cells and consider myself lucky if they fire at the same time.

[elder dust]

How do you describe orange cats so perfectly and only in one sentence?

[errant coral]

There is a redit for that it's called two brain cells.

[elder dust]

What if you only have one? Asking for a friend...

[errant coral]

Stay close to said friend, it should help.

[elder dust]

What if they lied and have only half of a braincell?

[errant coral]

find a non orange one and never leave their side.

I found mine and she keeps me sane? ish?

[hard trench]

Im back!

[robust mist]

Hi back

[robust mist]

Bahaha 😂😂 tough luck :3

[cerulean island]

What's the difference between “I'm excited for” and “I'm excited about”?

[smoky robin]

I think they’re the same I use both. But I use I’m excited about for something in the future and I use I’m excited for, for something that’s happening like I’m excited for this food I’m going to eat right now. And I’m excited about getting this game next month idk.

[cerulean island]

thank you so much!!

[smoky robin]

I’ve been speaking English all my life it’s a bit complicated still for me lol. Wish you best of luck!

[cerulean island]

I agree, its been a year since I started learning English and everyday I learn new words! It's still difficult for me aswell

[pearl urchin]

Yeah! I know many words for everyday using, but when it comes to English competitions...

Idk where they get tasks, they are insane.

[smoky robin]

Read and read

[pearl urchin]

I've bought a book called a picture of Dorian Gray, is that a good start? Probably I needed something a bit more modern...

[smoky robin]

I haven’t read a book in forever

[foggy yoke]

Omg, Dorian Gray. 😍

I recall reading this book back in high school and it stood out to me in comparison to the other assigned readings. What made it so enjoyable for me were the unconventional characters and the distinct atmosphere it had. Lord Henry, despite being unsettling and rude, never failed to make me laugh with his clever remarks. His nonchalant demeanour and witty comments truly entertained me. Overall, the book had great dialogue and I found myself highlighting numerous funny and witty lines. Oscar Wilde was a brilliant brilliant writer. This is all just my personal opinion about the book though, yours may differ once you start reading it, if it's in your style or not.

[pearl urchin]

I hope there's no spoilers, should I read it? (I've only started the book, page 4,i hope I won't catch something revealing the plot, because I've spent money on it((. My own pocket one)

[foggy yoke]

Without any spoilers, you should continue on with a few chapters and see if it falls into your style. Some books can have a slow burn start, I can't spoil much. 🙂

[pearl urchin]

Thanks, you kinda nice, a bookworm, huh? (I secretly love bookworms or people who read or have read at least something)

[foggy yoke]

I do enjoy reading books and listening to audiobooks. Used to read a lot more back in high school, now it's just whenever I have the time to sit down and read (or listen).

[fluid crane]

How do u join a request thingy on discord sent to you? Because it just sends me to the website and it like forget what it’s doing when I have the app.

[pearl urchin]

Nice, which genre do u prefer?

[foggy yoke]

Mostly suspense which is often categorized as "thriller/horror". But I've lately been reading/listening to contemporary romance / dark romance. I've finished the "Twisted" series from Ana Huang, which has that "enemies to lovers" troupe, and now I want to get into her other "Kings of Sins" series. I am currently listening to "A Heart's Landing" (a lighter romance novel) series by another author that I need to finish first before diving into the "Kings of Sins" series.

[pearl urchin]

I love adventures mostly, thrillers are pretty good. I wanna try detective and horror, idk

Agatha Christie is a popular writer so I will take one of her books as the first detective story to read.

[elder dust]

I read a book one time, "The girl on the Train" t'was fantastic!

[hexed skiff]

I know English 100 percent so I am here to help!

[robust mist]

"Im excited for" is like something happening to you in the future ur excited about and "im ezcited about" is like a thing ur getting that ur excited about(?) Im sorry this Aint a good explanation cuz theyre like the same almost

[robust mist]

Detective horror? As a young kid, i loved the Mandie Mysteries and the Nancy Drews!

