  • Is the comparative for the word "safe" safer or more safe?
    Best answer

    Hi babayaga, The comparative form for “safe” is “safer”. But why? Because when your word has 1 or 2 syllables you should add “-er” at the end of it in order to form its comparative form. If you have further question or would like to book a lesson with me please do not hesitate to message me. :)

  • I can’t teaching without prescription
    Best answer

    Hello Jenabou, 'can' is a modal verb that is used when referring to possibility or ability. As any modal verb you can use it in negative form without any other auxiliary 'can't or cannot' but when they are followed by a verb, this one must be always in bare infinitive, so 'I can't TEACH' or 'I cannot TEACH'. Even if you could see and hear 'without prescription', since 'prescription' is a countable name your English will sound better if you say 'without a prescription". Regards,

    First, this is why you go to Native Speakers first. The term in question is not correct. The correct way of saying it is, "I am rooting for you." It is normally used in sports, meaning you are cheering for that person and/or team to win. An example, "I am rooting for the Lakers in the finals." It can also be used in support of another person who is going through a difficult time, facing a tough challenge in life or has medical issues. Example, "I am sorry to hear about your cancer, I am rooting for you." Like saying you wish them to get better and/or to do well. In short, it means you favor them to be successful.
