Yes it does a a different meaning in slang. It means someone with an overly inflated ego. They try to act cooler than they are. Synonyms for tool: douchebag, faker and a**hole

Hey, GLOW is a regular verb. * Base Form (V. 1) - GLOW * Past Simple Form (V. 2) - GLOWED * Past Participle Form (V. 3) - GLOWED We simply add 'ED' - 'D' if the verb already ends in an 'E' to turn the verb from its base form to the past simple or past participle form. If the verb ends in 'Y' we change the last letter to an 'I' and then add the 'ED' (E.g. Marry - Married). I hope this explanation clarifies your concern, Hummed. 👌

Hi Prokop, The best more clarified way is to use hyphen, however both ways would be correct in a sentence. Hope this helps you in your learning journey:)

Attorneys. Change the 'y' to 'i' if a noun ends in 'y'. But this rule doesn't apply here. The reason is the letter preceding the final consonant is a vowel. So this rule apples only when another consonant precedes the final consonant. For example; Buddy ==> buddies

Hello! "How have you been?" is a greeting, similar to "How are you?" but instead of only asking how you are at present, it is used with people you have already met, people that you know, to ask how you have been doing since the last time they saw you. You could say "I've been well, thanks." and then share something you have done, somewhere you have been, something new you can share with the person. For example, I've been well, thanks. I started a new job. / I visited my family in Toronto. / I've been busy but I will have some time off next month. I hope this helps ( :

Hi Kimbley IT SUCKS means this/that thing or situation is really bad/disappointing or frustrating. It is fine to use it in general conversation, but not the best in formal settings such as with your boss, in an email or at a formal occasion. If sometning is REALLY bad feel free to say "Big time sucky, sucky" - others will have no doubt how you feel.

the preposition "at" comes after the word "proficient". You are "proficient at" something not "with or in" as these two prepositions usually indicate an active noun after it, like place, time, someone.