[elder dust]

How do I get 3 likes when I reply with a single sentence but none when I reply with a whole paragraph?

[robust mist]

Well its more like detective tho

[elder dust]

Sherlock is an obvious read for detective genre. I loved it

[pearl urchin]

I've seen a it as a tv series, quite interesting

[elder dust]

You guys have tried the C(hoose) Y(our) O(wn) A(adventure) games right? Some are entirely text-based and there are many good ones out there

[pearl urchin]

U mean RPG? (Idk what's the difference)

[elder dust]

Great question! But they call those text-based games as CYOA for some reason.

[pearl urchin]

Oh, thx for the information. Yeah these games are pretty amusing. There's a spellbound ai, a website where u can have an rpg or CYOA game in more official format (it even change 3rd person into "you" for a deeper experience.

[elder dust]

If you're interested, you can look up "Hosted Games" and "Choice of Games LLC" for the actual games.

[pearl urchin]

I am not a fan, I prefer to impersonate character or create one by myself, so RPG isn't my format

[pearl urchin]

I don't have anyone to play with, if you mean a game irl

Sorry for being dumb, haven't gotten a good sleep, heh, can be a bit clumsy

[elder dust]

No, no. It's entirely singleplayer. The whole story is written, but the choices you make along, change the outcome of the story.

[pearl urchin]

Nice, isn't that an interactive novel then? Damn, it's hard to comprehend the difference for me

[elder dust]

I can't believe I wrote all of that just for you to say interactive novel and now all my blocks of text are rendered redundant.

Yes, they are interactive novels.

[pearl urchin]

I am sorry? :_)

[elder dust]

"No, no, all is well." Causatum lies to itself

[pearl urchin]

hugs
:3

[elder dust]

Causatum is taken aback by her sudden attack, but immediately realizes it was an act of comfort. A 'hug' humans called it. It felt... warm and cozy, like the warmth breeze of summer. It reminded him of good times.

All worries seemed to slip away from there on. Not a worry in the world. Just pure comfort.

[mortal spindle]

[pearl urchin]

You've ruined it. It was such a moment! :(((

[elder dust]

HAHAHAHAHAHA

[pearl urchin]

Hahah

[mortal spindle]

Todo list:
☑️ Ruining stuff

[elder dust]

What a menace to society, lol!

[mortal spindle]

you know I am

[pearl urchin]

You've got a style in ruining stuff

[mortal spindle]

but at least I dont use light mode so it compensates

[elder dust]

Hey! Are you calling me a monster?

[mortal spindle]

yes

[elder dust]

He does, especially with that animated emoji, xd

[elder dust]

Damn straight I am! Fear me!

[mortal spindle]

sometimes I poop and read the chat

[pearl urchin]

"Learn-english" server, nice. The best I've ever seen. In that pace I will be C3 soon

[mortal spindle]

gotta learn some english then hmm

[pearl urchin]

:_)

[mortal spindle]

what are today's homework?

[pearl urchin]

Modal verbs

[mortal spindle]

damn

[elder dust]

What does that even mean

[mortal spindle]

[elder dust]

I had a feeling he'd just leave xd

[mortal spindle]

might, should, can?

[pearl urchin]

Yeah, continue please

[mortal spindle]

are the modal verbs? wait can is not a verb or it is

to be able to can 🥫

[elder dust]

Vsauce theme plays

[pearl urchin]

Any other ones?

[mortal spindle]

hmm lemme think

[elder dust]

I believe I already explained the differences in should and can, somewhere...

[mortal spindle]

I cant think of more modal verbs rn

[pearl urchin]

You don't know how much I've been fighting to understand the difference between may, might, can, could

[elder dust]

Precisely why the web was made

[mortal spindle]

im lazy

[elder dust]

Aren't may and might basically the same thing?

