- What preposition should I use with the verb "to be born"?
Can I say "I was born on..." or "I was born in..."? Which of the prepositions is correct?
Best answer
Hi Kimbley. You can use both prepositions for different uses. You would say "I was born on" with a date or the weekday, e.g. I was born on the 1st of June, I was born on a Saturday, etc. Whereas, you would say "I was born in" with a place, month, season, time of day (not the specific time, for this you would need to use "at") or year, e.g. I was born in England, I was born in June, I was born in the summer, I was born in the morning, I was born in 1990. It's not a simple answer, as different prepositions can be used with the same words but for different purposes. I recommend you have a lesson focussed on prepositions and their uses.
- Hello , is there any possibility to have more than 5 hours a week , could i pay for each hour?
Best answer
Hi Victorzzz. I asked the support desk for you, and they said that 5 lessons is the maximum you can buy with a subscription. However, if you would like more than this, you can upgrade your subscription and add extra credits. So, fortunately, it does seem possible! The 'need help?' function at the bottom of the screen is really useful for these types of questions. :)

For example, There're not new letters for you. or There aren't new letters for you. Which one is correct?

Hello solamio There aren’t is the contracted form of there are not, and both means the same. One might sound better in a sentence but that doesn’t make the other incorrect or different. It’s totally up to the speaker to chose and use which ever pleases him/her. Thanks

Hello ,and thank you for asking. " I'm sorry for bothering you " the apology took place after the action of 'bothering" has finished . Whereas ,"I'm sorry to bother you" , the action is going to happen and you are starting with the apology before the action of 'bothering ' takes place . Happy learning.

- Hello! What is the right option: by who or by whom?
When I want to say about the one who performed an action but in passive voice, should I use by who or whom?
Best answer
Hi Richardson, Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. When in doubt, try this simple trick: If you can replace the word with “he”’ or “’she,” use who. If you can replace it with “him” or “her,” use whom. Who should be used to refer to the subject of a sentence. Whom should be used to refer to the object of a verb or preposition. When to Use Who In a sentence, who is used as a subject. Let’s look at a couple of examples: Who would like to go on vacation? Who made these awesome quesadillas? When to Use Whom Whom is used as the object of a verb or preposition. Consider these examples: To whom was the letter addressed? Whom do you believe? For more insight,book a lesson with me and you won't regret because I will help you attain your goals.Thank you
