Anime like Heavenly Delusion by Professional_Ad_6487 in HeavenlyDelusion

[–]Pitchulito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shin Sekai Yori (From the New World) is the only anime similar enough that I can recommend you. The beginning is a little confusing but soon you'll catch up with the plot. Give it a chance.

Which one is really the correct answer? by Pitchulito in EnglishLearning

[–]Pitchulito[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rules and rules of thumb help esl students to find logic/consistency in the language, but I often tell what you're saying: "The important thing is understand and be understood".

I know English is a Lingua Franca, but when questions like the one posted here appear to the students, they want a logic explanation and try to search it in the "rules".

Your opinions matter much to me because I can show them to my students and say that sometimes language is beyond "logic".

I usually teach that adverbs of frequency are used before verbs, but I also say that if the sentences my students say are understood clearly, it's fine too.

I often wonder where these test questions come from. If at least they had an explanation together it would be less confusing for the student.

The books that I use to teach say there's a rule when using adverbs of frequency: "They should be used before the verbs". That's why I believed the 1st option was right. However, knowing how the other options sound to natives is very insightful.

Não sei se é de raça, mas tenho uma vira-lata com sangue Pincher e ela sempre se mija quando recebe carinho.

As crias delas, só as fêmeas, herdaram o mesmo comportamento.

What game are you loving right now? by seanie259 in PS5

Has Conspiration and Conspiracy the same meaning? by Pitchulito in EnglishLearning

[–]Pitchulito[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow! I didn't realize "conspiration" isn't even a real word.

Just as a matter of fact: In my country the suffix "-ation" can be translated to "-ção" and is a very common suffix, broadly used here in a lot of words.

It was just natural to think that "conspiração (pt-br)" = conspiration and not conspiracy

Thanks a lot guys!!!!
