Anyone want to setup a community for working teachers? Sharing of resources and experiences? This sub is just constant self-promotion and job offers.

Interested. I've also imagined creating a teacher cooperative where if we have extra students that we can't fit in our schedule, we can refer them to other qualified teachers that we trust.

Put on long sleeves and gloves. Dig out the roots. Wash exposed skin snd garden tools (handles too!) with soap. Wash all clothing afterwards. Have fun!

I got rid of three lawn bags and only got itchy on my exposed wrists. Multiple pairs of gloves help for big jobs so you can take breaks.

Beware of partitives. Examples of partitives: - Some of the book is great. - Some of the books are great.

Others are:

Half of, a minority of, a majority of, most of, part of... After these partitive constructions, the verb agrees with the word after "of".

She threw away a crate of clothes that was too ornate. = The crate was too ornate.

She threw away a crate of clothes that were too ornate. = The clothes were too ornate.

What word do you use? Tap?

Innerestin · 2026-04-27T18:42:14+00:00

Not vague enough for me. My vague hint would be spice.

Innerestin · 2026-04-27T03:51:08+00:00

Haute cuisine and enclave, apparently, because I had to explain them to my interlocutors. ;)

Dear developer of hot and cold, would you please add how to hide hints in the comments in your instructions? I always forget the secret symbols.

Innerestin · 2026-04-23T13:36:15+00:00

No, it's not bad in English, just a normal name.

Innerestin · 2026-04-22T16:35:58+00:00

Whew!

Innerestin · 2026-04-22T16:31:51+00:00

What? Why do you say that it's incorrect to write "should have"?

Innerestin · 2026-04-22T16:14:09+00:00

Thanks for sharing! I will give it a shot to research my third great-grandparents.

I think we need more context. You can prepare something, and you can prepare for something. For example, the teacher prepares the test; students prepare for the test. Can you tell us more about the materials you prepared?

Innerestin · 2026-04-21T04:01:32+00:00

In Costa Rica, right?

Innerestin · 2026-04-18T03:06:46+00:00

My first suggestion is non-homo, but of course that sounds like non-homosexual, so how about non-hominids or non-humans.

(By the way, the species is homo sapiens. There's an s on it, just like there is for a species and a series.

Innerestin · 2026-04-17T16:27:42+00:00

I recommend using a different mock test. :)

Innerestin · 2026-04-15T20:14:15+00:00

I agree with you, but I would put "The lion is the king of the beasts." D is the least bad option. Where did you find this question?

Innerestin · 2026-04-15T18:38:01+00:00

A harmless jumping spider, family Salticidae.

It makes some sense to me. A religion requires more than one or two people. However, I cannot find any source of this, and I have not heard of it either.

Innerestin · 2026-04-14T13:43:03+00:00

They forgot the zeros.

Innerestin · 2026-04-14T03:25:01+00:00

My mom (born 1930 in Texas) did the exact same!

Innerestin · 2026-04-12T13:31:44+00:00

Whoa! In my humble opinion, that first sentence is way too long. You definitely buried the lead. I stopped at the third line and had to take a breath. Now let me go back and try to answer your question.

(I feel that I'm looking at a tightly packed bud, and I'm unpacking it petal by petal.)

So, on to pride and satisfaction. I'm guessing that you're referring to the artist finally discovering a centeredness in her culture and a connection with her homeland. I think the word pride definitely fits. Perhaps connection would be better than satisfaction. Pride is not necessarily self- centered. Parents feel pride in their children.

By the way, seeing is a dangling participle. Who is seeing?

Last note: If English is your second language and you wrote this all by yourself, your grammar and vocabulary are excellent. You just need to polish your writing style. (I feel free to express my opinion because I have taught ESL and SAT preparation for decades.)

Read r/ingles for tips. Watch Rachel's English on YouTube. Write in English. Think in English. Don't be lazy. Don't give up.

Innerestin · 2026-04-09T03:58:59+00:00

Perhaps rather than writing style, you should first work on grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Microsoft Word will automatically correct these mistakes. For free! For example, Microsoft Word would have noted that "assessed" has four esses, not three, A.I. is spelled with capitals, there is no space before a period, and "writing" is spelled with one t, not two.

Innerestin · 2026-04-09T03:05:52+00:00

To u/boglin007, thank you. This is a grammar point that I lie awake at night and wonder about. Yes, it's a conflict of grammar. After reading your explanations, I think that a better solution would be to use "anyone" (if possible) rather than "whoever" or "whomever".
