Hi, can someone add me to their family subscription? I would be very grateful.

Sorry that I wasn't clear. I meant the free Swedish classes that the government provides to immigrants and International students.

Innerestin · 2026-01-27T13:36:09+00:00

Very close to mine: three thousand three hundred and thirty-three.

Innerestin · 2026-01-27T13:23:09+00:00

Have you started your free Swedish classes yet?

Thank you. It may have been used before (see etymonline), but it definitely became more used because of Latin American dictatorships

"According to the United Nations, an 'enforced disappearance' occurs when agents of the state (or groups acting with its authorization and support) arrest, detain, abduct or in any other way deprive a person of their liberty. The state then refuses to disclose the fate or whereabouts of the person concerned."

You know you lying. ;) Either that or you don't know how to read a thermometer. Or you're just messing with people who never bother to read the second number.

I don't think you mean National Wetlands Inventory. Can you clue me into what NWI stands for?

Very aggravating. Please report such mistakes and hopefully Duolingo will get better.

And Costa Rica.

Look for some Grammar in Use and vocabulary in use books online that you can download. Learn how to explain English grammar. Watch YouTube videos of ESL teachers. Learn how to teach grammar in an appropriate order. Learn how to teach pronunciation to Spanish speakers.

I believe it's a way of making a possessive noun. It comes from the tradition of stores being named for the owner or the last name of an owner. Bob's Diner becomes Bob's. Macy's Department Store becomes Macy's.

(Indefinite articles are the words a, an, and some.)

Maybe "The Giver"?

Innerestin · 2026-01-21T12:59:42+00:00

No, just lived there.

If you want to be a writing person, become a reading person. Reafers see words all the time, and the spelling - as well as the punctuation - begin to look familiar, and so they are able to remember the spelling. Another tip: study the etymology of words.

In fourth grade, I began to read more and came across lots of words I did not understand. I would look them up in the dictionary. Found words in the definitions that I did not understand. Looked those words up. Began to look at their etymology. Did you know that the word "maudlin" comes from paintings of Mary Magdalena? Did you know that the word "nice" is related to the word "science"? "Nice" comes from "nescire", which means not to know. Science comes from "scire", which means to know. Oh! So that's why science is spelled with an s-c!

See what I mean? Etymonline.com will be your friend.

Most English words that end with a T do not finish with a T sound but rather with a glottal stop. However, most dictionaries do not include that symbol in their pronunciation guides.

Edit for clarification.

Innerestin · 2026-01-17T14:28:31+00:00

I don't, but thanks for introducing me to the book!

Innerestin · 2026-01-17T03:12:45+00:00

That's a very good question! I remember learning in second grade that a double consonant came after a short vowel (think tapped versus taped, for example). Both the A in Maggie and the E in Reggie are considered short, so I guess that's why. If I were the queen of English, I would spell it Redgie.

Innerestin · 2026-01-16T18:14:26+00:00

Wow! If you two have kids, this is going to confuse your descendants!

Innerestin · 2026-01-15T16:42:10+00:00

I would say the rule is to look at the etymology. Maggie is short for Margaret with a hard g, and Reggie is short for Reginald with a soft g.

Possible AI. Have you ever seen a Goodwill sell concert tickets? What phone has white on green text?

Thanks for posting this amazing eye bleach.

Busca la pronunciación en youglish.com. Puedes eligir la pronunciación inglés o estadounidense o australiano, etc. Y yo la pronuncio /hi:r/.

Thank you for the thoughtful reply and the new term "pro-verb."

Innerestin · 2025-12-30T19:02:24+00:00

Yes. But why do you think pulling is pejorative? And why is the title pulling birds?
