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 :-)

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.

Hello! Idioms are such difficult for me. What does this phrase mean What's cooking, good looking? Is it an idiom?
