#Common_Mistakes




INCORRECT: I bought several stuffs at the store.

CORRECT: I bought several things at the store.

CORRECT: I bought some stuff at the store.

The word “stuff” is considered an “uncountable” noun in English – it is always singular, even when it refers to multiple things. The word “things” is a “countable” noun – it can be singular or plural.

With countable nouns like things, we can use the words many, a few, and several.

With uncountable nouns like stuff, we need to use different words: much, a little, and some. (“Some” can be used with countable nouns, too – some books, some tools, etc.)








INCORRECT: There’s a cabinet below of the sink.

CORRECT: There’s a cabinet below the sink.

You don’t need “of” with most prepositions of place/location, such as behind, near, under, over, between, etc.

My house is near a school.
There’s a bridge over the river.


The exceptions are in front of, on top of, and to the right/left of.

The pot is on top of the stove.
The sink is to the right of the toilet.

🌹I’m for it. / I’m against it.



"Against" can mean "opposed to": I think they might be against the plan.


What does it mean?

“For” means you support something.

“Against” means you oppose it.




Examples:



“Two million people against the war were out on the streets today in the country’s largest mass protest.”



“So, here’s a difficult question. Are you for or against the plan to allow cars into the high street?”



“I’m against it. Dead against it.”
“Well — I’m all for it.”
“Don’t you work for the oil and gas industry?”
“Erm … bye.”



🌹Notice that we can say “dead against” if we’re strongly opposed.

Also notice that we can say “all for” if we strongly support it.

Bad:I WANT YOU TO SEND ME THE FILES RIGHT NOW.




🌹In professional communications – or when writing to somebody who isn’t a close friend – it’s important to be polite and respectful. Sometimes English learners accidentally write sentences that are “too direct” and can come across as a little bit rude. When making a request, it is good to use “Could you…?” and “Please…”



🌹Could you please send me the files as soon as possible?

🌹You’re using “date,” “location” and “amount” when there’s a more natural solution





🌹Don’t say…

“I still don’t know the date of the party.”


“Can you tell me the camel’s location?”


“We’ll never know the amount of carrots he ate. But he’s looking very orange right now.”



🌹Say…

“I still don’t know when the party is.”


“Can you tell me where the camel is?”


“We’ll never know how many carrots he ate. But he’s looking very orange right now.”



🌹Why?

As you can see, we prefer to use “when,” “where” and “why” as connecting words to make two sentences one sentence:

I still don’t know. + When is the party? = I still don’t know when the party is.


Can you tell me? + Where is the camel? = Can you tell me where the camel is?


We’ll never know. + How many strawberries did he eat? = We’ll never know how many strawberries he ate.



🌹These are called embedded questions.


🌹Why? Well, they just “flow” better.

🌹In today's post, we'll show you how to learn English easily.



We’ve all had that feeling when time and the world around us stop because we’re completely focused on what we’re doing.

Maybe it’s reading an excellent book or writing a long email to an old friend.

This feeling is called 'flow'.

It can make you learn English faster and it can also make you happier.




🌹Here’s what you need to achieve flow and learn English easily:

1. Balance your skill with the challenge scales

This is simple. Make sure what you’re studying or reading or writing or listening to isn’t too challenging or too easy.

If you’re stressed or if you’re bored, then flow doesn’t happen.

Get the right balance. It’s much more productive.

2. Have clear goals target

If you have a clear idea of what you want from each study session, you can concentrate better on what you’re learning.

Make simple, regular goals with your English learning.

This way, flow is easier.

3. Get clear feedback to learn English easily
teacher and student talking
When you know how well you're learning, this automatically gives you motivation.

It’s also the same when you know where you’re making mistakes.

When you get feedback from a teacher (or even just a friend with excellent English) your learning becomes faster and you can reach flow much more often and easily.

4. Your motivation must come from inside
It’s good to be motivated to learn English for external reasons, like work or communicating with people.





🌹But remember yourself.

If you aim to enjoy yourself while learning, you will.

And if you enjoy yourself, you will enter flow and learn English easily.

🌹How to say football scores in English?



🌹“What’s the score?”



You might hear this a lot in the next couple of months as everyone goes football mad over the World Cup.

Or at least until their team gets knocked out.

But how do you answer the question “What’s the score?”

It seems easy, doesn’t it?

