LouiseDFun and patient guide for your journey to fluency!What a good question! I'm not a student BUT over the years my students have pretty much all enjoyed role plays, especially when they are put in the position of helping me or giving me advice. "Let's pretend like I'm having trouble keeping my New Year's resolutions and I come to you for advice about making a plan. Can you help me figure out how to stop smoking, save more money and develop a good morning routine?"

The basics of the English language are vocabulary, collocations, phrasal verbs, idioms, and rules of English grammar. Collocations and phrasal verbs enable new learners to grasp meaning even without having to pay much attention to the syntax (sentence structure). Once phrasal verbs and idioms become familiar to learners whose main focus is on fluency in speaking, communication will be easier for them.

- What is the difference between "forever" and "for good"?
For example, in this sentence, "I have left Germany for good." Can I use "forever" here?
crwdns2631929:0crwdne2631929:0
Both have the connotation of meaning "eternal" in that there is no ending time to when someone says forever or for good. You might use for good when you stop an activity that you have no intention of starting again after a while. "Tom Brady has retired from (American) football, though there are still a few doubters out there that say that he hasn't retired for good." You use forever for an activity that you are already doing and you have NO intention of stopping ever. This is used in a more stative sense as if to say that this action will happen through the end of time. "I will love you forever and ever" would be a great example of this. To quote your example of "I have left Germany for good" that means that you will never return to that country. It would be a good idea to then say "I will live in [countryName] forever."
- What is the difference between “I lived in Paris for 3 yrs” and “I have lived in Paris for 3 yrs” :)

I lived in Paris already happened in the past while I have lived in Paris means you are still in that place.