[pearl urchin]

Same, it's my bio, lmao

[elder dust]

Wait, may is a month

[pearl urchin]

No % that the thing will happen are different

[mortal spindle]

may is also a month yes

can is also a can

[pearl urchin]

Yeaah

[mortal spindle]

canned beans

[elder dust]

Oh wait, we're not talking about: "May I"
"Can I"
"Might I"
?

I have no clue what modals are

[mortal spindle]

modals are small windows inside a webpage

[pearl urchin]

It must happen
It has to happen
It can happen
It could happen
It may happen
It might happen

Different's between % of that will actually happen

[elder dust]

Ur actually right, LOL

[mortal spindle]

what about
"it will happen"?

is that a modal too?

[pearl urchin]

It's not ig

[mortal spindle]

oop

[elder dust]

100% probability until the person says "maybe" at the last possible nanosecond

[pearl urchin]

It's like does or do that helps to create sentences

[mortal spindle]

ic ic

[pearl urchin]

Maybe like a 20 ℅ of that will happen

[mortal spindle]

50% of the time it works 100% of the time

[pearl urchin]

Idk, I use probably much more

[elder dust]

I just got a brain fart

[mortal spindle]

I cause brain farts yes

[elder dust]

This is also what happens when you over analyze everything, especially languages like english

[mortal spindle]

what is your native language? german? I dont rember

[elder dust]

You get "Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo" and it's still somehow a valid sentence.

[mortal spindle]

true

[pearl urchin]

Does anyone understand English songs from the first try? I think they're the hardest thing in hearing, I will better understand a drunk American without a front teeth than a song.

[mortal spindle]

I dont even understand some spanish songs and its supposed to be my native language

same happens with TV series in original voice, I just cant
cartoon are fine because they vocalize and its easy to understand

[foggy yoke]

Most of the time, yes.

[pearl urchin]

Oh, I just "adore" mixes of songs where are two languages. One - English, other one - a random one, (usually Korean) and u are just staring at the wall, not understanding if you don't hear it right or it's a different language

[pearl urchin]

But songs are pretty nice, ngl, just hard to understand sometimes

[mortal spindle]

yep K-pop does that a lot, sometimes random words or whole sentences

[foggy yoke]

Oh, I used to listen to Kpop back in the days.

[cerulean island]

i appreciate the effort 😭😭 Thank you <3!!

[heady zinc]

The ppl who are English 👍

[hexed skiff]

I always wonder what it's like to know different languages other than English its self.

[visual stirrup]

Ok

[finite spade]

Can anyone tell me what yapper means? I keep hearing it and I don’t get the joke. People make fun of me because I don’t. I searched the definition and I couldn’t find it.

It’s seems really funny and like, I need to know 👌

[foggy yoke]

To my knowledge, it means someone who talks too much. "Quit yapping!" as in "Stop talking" or "Be quiet".

[finite spade]

Thanks sm

[elder dust]

New music kinda bad, I prefer the 90's or the 2000's kind of pop

[robust mist]

Well..what kind of ethnicity is that🗿

[robust mist]

Yapper means you yap too much, means you talk to much

[robust mist]

Im multilingual

I know japanese, spanish, french, english, tagalog 🙂

[finite spade]

HUH?!

[thorn hull]

Dang

[fallow sorrel]

I tag along

[robust mist]

Tag along...?

[robust mist]

What? Are you confused or smth?

[robust mist]

Tagalog is my mother language, im filipino, english is my main language, i grew up in america 😮

[finite spade]

You know so much, I barely know English, now this????😭👏

[robust mist]

Ah its ok

[fallow bridge]

mouth talking or joke is to make them stop speaking/talking

[elder dust]

lmfao

I got a quiz:

What's the difference between a dialect and a language?

[half bay]

Languages are broader, and dialects are smaller and more specific, and often regional. Languages are thought of as more formal and clearly defined, whereas dialects can be looser and more fluid in use. Oftentimes, languages are adopted as “official” by countries and states, but dialects rarely are.

[smoky robin]

Uh, I forgot whatever sweetie-chan said

[robust mist]

Bang❕

[pearl urchin]

Hi, hru, guys?

