- When I use "carry on" ??? I'd like to know the meaning of that frasal verb. Does it exist?
Best answer
Hello Authur1971, Its has different meanings and in the context of the sentence. Below are four ways of using the phrasal verb 'carry on' 1. If you carry on doing something, you continue to do it. example: The assistant carry on talking. 2.If you carry on an activity ,you do it or take a part in it fo a period of time. example: He carry on a passionate affair with Ms. Gilbert. 3. If you say that someone is carrying on, you are irritated with them because they are talking very excitedly and saying a lot of unnecessary things. example; She was yelling and screaming and carrying on. 4. If you say that someone is carrying on with someone else, you mean that they are having a sexual relationship and you do not approve of it, usually because on or both them are married. example; Their daughter was carrying on with a married man. Hope that helps you.

- which is the correct plural form human or humans?
i was thinking about how to say human in plural and i felt cofused. so, is the plural form humans or human? thnx in advance
Best answer
"human" most often exists in two forms: as an adjective (a describing word), or as a noun (a naming word). As an adjective, it describes anything belonging to our species, and anything that has the attributes of our species. When used in this way, it's ALWAYS singular. E.g. "It's human nature to make mistakes". "What kind of blood do vampires like? Human blood". As a noun, it's a name for the creatures belonging to our species. One of these is A Human, two or more are Humans. E.g. "humans are the only animals that blush"

Hi Hayk, the connection you build with your teacher is one of the most important aspects of the language learning process. No matter how experienced a language teacher is, you won't enjoy your lessons if you're not on the same page. And for that reason, don't be afraid to experiment until you find a teacher that works well for you. Book trial lessons with several teachers, and choose the one you feel most comfortable with. Hope this helps :-)
- Is "bleed" an irregular verb? What is its past tense form?
Hey! I don't know if the verb "bleed" has its past tense form or I should just add -ed to the end of the word. Could you advise?
Best answer
Yes, it's an irregular verb. The V2 and V3 forms of the word bleed are the same. * BASE FORM (V. 1) - BLEED * PAST SIMPLE FORM (V. 2) - BLED * PAST PARTICIPLE FORM (V. 3) - BLED Irregular verbs are one of the trickiest types of verbs to use because they don't follow the pattern. An English verb is irregular when it doesn't end in -D/-ED/-IED in the simple past tense and past participle form. You'll simply need to learn how to conjugate each irregular verb as you find them. I hope this explanation clarifies your concern, Dave :-)

Do some trial lessons and be patient until you find the right tutor/coach. Just like in life, there has to be chemistry and connection, otherwise it will never work. See who you resonate with from here and book a trial lesson :) Dale

Hi, Roman! Well, this depends, totally, on the context in which you wish to use the word. Yes, both words are pronounced the same, but the meanings are different. Girly is a characteristic of a typical, or should I say "stereotypical", girl. Usually a young girl. Example: She is so girly with her frills and ponytails. Girlie, on the other hand, is somewhat offensive. It refers to an attractive woman who is nude or wearing skimpy clothing. Good job on getting some clarification on this, It can be very tricky if you're not certain of which one is right. I do hope that this helps.

- "What's cooking, good looking?" is it idiom?
Hello! Idioms are such difficult for me. What does this phrase mean What's cooking, good looking? Is it an idiom?
Best answer
"What's cooking" is an informal slang phrase meaning "whats up?" or "what's going on?". "Good looking" is the speaker commenting on the other person's attractiveness, often in a flirtatious or playful manner . The phrase is very informal and should only be used with close friends or family members. Happy learning!