But there are very specific ways to talk about football scores in English. Here they are:





How to Say Football Scores in English:

A Draw

 


OK. So no one won the match. How annoying!

We can describe this result generally:

It was a draw.

We can also be a little more specific and mention the teams:

Scotland drew with England.

Or we can say it with numbers. There’s a rule for describing draws: we just say the number and add “all.”

one all

two all

three all

… or eighteen all — if you’re watching a children’s match.




How to Say Football Scores in English:

No Goals

 


But be careful. For some secret reason known only to the football masters, we don’t say “zero all.”

For a start, when talking about football scores, we don’t say “zero,” but we say “nil” instead.

Secondly, we don’t do the “all” trick, but just say it how it’s written:

nil nil




How to Say Football Scores in English:

One Team Wins

 

Say the larger number first — and remember to say “nil” instead of “zero.”

If you want to say who won the match, you can add “to” and the name of the winning team:

two nil to Scotland

You can also use the verbs “beat” or “defeat”:

Scotland beat England two nil.

Scotland defeated England two nil.

Or you can forget about the score and just say who won.

You can use a verb:

Scotland won.

Or a noun:

a win for Scotland

If you’re feeling more like focusing on the embarrassment for England, which you might, then you can focus on the fact that they lost, again with a verb:

England lost.

Or a noun:

a defeat for England





How to Say Football Scores in English:

One Team Wins (By a Lot)

 


In the unlikely event of this score, there’s another verb we can use to show the huge difference between the number of goals.

It really shows how amazingly Scotland won and how badly and embarrassingly England lost.

That verb is “thrash.” Yep — like thrash metal. But with football.

We tend not to add the score with this one, just focusing on how dramatic the result is:

Scotland thrashed England!

You can also speak more generally about the results, especially dramatic ones like these, with words like “victory”:

a victory for Scotland

Or “triumph”:

a triumph for Scotland

The word “resounding” is also used with extreme results. You can use it for the winners:

a resounding victory for Scotland

For losers, we can use the phrase “crushing defeat”:

a crushing defeat for England




OK. Now you know how to say football scores in English.


As the World Cup enters its first stages, listen out for that question: “What was the score?”

You’ll know how to answer.

🌹Different ways to say “I like”
Sometimes we need to talk about how we like something, but we don’t just want to keep saying “I like it,” “I like it,” “I like it.”



And what about when there’s something you really like? It gets a bit boring to say “I really, really like it” all the time.



🌹I’m really into …

This is a little informal. It also shows dedication.

So you can say:

“I’m really into 1970s Japanese underground noise music.”

… because that takes a lot of dedication.

✍But it’s a little strange to say something like “I’m really into this vegetable curry. It’s delicious.”


🌹You can also be into an action:

“He’s weird. Recently he’s been into hiding behind doors and jumping out at people to surprise them.”

We're really into Star Wars.



🌹I’m a big fan of …

Like “I’m into,” use this one to talk about something you’ve liked for a period of time. It can range from something big, like Star Wars, to something more everyday, like using a shaving brush to clean your laptop.


🌹You can be a big fan of a person or thing:

“I’m a big fan of David Crystal.”

Or an action:

“Toby? Yeah … he’s OK. He’s a big fan of skateboarding. Is that a good thing?”


🌹I’m fond of …

This means “I like” but with a little extra emotion.

Does something have a special place in your heart? Then this is the phrase to use!


🌹We’re often fond of people:

“Cool! Toby’s coming! I’m quite fond of him!”


🌹But we can be fond of things, too:

“I didn’t like it at first, but I’m fond of hot yoga now.”


🌹And we can be fond of actions:

“He’s quite fond of waking up early and meditating for an hour.”


✍Notice that we often use “quite” with this phrase — at least I do.


🌹I’m big on …

Similar to “I’m into” and “I’m a fan of”: use it for something you’ve got experience with.


🌹You can be big on a thing:

“Japanese underground noise music? Oh yeah — I’m big on that.”


🌹Or an action:

“As a company, they’re really big on putting small family shops out of business.”

🌹Use “reply” correctly


What you might be saying:

❌I emailed him asking when the internet would be working again, but he never replied me.


What you should say:


✍There are two ways we can fix this.



✍In the example sentence above (the one about the emails), we just don’t need an object:



✍What’s an object? Here’s a 1-minute grammar lesson:

Most full English sentences have at least three parts — a subject, verb and an object (SVO).