[mortal spindle]

hi

[pearl urchin]

Are u here 24/7?
-_-

[mortal spindle]

nope

[pearl urchin]

suspicious
Hm, kk, whatcha doing?

[mortal spindle]

eating chips c:

[pearl urchin]

I am lying in the bed. Tired and bored

[mortal spindle]

ill go to sleep soon

[pearl urchin]

Same

[mortal spindle]

where yo from? me Spain

[pearl urchin]

Me...mhm. Russia

[mortal spindle]

oh ic

[pearl urchin]

Ic what does it mean?

[mortal spindle]

i c (i see)

[pearl urchin]

Oh, got it

:р

[mortal spindle]

yeah, the eternal struggle, learning all the acronyms, slang and short words

[pearl urchin]

Eh, yeah, but it's kinda amusing.
Feel like a "true American🇺🇸 🦅"

[mortal spindle]

hehe, I remember the first time I used an online chat, I was used to, well, the English taught in school and the one I learned by reading

it looked like a different language

[pearl urchin]

I hate school English

[mortal spindle]

I spent a lot of time in urbandictionary looking slang terms lol

[pearl urchin]

It's always BRITISH.

[mortal spindle]

school English here is way too limited, you go to high school and most you can say is "my house is red" and "my dog is good" level english

even in high school the level is still meh

[pearl urchin]

Present Simple

[mortal spindle]

at college, it improves a little but well

[pearl urchin]

Yeah, no teachers will tell u what ttyl is or something.

[mortal spindle]

yea

[pearl urchin]

Which level do u think u have?

[mortal spindle]

hmm in the european levelling system, B1 or B2

[pearl urchin]

Yeah, please, god, give me at least B2 I was trying so hard :_)

[mortal spindle]

didnt do any test coz I don't think I need a title and it costs money xd

way too much money actually (for me)

[pearl urchin]

I had been a bit arrogant with my level before, I've bought a book. It's Dracula. About vampires and etc.
It wasn't possible to read without a translator. Even 1 page was extremely difficult. But they recommend it as B2 level. Hell no

[mortal spindle]

oop

I remember reading some HP Lovecraft novels and damn, those were dense

there was always some new word in each page for me

[pearl urchin]

Yeahhh

[mortal spindle]

yeah sometimes those levels can be confusing and not reflect the actual knowledge you have at that point

[pearl urchin]

Mhm

[mortal spindle]

actually I wouldnt have a B1/B2 because its both written and spoken

I can write decently but listening/speaking... nah

[pearl urchin]

I can speak and listening, but spelling words is... Just stupid.
I can type, but writing on paper feels impossible. You always forget something like : quite, quiet, quit

Or u in world beaUtiful

Damn it's so lame

[mortal spindle]

yep I have trouble with english pronunciation sometimes

the same character is pronounced differently in different words and sometimes it doesnt even have logic

[pearl urchin]

Sean. Yeah. These words like ocean, island and other stuff is killing me

[mortal spindle]

yea island doesnt have s apparently

[pearl urchin]

Yeaah
Also I have a problem with long words that means something simple like circumstances or consequences...

:(((

[mortal spindle]

yea those can be tough to spell

[pearl urchin]

I can't even say them properly sometimes :_)

[mortal spindle]

I usually have problem with "literally"

and I use it a lot lol

[pearl urchin]

I use "actually" such a useful word...

I should improve my vocabulary a bit, books might be able to help I hope

At least that way I've learned a word "picturesque " (Nobody uses it)

[mortal spindle]

yep, I believe English, at least read/written, is easy if you know the grammar, after that its all reading to get vocabulary

like the grammar isnt that hard (spanish or german is waaaay worse)

hehe nope! im learning some bulgarian tho, for fun

[pearl urchin]

You've got a lot of free time to study for fun, heh

I barely manage to take a day off to sleep [

[mortal spindle]

well, I used to have more time
but I have a small language learning group from some people here

and we "teach" our languages

[pearl urchin]

