Welcome to LiveXP! My wish is that your teachers invest in you as a person in order to make your learning personalized rather than standardized for everyone. Have a good one. 👍

I am Irish and we always use this phrase! We would say "you scared the bejesus out of me" meaning you really scared me! Hope that helps.

Hello Priu! Cactus is singular. The plural is cacti or cactuses ( recently accepted in common speech). To sound more scientific, you'd better use cacti.

Adverse effect and adverse affect are two terms that are often used interchangeably, but they actually have different meanings. An adverse effect is a negative result that is caused by something, such as a drug or a medical treatment. An adverse affect, on the other hand, is a negative emotion that is caused by something, such as a stressful event. While both terms can refer to negative outcomes, it’s important to be aware of the distinction between them. Knowing which term to use will help you communicate more effectively and avoid confusion.

There are a few different ways to abbreviate the word supervisor. The most common way is to simply use the letters "sup." Another option is to use the initialism "SV." This is sometimes seen as "svr." Finally, you can use the acronym "SUP," which stands for "supervisor." Whichever abbreviation you choose, make sure that it is clear and concise. Your goal should be to communicate your meaning as quickly and efficiently as possible.

It's important to use the correct word when describing your day. "Rough" typically has a negative connotation, while "tough" is more neutral. If you had a tough day, it means you were challenged in some way and you rose to the occasion. Maybe you were juggling a lot of tasks or working on a difficult project. On the other hand, if you had a rough day, it means that things didn't go as smoothly as you would have liked. You may have made some mistakes or had some setbacks. But either way, you made it through the day and you're stronger for it. So next time someone asks how your day was, be sure to choose the right word.

Hi, this is a good way to politely ask for something that isn't too much trouble for the other person. E.g. Would you mind passing me that bottle over there? So yeah, we use the phrases would you mind+ing form, and do you mind +ing form to ask people politely to do things. E.g. Do you mind me turning on the light? (I want to turn on the light) Would you mind is more polite and more common:-) I hope this has been helpful. 👌