Harry (subject) met (verb) Sally (object).

This is very, very simple, but also — especially for English — very important.

Most English sentences follow this SVO structure.


✅I emailed him, but he never replied.



✍But sometimes, we use “reply” to describe exactly what he said.

So we use our good old friend, “that.”

reply + that + SVO

Then he came to my office, and I asked him again. He replied that he couldn’t respond to my email because the internet wasn’t working.


✅He replied that he couldn't respond to my email.

🌹TAKE PICTURES / PHOTOS OF



✍This is very common. It means use your camera! I’m sure you already know this, so let’s look briefly at another common use of this phrase:



✍you take a picture/photo = you are using the camera



✍have your picture/photo taken = someone else is taking a picture of you



🌹Examples

Peter and Christina are having their photo taken.


Helena is taking a photo.

🌹Hafiz

🌹حافظ

🌹Ghazal 456



🌹In the spring, open your heart to joyous infusions
Like flowers open up, or stay in muddy collusions.
I cannot tell you to befriend this, or drink that
Wit and wisdom display your own solutions.
Strings of the harp sing out the same advice
When worthy, you will reach your conclusions.
Each blade of grass speaks of its life's tale
Alas if self-absorbed you're free from inclusions.
Worry not, else you will lose your precious now
If stuck in day's and night's revolutions.
Though fears are strewn upon the path of Love
Pass easy if free from destination's confusions.
O Hafiz, if fortune upon you smiles
Become prey to that Witness of illusions.



🌹نوبهار است در آن کوش که خوشدل باشی
کـه بسی گل بدمد باز و تو در گل باشی
من نگویم که کنون با که نشین و چه بنوش
کـه تو خود دانی اگر زیرک و عاقل باشی
چنـگ در پرده همین می‌دهدت پند ولی
وعظـت آن گاه کند سود که قابل باشی
در چمن هر ورقی دفتر حالی دگر اسـت
حیف باشد که ز کار همـه غافـل باشی
نـقد عـمرت بـبرد غصه دنیا به گزاف
گر شب و روز در این قصه مشکـل باشی
گر چه راهیست پر از بیم ز ما تا بر دوست
رفـتـن آسان بود ار واقف مـنزل باشی
حافـظا گر مدد از بخت بـلـندت باشد
صید آن شاهد مطـبوع شـمایل باشی

🌹bring OR take?

The verbs bring and take have many different meanings, especially as phrasal verbs.



But both bring and take have one meaning that is very similar, and involves carrying or moving something from one place to another place. This causes confusion for learners because the only real difference between them is the direction of travel, in relation to the speaker.




bring and take


✍bring: carry something towards the speaker



✍take: carry something away from the speaker OR to another place



✍So, the real difference between bring and take is:

bring is for movement towards the speaker

take is for movement in any other direction


verb

direct object

indirect object


bring something
someone

to the speaker




take something
someone

to anywhere but not the speaker




🌹Look at this sample situation.

The boss says to her secretary:

Mary, please take this letter to the bank. They will give you some money. Take the money to the travel agent. They will give you some tickets. Then bring the tickets to me.





✍Note that the difference between bring and take is like the difference between come and go. (Go to the bank, then go to the travel agent, then come to me.)



🌹Look at these example sentences with bring:

Waiter! Could you bring me some water please.

I'm so glad you could come.

Have you brought your sister?

Do you mind bringing another chair from the room next door?

Come over here and bring your drink with you.

How embarrassing! I can't pay the bill because I didn't bring my wallet.

Class is over! Don't forget to bring your homework tomorrow.

Some scientists believe that comets brought water to Earth.



🌹Look at these example sentences with take:

When you go shopping you'd better not take your car. The traffic's awful.

Taxi! Can you take me to the airport?

Could you go into town and take this letter to the bank.

Why hasn't anybody taken this rubbish out?

Yesterday, Lucy took her car to the garage for a service.

She's not here. She's taking her son to the doctor.

They asked the police: "Where are you taking him?"

It was the Apollo 11 spacecraft that took the first humans to the Moon.