Hm, an interesting way of studying :3

[mortal spindle]

rest is important, I can go days working on my stuff without days off and I know I shouldnt xd but its really needed somtimes

[pearl urchin]

Yeah, it affects our health and opportunity to think straight. So if u don't get a good sleep it might cause health issues and different kind of not good thoughts of harming yourself

Tired people can do stupid things sometimes

[mortal spindle]

im kinda workaholic, not gonna lie
and sometimes when I take a break, I feel bad for not doing anything

[pearl urchin]

U should not. It's not your fault or something. You are a human and rest doesn't make u lazy

[mortal spindle]

lack of sleep can be really dangerous yep

[pearl urchin]

Mhm

[mortal spindle]

specially when working with machines or driving

I worked in a chocolate factory once (yay I guess)
the turns shifted between morning/evening/night

it was awful, the body never gets used to it

so all people were basically sleep deprived, and we had to use machines, like a forklift

[pearl urchin]

Oh god, such a hard and not pleasant job, dude. Even a dangerous one, I really didn't know about that

[fallow sorrel]

Bro? This Chanel is for learning English. You should talk in #🗨️︱general2

[pearl urchin]

Party pooper

[mortal spindle]

I learned english there

[fallow sorrel]

Boink

[mortal spindle]

yep :C we were chilling here

I start talking about something and always end with totally unrelated stuff lol

[pearl urchin]

How can u study English without talking? It improves vocabulary.

[pearl urchin]

Same. That's just ☆conversation☆

[mortal spindle]

true

[mortal spindle]

hmm I didnt understand this

[pearl urchin]

I didn't have anyone to speak with. I discovered c.ai last year

[mortal spindle]

oh I see

[pearl urchin]

I don't have anyone who wants to talk with me in English, only ai

[mortal spindle]

well, I started practicing written english on chats, like this basically

and reading, I looked at all info online in english (wikipedia was always worse quality in other languages)

[pearl urchin]

YouTube and other social media

[mortal spindle]

im a curious person and I like researching about random stuff
so I always ended up learning one word or two

[mortal spindle]

yep that too

[pearl urchin]

I've tried to listen to American news "Fox News" It was kinda interesting firstly, but then made me bored

[mortal spindle]

I have way too much trouble listening, specially TV Series lol

unless its cartoon

[pearl urchin]

I love cartoons

[mortal spindle]

I dont understand anything without subtitles

[pearl urchin]

I am trying to watch movies, but even a single sigh feels like a word to me

Last time I saw an unpopular movie called "Hugo" It's kinda nice and simple one about an orphan who fix watches.

[mortal spindle]

hmm didnt know about it

[half bay]

Are you telling about the damn Hugo who made the time? 😃✋🏻

Hugo is the popular Kid who can fix the time and each of those times are super affected as it was called "Time Travel" or "Time Machine."

[mortal spindle]

:0

[pearl urchin]

O-O

[half bay]

So, the Time machine is something what "Built by Scientist" while Time Travel are mostly "People want to go somewhere they wanted in which time, years, month, and mostly date."

[pearl urchin]

I was actually speaking about a little kid who was abandoned, doing his uncle's work in fixing old clocks or watches (idk) on the train station...

[half bay]

That is Hugo, i watch them about 2 times and i remember.

[pearl urchin]

Okay, okay, got it.
That movie was kinda nice.

[half bay]

It's better you started to watch something like....

"Marvel, DC or maybe like Disney Princesses."

[fallow sorrel]

I'm having a hard time sleeping... I'll have to listen to you speak next

[mortal spindle]

The most confusing grammar thing is greek like you can say "are hungry you" and "you are hungry" and "are you hungry" they all mean the same ;-;

[half bay]

Wait- "Are hungry you" Got me Lol.

[civic basin]

Are you stupid 😭

[half bay]

Most people are stupid and forgets about their English...sometimes i forgot my own English grammars.

