The definition of Godspeed is an expression of good wishes to a person starting a journey. There is no religious connotations associated with this term. It simply conveys a salutation wishing the other person luck and success in accomplishing a specific goal. The word Godspeed should be used in sentences when you are bidding someone good luck, safety, and success.
- How to use a possessive case with plurals? Can I write "parents's house" or "parent's house"?
What is the correct variant? Parents' house, parent's house or parents's house? I don't understand where to put this apostrophe in case with plarulity.

Hi RichardSON, - With single nouns, the apostrophe is placed between the end of the word and an extra 's': e.g. Where is the dog's toy? - With plural nouns, the apostrophe comes after the 's' that is already at the end of the word: e.g. Where are the dogs' toys?

Hello Milania, You can use both of them. The two of them are correct and you can choose another one meaning the same 'girlish'. It is an adjective and it is used to refer to things related to girls. In some contexts it is used referring to nude women. On the other hand, you can see it just by referring to feminine clothes. See the following examples: A girlie magazine = a magazine with erotic pictures of girls. She looks girlie in that dress = she looks feminine. I hope you find it useful. Don't hesitate to text me if you need more help. Kind regards,
- What preposition should I use with the verb "to be born"?
Can I say "I was born on..." or "I was born in..."? Which of the prepositions is correct?
Best answer
Hi Kimbley. You can use both prepositions for different uses. You would say "I was born on" with a date or the weekday, e.g. I was born on the 1st of June, I was born on a Saturday, etc. Whereas, you would say "I was born in" with a place, month, season, time of day (not the specific time, for this you would need to use "at") or year, e.g. I was born in England, I was born in June, I was born in the summer, I was born in the morning, I was born in 1990. It's not a simple answer, as different prepositions can be used with the same words but for different purposes. I recommend you have a lesson focussed on prepositions and their uses.
- Hello , is there any possibility to have more than 5 hours a week , could i pay for each hour?
Best answer
Hi Victorzzz. I asked the support desk for you, and they said that 5 lessons is the maximum you can buy with a subscription. However, if you would like more than this, you can upgrade your subscription and add extra credits. So, fortunately, it does seem possible! The 'need help?' function at the bottom of the screen is really useful for these types of questions. :)