✍The normal rule is bring here and take there, from the speaker's point-of-view, and this is the important thing to understand. However, we do sometimes use them the other way round, usually when the speaker is looking at the situation from the listener's point-of-view. This typically happens in phone calls and emails, when the two people are in direct communication but different locations. Look at these emails:


I'm leaving Bangkok tonight. My flight lands in London at 6 tomorrow. Do you want me to bring some T-shirts?

Hi Fred. Awfully sorry, I took the office keys home with me by mistake. I'll bring them in tomorrow.

🌹TAKE A HOLIDAY / VACATION / A SABBATICAL / TIME OFF





🌹When we talk about free time and not working, we use “take.” Remember, free time is something we need to take, because no one will just give it to us!

I’m going to take two months off this summer to go skydiving in Peru.

You really look like you should take a holiday.

🌹How to ask for the time in English



OK. So you probably usually ask the time with either (or both) of these classic phrases:

“What time is it?”
“What’s the time?”


Which is fine. This is how a lot of people ask the time.




But don’t be surprised if you hear something like this when someone asks for the time:


“You got the time, mate?”

“Have you got the time on you?”

“Excuse me, can I get the time?”



Or, if you’re with a group of people, you might ask:

“What time have we got?”

#English_Points



🌹When To Use “Depend” Vs. “Depending”



🌹We use depend and depending when one thing is strongly affected by another thing.


🌹For example, if there is a lot of rain, the flowers in your garden will grow. If there is no rain, the flowers will not grow. This means the growth of the flowers depends on the rain – one thing (the flowers’ growth) is affected by another thing (the rain).

However, a lot of students are confused about when to use depend vs. depending. The answer involves the grammar of each sentence.



🌹Use depend/depends when it is the main verb in the sentence:

“Will you go to the beach this weekend?”
“I’m not sure. It depends on the weather.”
(subject = it; main verb = depends)
The results of the survey depend on the types of questions asked.
(subject = the results of the survey; main verb = depend)
When depend is the main verb, it is considered a “state verb” (not an action verb) and is never used in continuous form. NEVER say “It’s depending on…”



🌹Use depending when the word begins a dependent clause. This means that the sentence already has a separate subject and main verb, and the dependent clause only adds some extra information:

We’re thinking about going to the beach, depending on the weather.
(subject = we; main verb = are thinking)
Depending on the types of questions asked, the survey produces different results.
(subject = the survey; main verb = produces)
Important note: we always say depend/depending ON, never “of” or “in.”



🌹There’s another way to use depend/depending, meaning when one person is relying on another – they trust the other person and/or need the other person to do something. With this definition, we can use depend for relying on someone in general, and depending for relying on someone right now in a specific situation:

I don’t have a car, so I depend on my colleagues to give me rides to work every day.
(in general)
I’m depending on you to get this project done by Friday.
(right now in a specific situation)

#Confusing_Words



🌹“Fix,” “repair” and “mend” have very similar meanings, but there is a difference in how we use them and what we use them for.


🌹The main difference

Take a look at this machine. What needs to be fixed? What needs to be repaired? What needs to be mended?


We fix the whole thing/situation.

We repair a part of the thing.

We mend something less complicated.



  So the machine needs to be fixed.

The broken part needs to be repaired.

The flag needs to be mended.



🌹The details


1. Fix

We usually use “fix” to focus on the general problem. It means we want something to go back to how it was before.

Do you know anyone who can fix my phone?

We also use it to talk about relationships between people.

He said he’s really angry with me. I need to fix this.



2. Repair

When a machine or technological device doesn’t work, it’s usually because one part of it is broken. This is when we use “repair”:

If you want to fix your bike, you’ll have to repair the wheel.



3. Mend

Remember that this one is a little old-fashioned and we don’t use it so much anymore. We usually use “mend” when we want to describe something easier and quicker to fix. 

We don’t need a professional to mend something.

She asked him to mend her doll for her.

I was always good at mending clothes when I was a kid.

We can also use it to describe relationships, but only in very formal (often political) situations, with the phrase “mend relations with”:


After 10 years of war, the president made a move to mend relations withthe neighbouring country.

🌹Different ways to say “I don’t like”

There are a lot more ways to talk about negative things than positive things.

This makes sense, right?

I mean, it’s fine to be direct if you’re being positive, but you might want to be more indirect (and more polite) when you’re talking about negative things — like when you don’t like something.


🌹I’m not fond of …

No special place in your heart for this!