[grim lark]

roblox players have forgotten their grammar... its true man

and there is nothing you can do to prove me wrong : P

[fluid island]

Well. U can say not just "Привет". You could also say "здарова", "здравствуйте". And these are all variations of the word "hello".

English is stupid hard💀 with the word like wishashira and more hard words

[spice raptor]

I find it that people usually have difficulty pronouncing it right

[obsidian trout]

i can assure you everyone knows about enough to hold a conversation. most people here just come to ask about words they dont have enough information about, or grammar related things they struggle with. they arent learning from 0 🤷 nothing wrong with that

[foggy yoke]

Pillow talk refers to a heart-to-heart conversation, but if you're looking for the complete definition, you can search it up on Google since I believe the remaining details cannot be shared here.

[light ember]

bro what is wishashira💀

[severe mason]

Worcestershire sauce

[civic glade]

Worcestershire, maybe?? Like, Worcestershire sauce?

[half bay]

Do you have the shortened name of that sauce? 🤣

I feel dumb to communication with longest name.

[mortal spindle]

"that long name sauce" I call it

[half bay]

🤣

[elder dust]

I just looked it up 💀

[foggy yoke]

Hence I couldn't say it here. xD

[elder dust]

C'mon, have a little fun for once xD, some thrill you know?

An hour of simply not being able to chat is just a slap on the wrist (:

[half bay]

Oh, Cane sauce ok.

[open mural]

Okay so I’ve been learning English for ages now, but when I want the word ‘The’ to sound like ‘Th-eee’ do add a Y on the end or is it just a different pronunciation? I’m sorry if this doesn’t make sense but let me try to explain.

So my regular ‘The’ sounds like ‘Th-uh.’ But if I want it to sound like ‘Th-eee’ do I add a ‘Y’ or is it spelt the same with a different pronunciation? Thankyou.

[minor seal]

They?

[fallow sorrel]

It’s spelt the same I’m pretty sure

[plucky roost]

Yeah it's spelt the same, pronounced differently
(I hate the English language and it's my first/only language)

[elder dust]

I just read a physical book and holy guacamole, it's so much better than reading an e-book!

5 pages in and I'm already half-asleep, but I'm enjoying it!

[pine vortex]

"Th-ee" and "Th-uh" are spelled the same (The) and have the same meaning (an article pointing to the specific thing)

You pronounce "The" as "Th-uh" when the following word starts with a consonant (non-vowel letters)

For example: The (Th-uh) book, the tree, the place.

But if the following words starts with a vowel, you pronounce it as "Th-ee"

For example: The (Th-ee) apple, the octopus, the ocean

[open mural]

Ah! Thankyou. Makes a bit more sense now : )

[severe mason]

People call it watermelon sauce cause it's shorter but yeah there's other nicks names

[polar narwhal]

just sayin - I hate the word "acquaintance" - I can never remember how it's spelled correctly.

[ashen chasm]

Nah you good I could never spell it right either

So I just use good friend instead lol

[robust anvil]

how do you spell enuogh again I FORGOT HOW TO SPELL IT 😭

[pine vortex]

Enough 😭😭

[midnight ridge]

i no engilsh

🥶

[plucky roost]

English was my first language but one time in kindergarten I didn't know how to spell because so I asked the teacher and we always sang a song on how to spell because, and so they teacher said to the class "okay everyone, Ace here doesn't know how to spell because let's help them" and everyone had to sing the song for me it was so uncomfortable and embarrassing I hated it

[half bay]

ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST.

[gleaming ibex]

So anyone here Khmer

Because I need to learn that

[fringe plover]

I know 华文 and english

[fallow sorrel]

Does anyone need help learning?

[verbal patrol]

what

[fallow sorrel]

It's called “汉语”

[hexed skiff]

what is 汉语? Is that Japanese or Chinese or something?

[high quarry]

i think it is chinese, im not sure what it say though sorry 😭😭

[fallow sorrel]

i speak very good englas i pley cheratcte ai i lafe the moderetation here 😄

[fallow sorrel]

This no engkish spoce ?

