Sure, it reminded me of nice series "Young Sheldon" about young genius boy, he choses words carefully and sounds very smart and educated you can also use "just a second", or "in a bit" - I need just a second - I will be there in a bit

The main rule is to use logic to make sentences that make sense :D (if you are a beginner when you are talking in the past use only tenses in past for start, present for present, and future for future) Then take time and look at types of tenses ( Past, Present, Future, Simple/Indefinite, Continuous, Perfect, Perfect continuous) 12 in total, and that is it it will take some time but there is no cheating in learning. Good luck :D
- You made my day and you have made my day - what's the difference?
Do i need to use present perfect in this phrase “You have made my day”? Or it is used in past simple “You made my day”? Which of them is correct?
Best answer
If you used present perfect tense instead of past simple, it means that somebody did something excellent for you and it is connected to your present. If it is not connected to your present anymore, than you should use past simple. So, it depends on the context.

- how correct nosy or nosey?
i dont understand two words nosy and nosey. how to say correct?
Best answer
Nosy” is the most common form in both American English or British English, but “nosey” is still correct, though less common. When a word ends on a silent “e,” we generally drop the “e” before adding a suffix that starts with a vowel, but we keep it when adding one with a consonant.
