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.

Yes !🎖📚 The abbreviation for the word "year" is yr. (Remember to include the dot). You can use the abbreviation yr. for both year and years (plural). And you can also use it to mention the amount of years for example : - 2 yr. - 1 yr.

"What's cooking" is an informal slang phrase meaning "whats up?" or "what's going on?". "Good looking" is the speaker commenting on the other person's attractiveness, often in a flirtatious or playful manner . The phrase is very informal and should only be used with close friends or family members. Happy learning!

Then indicates time. Than is used to introduce a second element in a comparison. E.g. I will eat breakfast THEN I will brush my teeth. The dog is friendlier THAN the cat.

Hey, GLOW is a regular verb. * Base Form (V. 1) - GLOW * Past Simple Form (V. 2) - GLOWED * Past Participle Form (V. 3) - GLOWED We simply add 'ED' - 'D' if the verb already ends in an 'E' to turn the verb from its base form to the past simple or past participle form. If the verb ends in 'Y' we change the last letter to an 'I' and then add the 'ED' (E.g. Marry - Married). I hope this explanation clarifies your concern, Hummed. 👌

Hi Prokop, The best more clarified way is to use hyphen, however both ways would be correct in a sentence. Hope this helps you in your learning journey:)