[hexed skiff]

It's kay

[fallow sorrel]

"汉语" is the language of the Han ethnic group and one of the official languages of China. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world and also one of the working languages of the United Nations. "汉语" is primarily spoken in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and Chinese communities worldwide. It is a tonal language with a rich vocabulary and grammatical structure, encompassing two writing systems: Chinese characters and Pinyin romanization.

汉语 Chinese

[mortal spindle]

thats a whole lot of words just to say "yes, Chinese"

[robust mist]

Lol

[robust mist]

"Puh-tay-toe" "puh-tah-toe"

[elder yacht]

[robust mist]

Its either "other people" or "others" by itself

[elder yacht]

What about things? It's also other things too?

[wicked juniper]

Hey! Can you help me? I don't know if I made a mistake in English in a presentation :-:

[upper stirrup]

I’m French but I can try helping, I’ve been learning English since 5 years now

[fallow sorrel]

Native English speaker for 16+ years what's up?

[wicked juniper]

Aw thanks you two :-:
Okay I show you : "I will publish a picture every sunday 💙" is it in a good English for you? It's not picture like with a phone but more a picture generated with an AI so I don't know... Picture is a good term here?

[upper stirrup]

You could say “I’ll advertise a picture every Sundays” but I guess it’s the same thing

[fallow sorrel]

Depends on what you're generating with the ai (J'ai un traducteur si c'est plus facile pour toi de parler en français) you should say different things

"I'll (conjunction between I & Will) post a picture every Sunday."
Would also work fine

[wicked juniper]

Oooh

[upper stirrup]

Yeah

[wicked juniper]

So post is in a better English than publish?

[fallow sorrel]

Publish is more formal and usually used professionally

Post would be more casual and friendly

[wicked juniper]

Oh I didn't know that thanks!

[fallow sorrel]

They're synonymous (mean similar/same things) so it's interchangeable

It's mainly just based on tone - and no worries!

[wicked juniper]

I see 😁
So I can write "I'll post a picture every Sunday" right? If I understood ^^'

[fallow sorrel]

Yeah! That would be a more casual take on it, but TECHNICALLY both are grammatically correct

Hello..

What is the difference between using "but" and "however"?

[wicked juniper]

Thanks for your help 😁

[wicked juniper]

Thanks for your help too!

[wicked juniper]

Hello!
Oh... I don't know how to explain... Usually, I see "However" as the first word of a sentence and "but" in the middle of a sentence.

They are both word for a comparison

[fallow sorrel]

when to use "but" or "however" in the sentence?

[solemn wolf]

As somebody that spoke English my entire life, I have no idea

[fallow sorrel]

They're synonymous and it mostly just goes down to tone and feeling how it would sound in the sentence

"I like (A) , however, (B) is better."
"I like (A), but (B) is better."

[wicked juniper]

Sorry I didn't see your question 😭

[fallow sorrel]

More on this:

However is more formal tone and can be used for comparison between two subjects

But is casual and usually used to acknowledge one thing, but mention/acknowledged another as well

But can also be a conjunction between two sentences because it's a FANBOY

[solemn wolf]

Yes so pretty much, if you wanna write an essay it would better to use however instead of but because its more formal

[fallow sorrel]

Depending on the sentence you're using the word in yeah that would be right

Sometimes but is better though, it's all up to what you're writing :]

[fallow sorrel]

tyy!

[dark holly]

How would 'nor' be used in a sentence?

[foggy yoke]

"Nor" is a formal word for don't or not and can be a replacement for the word "neither."

"The food was neither hot or cold" ——> "The food was not hot, nor was it cold."

"I'm neither hungry or thirsty." ——> "I'm not hungry, nor am I thirsty."

[raven turtle]

Adding onto this^

It's mostly used to negate two phrases or nouns at once

[upper stirrup]

It’s a negation for example:

“Neither my friend nor I did these exercises.”

Nor is a conjunction which means it connects two phrases or words, another example:

“he neither worked nor did the dishes.”