Like with “I’m fond of,” we can use this for people, things or actions.

“Don’t invite Clancy. Jasmine’s not very fond of him.”


🌹I’m not a big fan of …

This sounds quite soft, right? I mean, there are lots of things we’re not big fans of. In fact — almost everything.

However, when people use this phrase, what they often mean is “I hate this. Please don’t make me do this.”

“I’m not a big fan of Star Trek.”

“I’m not such a big fan of playing Tetris.”


🌹I’m not really into …

This is the same as “I’m not a big fan of.” Use it to reject something politely.

“Let’s go somewhere else. Most of the kids aren’t really into this.”
“Into what?”
“Into bowling.”


🌹I’m not big on …

Again — you can use this phrase to soften your rejection of something.

“Sorry — I’m not really big on insect museums. Can we do something else?”


🌹I’m not crazy about …

You’re not crazy about it? Great! Then let’s stop!

“Sorry. I’m not crazy about this idea. What about chess instead?”

“Then she told me that she wasn’t crazy about hippo wrestling! I mean — what’s wrong with hippo wrestling?”


🌹It’s not for me.
I like this one.

If you want to tell your excitable cousin that the swimming-with-sharks holiday in Florida is a terrible idea, you can say this.

It puts the focus on you, not on the terrible idea, so she won’t be offended.

Although that might not matter too much if she really does decide to take that holiday. She’ll have other things to worry about.

“Sorry. I’m going to pass on your offer — mountain trekking holidays are just not for me.”


🌹I’m not much of a … person.
This is the same as “It’s not for me.”

We often use it with the word “people” to describe shy people:

“Yeah — you won’t see him out much. He’s not much of a people person.“

But we can use it with almost any kind of activity:

“Me? No, I’m not really much of a cinema person.”

“Mike won’t want to come. He’s not much of a camping person — not since what happened at Beanfield.”


🌹It’s not my thing.
This is like “It’s not for me.”

You can also make it even softer by saying “It’s not really my thing.”

It can be used with “it” if the context is clear:

“Wanna come to the reggae gig?”
“Nah — it’s not really my thing.”

Or just change the subject if the context isn’t that clear:

“These ideas are all great. But doing anything outside isn’t my thing.”

Swimming with sharks isn't really my thing.


🌹I can’t stand …

But sometimes you just want to be direct, right?

So use this one!

It basically means “I hate it!”

You can use it with things:

“I can’t stand his laugh.”

Or actions:

“Ha ha! Yeah, I’m not surprised she said that! She can’t stand dancing with people!”

🌺Common English Mistakes With Direct And Indirect Objects



☘DIRECT OBJECTS

Can you find the mistakes in these sentences? They are all incorrect. They don’t sound natural.

“I bought yesterday a new t-shirt.”

“Please finish quickly the report.”

“I’ll put on the table the dishes.”



✍What’s wrong with these sentences?

Well, each sentence has a verb – bought, finish, and put – and each sentence also has a direct object. A direct object is the object that is acted upon by the verb.

So, the direct object in the first sentence is, “a new t-shirt.” In the second sentence, the direct object is, “the report.” And in the third sentence, the direct object is, “the dishes.”

It doesn’t sound natural when we have a word in the middle between the verb and its direct object. That’s why these sentences sound strange.



✍Here’s the correct way to say them:

“I bought a new t-shirt yesterday.”

“Please finish the report quickly.”

“I’ll put the dishes on the table.”


✍So, whenever we have a verb with a direct object, keep the verb and direct object together, and don’t put any words in the middle.



☘INDIRECT OBJECTS

Now, there’s one exception and that is indirect objects. An indirect object is the person who receives the action, or receives the direct object:

“I gave John the books.”
gave = verb; John = indirect object; the books = direct object
“Please send me the report.”
send = verb; me = indirect object; the report = direct object
“I’ll lend you my car.”
lend = verb; you = indirect object; my car = direct object
It’s okay to have an indirect object in the middle between the verb and the direct object.


Here’s one more mistake. Sometimes students say,

“I gave to John the books.”

“Please send to me the report.”

“I’ll lend to you my car.”

These sentences are also incorrect. If you want to use the word “to,” then you should put the indirect object at the end of the sentence:

“I gave the books to John.”

“Please send the report to me.”

“I’ll lend my car to you.”

