- How to learn New vocabularies
Hello dear Tutor can you suggest a way to learn new vocabularies ? Thanks
Best answer
Find a topic that you are already interested in, and start reading about it, watching it on TV, listening to podcasts about it. And then move on to the next topic that you are interested in. Every time you learn a new word, make 5 sentences with it, and make it personal. Include your life in the example sentences. This will make a connection with you and therefore more difficult to forget. For example: NEW WORD: JOB. Bad example sentence: Everyone needs a job. Good example sentence: I got my first job when I was 18 years old.
- How can we know if we have to put verbs in the infinitive, gerund or present participle tense?
Best answer
Hi Binta, Gerunds function as nouns: I like swimming / reading / cooking. Present participle is used in various verb tenses: I've been reading / cooking / waiting. Present participle can also be used as an adjective: I saw a sleeping cat / a reading guy / a laughing man. We can use verbs like, hate, love, prefer with both -ing and infinitives: We use -ing form to suggest enjoyment. We use to + infinitive to talk about habits. I like making jam. - I enjoy making it. I like to make jam every year. - it's a habit / preference. You can get more info about that in a textbook called "Essential Grammar in Use" by Raymond Murphy, units number: 51, 52, 53, and 54. Or you can also read an article on Cambridge dictionary website by searching: "hate, like, love and prefer". Have a wonderful day!

its without the apostrophe is a possessive pronoun, for example: My brother has just bought a car, but its engine is damaged. (its in the sentence can be replaced by "the car's" ("but the car's engine is damaged") It's with the apostrophe is a short word for "it is". For example: My brother just bought a new car, it's a Tesla Model Y. (it is a Tesla Model Y). Need more help?I am here!

JennyCertified ESL Teacher who helps her student in Conversational English.
Home is an abstract concept, whereas house is a concrete concept.

- What are the difficulties that an English native speaker may face when learning a new language?
Are you learning Italian? What are your difficulties and how do you think you can overcome them? In my opinion, the biggest stone are difficult sounds and lack of practice/vocab. What do you think?
- “Endurance is the ability to do something that’s hard.” My question is on details.🌷 Thank you.🌷
Why ‘that is’ used? Because, sentence already include a subject, ‘is’ which follows endurance. Is there an omitting after ‘something’ related to Adjective (Relative) Clause? Thank you🌷
Best answer
"that is " can be omitted as it refers to "something". so the sentence will be "Endurance is the ability to do something hard." and it's all because of indefinite pronoun like "something, somewhere, somebody ". for example, We're going to go somewhere nice this summer (we're going to go somewhere that is nice ) . let's do something cool ( let's do something that is cool)
Best answer
Themself is not really used, it would refer to the individual as herself or himself. Themselves is plural so therefore refers to him and her and them.