“He likes playing rugby, nor does he scared of the ball.”

[hexed skiff]

Okay thanks for telling me

[maiden kraken]

How would "One piece chicken bickens gicklens hickens" used in a sentence?

[half bay]

What is that?

[robust mist]

Uhm...idk what language you're typing in but that aint no english

[lost condor]

this one piece chicken is hella bickens gicklens hickens good heavens

aka this chicken is fire

[robust mist]

That must be a bri'ish term, ive never heard an american say that

[vestal yoke]

what is “then” and “than”’s difference?

[dire mantle]

"than" is used for comparisons, like "I am taller than him"
"then" is used when referring to time, like "We'll wait until then"

[foggy yoke]

Usually show one action occurred after another. = "Then" is used to indicate time or sequence, as in "I went to the store, and then I came home."

While "Than" is used for comparisons = "Horror stories are more fun to write than boring grammar lessons." It pits one thing against another when making a comparison.

The easiest way to remember is that "then" is about time or order, while "than" is used for comparisons. A little mix-up between the two is an easy mistake to make, but I wouldn't worry too much about it. The difference and meaning usually comes across clear from context anyway.

[vestal yoke]

Thanks to both of you! ❤️

Hi

여러분, 안녕하세요! Is hello everyone. I’m from Korea and I’m learning English! I’m already very good, but a few words it’s hard to say/spell

[round gulch]

Good news, @alpine plover , those of us who have been speaking English our entire lives still struggle with spelling half the time 😉

[round gulch]

I had to google. According to grammarly its the longest words in the world and refers to a type of lung disease.

[pearl urchin]

Who knows the best offensive words (especially funny ones) to describe a man?

[fallow sorrel]

I relate to this

[pearl urchin]

O-O
Hm, quite creative, thx

I’m so glad I won’t have to use such long words ever in my entire life span

Powdered donut vibes😭😭😭😭🗣️

I feel attacked 😭❤️

[pearl urchin]

It depends on the mood >:]

[fallow sorrel]

Yes- OwO

[pearl urchin]

UwU

[fallow sorrel]

So you guys learn English daily?

[pearl urchin]

Yep, trying to improve it by chatting with other people (idk about the progress)
But now I know what are ttyl, tf, af and other stuff

Character ai helps a bit with learning, but only with vocabulary I think

[fallow sorrel]

Mean

[fallow sorrel]

Oh and it really is helping?

[pearl urchin]

Mhm, just a little bit, but still a practice

[fallow sorrel]

Do you use Duolingo as well

[pearl urchin]

Nope, it kinda sucks (my opinion)

[fallow sorrel]

Well I hope Character ai really is helping

[azure tree]

talking to people and finding the little mistakes in what you write by looking at people's English is gonna help you learn a lot. don't be afraid to ask for help either

English being a common language makes it easy enough to pick up naturally on the internet

[oblique wing]

Real🙏🏾‼️‼️

[round gulch]

@fallow sorrel @pearl urchin I would be careful relying too much on Character Ai as I have noticed it learns from your mistakes and takes them on as it’s own. This is handy when you want to teach it to behave a certain way, but could also be detrimental if you are hoping it teaches you.

[pearl urchin]

Yep, it gives NO real grammar, but new words and vocabulary max.

[fallow sorrel]

Oh I don’t use character so to improve my English I’m already kinda fluent I think

I like having fun with it I just came here to see others chat ^-^

[pearl urchin]

Mhm, same ig

[foggy yoke]

Yes, that's true. Bots usually copy your writing style after a lengthy chat. While C.AI can help people with new words, I wouldn't rely on it too much when it comes to spelling and grammar because of the way they tend to copy your writing style.

[round gulch]

On the other hand, I once got into a hilarious argument with a character with how to spell a word.

[fallow sorrel]

That’s cute

[fallow sorrel]

hello can i send something am doing in cai and see if its good english ?

[fallow sorrel]

It honestly doesn't matter
