▫️Present Perfect ("has been to")
Form: Subject + has/have + past participle
Usage: This tense is often used to describe actions that happened at an unspecified time in the past but have relevance or an impact on the present.
Example: "She has been to Paris."
This sentence implies Yoko visited Paris in the past and came back. She has had the experience of going to Paris, but it doesn't mean she's currently there.
Form: Subject + has/have + gone to + place
Usage: When we say someone "has gone to" a place, it means they went there and are still there or have not yet returned.
Example: "She has gone to Paris."
This sentence implies Yoko left for Paris and hasn’t come back yet, meaning she's currently there.
In the context of the sentence:
"Yoko isn't here right now" implies that Yoko is currently away.
Since she’s still away, "has gone to Paris" is correct because it suggests she is in Paris at the moment and has not yet returned.
So, to convey that Yoko is currently in Paris, we say:
"Yoko isn't here right now. She has gone to Paris."

Youssra : Hey Emma, how's it going with all this homework? I'm totally swamped!
Emma: Tell me about it! I've been burning the midnight oil trying to get through it all.
Youssra : Same here. I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels with this math assignment.
Emma: I hear you. The English essay is really throwing me for a loop. I can't seem to get my head around the topic.

Emma: That's not a bad idea. Two heads are better than one, after all. But let's not bite off more than we can chew.
Youssra: True. We don't want to spread ourselves too thin. How about we start with math and then play it by ear?
Emma: Sounds good to me. I'm all ears for any suggestions you have on these algebra problems.
Youssra: Great! Let's hit the books and see if we can make some headway before dinner.
Emma: Alright, I'll be over in a jiffy. Time to face the music and get this homework done!

How well do you know English grammar? 🙂↔️🎀...
In
English, the standard word order for a basic sentence is:
Subject + Verb + Object + Adverbial
Let's break down the sentence "I know Vietnam very well":
1. Subject: I
2. Verb: know
3. Object: Vietnam
4. Adverbial: very well
This order is preferred because:
1. It's clearer and more natural to native English speakers.
2. It puts emphasis on the most important information first (the subject and what they know) before adding additional details (how well they know it).
3. For adverbs of manner (like "well") or adverbial phrases (like "very well"), the typical position is at the end of the clause.
There are exceptions to this rule, particularly for emphasis or in certain idiomatic expressions, but for most cases, including this one, the object-adverbial order is correct.

This is one of my favourite quotes. It does what a quote is meant to do: inspire you to pick up your broken pieces and start all over again, to keep believing even if all the odds are against you, and to persist until your dreams become your reality. I read it whenever I feel low and uninspired; I read it several times, absorbing every single word and letting it saturate my mind until every cell in my body is convinced that it is the only truth, the eternal truth.“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger – something better, pushing right back.” ! ...

Youssra: Hey Xenalia, do you have any weekend plans?
Xenalia: Hi Youssra! Well, I’m going to play it by ear. If the weather is good, I might go for a hike. What about you?
Youssra: That sounds nice! I might visit my cousin, but I’m on the fence. If she’s busy, I’ll probably just stay home and have a lazy day.
Xenalia: A lazy day sounds like a plan! Sometimes it’s good to just kick back and relax. I’ve been running around like a chicken with its head cut off all week, so I might do the same.
Youssra: I hear you! I’ve been burning the candle at both ends lately, so some downtime would be great. But I might also catch up with a few friends. They’re planning a small get-together, and I don’t want to miss the boat.
Xenalia: That’s true. It’s always good to stay in touch. I might also go to that new café downtown. I’ve heard it’s the bee’s knees!
Youssra: Oh, I’ve heard great things about that place too! Maybe I’ll tag along if I don’t visit my cousin. We could kill two birds with one stone—catch up and try out the café.
Xenalia: That sounds like a plan! Let’s keep it open-ended and decide last minute. We can see which way the wind blows.
Youssra: Agreed! Sometimes it’s best not to put all your eggs in one basket. We can go with the flow and see what happens.