These sentences are the same as when we have the indirect object in the middle:

“I gave the books to John“
= “I gave John the books.”
Both versions are correct.



✍REVIEW

When a verb has a direct object, keep the direct object immediately after the verb:

“Please finish the report quickly.”


It is possible for an indirect object to come in the middle:

“Please send me the report.”


✍The indirect object can also be at the end with “to.”

“Please send the report to me.”


But you can’t put it in the middle with “to.” Don’t say, “Please send to me the report.” That’s not correct.

We often put the indirect object at the end of the sentence with “to” if the indirect object is a long phrase.

“Please send the report to the managing editor of the newspaper.“

“The managing editor of the newspaper,” is quite a long phrase, so it’s best to put it at the end of the sentence after “to,” and not in the middle between the verb and the direct object.

🌹English Phrases For New Year’s Resolutions




I’M GOING TO…
I’M NOT GOING TO…


✍Use these phrases to talk about plans and intentions for the future.

I’m going to spend more time with my family.
I’m not going to work so much.


✍In spoken English, “going to” is pronounced gonna – but do not write gonna in written English. You can write it in very informal e-mails and chats with friends, but not in a professional or academic situation.



I’M PLANNING TO…

✍Use this phrase for things that you are almost definitely going to do – often things that you have already scheduled or made some preparations for.

I’m planning to visit Disneyland in July.
I’m planning to take dance classes. I already signed up.



I HOPE TO…
I’D LIKE TO…

✍Use these phrases for things that you want to do (but it’s not yet definite).

I hope to read more books this year.
I’d like to be more organized.



I MIGHT…
I MAY…
I’M THINKING OF/ABOUT…

✍Might and may are like MAYBE. Use these phrases for things you are considering, but you’re not sure if you will do it or not.

I might take some piano lessons, if I have enough free time.
I may look for a new job. My current job is too stressful.
I’m thinking about moving to a different city – but I’m not sure where.



✍After thinking of / about, use the -ING form of the verb.



Common English error:


✍Don’t use TO with might, may, or thinking!

I’m thinking to buy a new car.
I’m thinking of buying a new car.



🌹Phrases In English Conversation


“Have you got any resolutions for the new year?”

“I’m going to start exercising more, for one thing. I hope to lose 10 pounds by April.”

“Why April?”

“My sister is getting married, so I’d like to look good in the wedding pictures!”

‘That’s a good motivator!”

“So how about you? What are you going to change this year?”

“I’m going to cut down on my spending – I’m not going to eat out, I’d like to start cooking at home instead.”

“How come? Are you saving up for something?”

“Yeah, I’m planning to buy a house by the end of the year.”

“Ah, that’s fantastic. Whereabouts?”

“Probably in the same neighborhood where I live now – but I might look at some other areas if I can find a good price.”

“Great, well, good luck with your goals!”

“Thanks, you too.”



✍CONVERSATION NOTES:

“Have you got…” is the same as “Do you have…” in this context


When you want to do or complete something before a date in the future, use the preposition by: “I hope to lose 10 pounds by April.” Don’t say “until April.”




The phrasal verb eat out means to eat outside your home – at a restaurant or cafe.


How come? is an informal way to ask Why?


The phrasal verb save up for means to save money for a specific purpose.


Whereabouts? is an informal way to ask Where?

🌹10 Informal English Expressions In Conversation


🌹Everyday English Speaking Course




“Sorry I’m Late, Guys, I Overslept.”

“No Worries. Let Me Bring You Up To Speed.”



You can say “I overslept” when you accidentally sleep later than you had intended to (for example, if you didn’t hear your alarm clock). There’s a different expression – sleep in – when you intentionally sleep later than usual (for example, on weekends or on holidays when you don’t need to go to work/school).

The expression “No worries” means “No problem,” or “It’s OK.”

To bring someone up to speed means to give that person updates, tell them the information that they are missing so that they can have a current understanding of the situation. Another way to say this is “Let me fill you in.”




“What Are You Up To Next Week?”
“We Might Go To The Beach… But Our Plans Aren’t Set In Stone.”


“What are you up to?” is an informal way to say “What are you doing?” This can be used to ask about what someone is currently doing in the present, or what they will be doing in the future (as in this example). You can also say “What have you been up to lately?” to ask about what the person has been doing in the recent past.

