So in simple terms, they mean the same thing, both describe an aircraft that has rotating wings and does not need a runway to take off. What you do need to know is that the word "Helicopter" is the more formally accepted word used in writing and speeches, while "Chopper" is the less formal word which is used more in media like movies and simple conversations.
- Do you think it is important for students to focus on correct pronunciation of words while learning?
correct and clear pronunciation of words in english language
Best answer
Hie there. So I'll start by saying proper pronunciation is the key to mastering the English language. However that being said, there isn't any pressure on you in terms of how fast you can learn how to say words. With first time English students I like to use what is called the slow but sure approach where we learn slowly and gradually but making you speak like a pro. Never feel shy to pronounce or say words, that is what this tutor community is all about, happy learning.

- Hi can someone one explain me the meaning of the idiom "pen and ink" please?
I recently came across the idiom in an exercise book but I'm not too sure what it exactly means and can't find a definitive answer either. these are the options: a) modern day technology b) extensively c) wastage d) in writing
Best answer
AliaFriendly, patient and kind certified ESL teacherHi Noor, In context with the options given, in this case "Pen and ink" would typically refer to something that is written (option d. In writing) or expressed in written form. It originates from the use of pens and ink as traditional writing tools before the rise of modern technology such as computers and printers. An example sentence using the idiom "pen and ink" would be "She recorded her thoughts and feelings about her trip in her journal, capturing the experience in pen and ink." Hope this helps!

Cut is a verb (action word) which means to use something sharp like a razor blade, knife or scissors to reduce something in size. So you can say for example "I need to cut these onions" meaning you want to reduce the size of the onions by cutting them. However cut may also mean other senses like for example when people cut in line it means someone has jumped the queue. There are several othet examples.
