Hi Cercodavid, Sometimes this happens, perhaps they had a emergency, however the only way to change or cancel lessons is to go through xplive support.(you will see a green icon button at he bottom of your lower right part of screen on your pc saying "need help?) Otherwise unless you have made another arrangement with the tutor to continue at another time through another format (skype, zoom, etc.) the best way is to reach out to xp customer support.

But is also used when you ask for extra money or time from someone. ex: Can you spare me a minute? "Can you spare a dollar or two?" It is also used as a way of asking for mercy if you're being attacked. "Please, spare me."

- Hello! Should I use article "the" in "Simple is the best"?
Should I use this phrase with the article or without it? "Simple is the best" or "Simple is best"?
Best answer
Yes, you should always use the article "the" when talking about the superlative form of any adjective, i.e. the best, the highest, the worst, the youngest, etc. However, you may hear some people leave out the article. Grammatically it would be incorrect, but it is becoming more common in actual usage.
Best answer
"It's an honor"/"It's my pleasure"... is the right way to use.

Hello! Don't know which option is a correct one. Should I use "in my thoughts" or "on my thought"? Or I can use both ones?
Best answer
In my thoughts or On my mind. I will keep you in my thoughts. You are on my mind.
- Is it correct to say "I wish you nothing but the best"?
I heard this phrase but I'm not sure if it's correct. Can I use it in the meaning of wishing someone all kind?
Best answer
Yes you can use it to show the listener that you have no bad wishes for them. I wish you nothing but the best. (I wish you only the best) In a different set up where maybe you are angry with a person and you want to hut their feelings you can say: I wish you anything but the best. (I wish whatever happens to you is not the best/ I wish bad things happen to you)