If something is not set in stone, it means it is not confirmed/final, and could be open to change.





“I Didn’t Read The Book, I Just Skimmed It.”
“OK, But You Got The Gist, Right?”


To skim a book or article means to look over it quickly. When you skim, you don’t read every word carefully, you just try to get an overall idea.

To get the gist of something means to understand the central/essential idea, even if you don’t know all the details.





“That Presentation Was Way Over My Head.”
“Yeah, I Found It Kind Of Hard To Follow.”


If something is over your head, it means it was too difficult for you to understand. The word way can be used informally to mean “very” or “much” – if something is “way too expensive” it means it is MUCH too expensive, not just a little bit too expensive.

The expression I found it in this context means “I thought it was” or “My opinion is that it was.” Hard to follow means it was difficult to accompany the flow of ideas; the person is implying that the presentation was rather disorganized and unclear.




“The Third Time He Screwed Up, I Almost Lost It.”
“You’ve Gotta Cut Him Some Slack; He’s Still New.”


The phrasal verb screw up means to make a mistake or do something incorrectly, resulting in problems or negative consequences. Another way to say this is mess up.

The expression I almost lost it means “I almost lost my temper (=got very obviously angry).”

The other person in the conversation says “You’ve gotta cut him some slack” – this means “You need to give him some extra freedom/patience, or treat him less severely than normal.”

🌹Comparative Adjectives: Not As _ As


🌹Comparative Adjectives in English



🌹How to compare two things by using comparative adjectives:

Add -ER (taller, older, faster)

Add -ER and double the final consonant (bigger, hotter, thinner)

Remove -Y and add -IER (easier, friendlier, prettier)

Add “more” or “less” to long words (more expensive, less popular, more interesting)

Irregular comparatives (better, farther, worse)


🌹There’s another structure that you can use:


✍Not As (Adjective) As


Running is not as fast as biking.
= Biking is faster than running.

Canada is not as hot as Ecuador.
= Ecuador is hotter than Canada.

Movies are not as interesting as books.
= Books are more interesting than movies.

Playing video games is not as good as exercising.
= Exercising is better than playing video games.



✍Remember that in this structure, we don’t use -ER or “more” with the adjective.

❌This shirt isn’t as prettier as that blouse.

✅This shirt isn’t as pretty as that blouse.


❌Last week’s test wasn’t as worse as the previous one.

✅Last week’s test wasn’t as bad as the previous one.

🌹Hafiz

🌹حافظ

💐Ghazal

🌹The messenger who arrived from the land of my friend
Brought a charm, fragrant, and in the hand of my friend.
Wonderfully displayed her beauty and her glory
With the tales of noble and regal stand of my friend.
My heart took in the good news, though coy and shy
My heart readily will serve every command of my friend.
Thank heavens for the help of smiling fate
Runs smooth every errand of my friend.
The revolving orbs and the firmament have no say
They move at every wish and demand of my friend.
If the winds of calamity blow in both worlds
My eyes upon the composure, calm & bland of my friend.
Bring me a rare jewel, O gentle morning breeze
Since you have blown over the very sand of my friend.
We stand in Love's land, while our needs grand
Sweet dreams never brought a hair strand of my friend.
Hafiz, fear no foes who reprimand my friend
Thank God, I am not ashamed of me and of my friend.





🌹آن پیک نامور که رسید از دیار دوسـت
آورد حرز جان ز خط مشکـبار دوسـت
خوش می‌دهد نشان جلال و جـمال یار
خوش می‌کند حکایت عز و وقار دوست
دل دادمش به مژده و خجلت هـمی‌برم
زین نقد قلب خویش که کردم نثار دوست
شـکر خدا کـه از مدد بخـت کارساز
بر حسب آرزوست همه کار و بار دوست
سیر سپـهر و دور قمر را چه اخـتیار
در گردشـند بر حسب اختیار دوسـت
گر باد فتنه هر دو جهان را به هـم زند
ما و چراغ چشم و ره انتـظار دوسـت
کحل الجواهری به من آر ای نسیم صبح
زان خاک نیکبخت که شد رهگذار دوست
ماییم و آستانـه عـشـق و سر نیاز
تا خواب خوش که را برد اندر کنار دوست
دشمن به قصد حافظ اگر دم زند چه باک
منت خدای را که نیم شرمسار دوست
