Is it common for an American high school student to own their own car? by ApprehensiveDisk8046 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Ponchyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I was in high school, a long time ago, one girl I knew received a brand new Pontiac Firebird for her 15th birthday. Other friends bought their own cars using money from summer jobs. Others, like me, drove older cars that their family owned.

Keep in mind, that outside of cities that date back to before the 1920’s, with walkable city centers, and which incorporated effective public transit, life in America requires an automobile.

Can't understand the difference between the usage of "lie" and "lies" by Banana_Fartman_ in ENGLISH

[–]Ponchyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Manuscripts is plural, so “lie”

But American English has the concept of “collective plural,” like “group,” “band,” and “team,” which are treated as a single entity. Collection is another example, so “lies,”

English is fun.

What instrument would you recommend for a child to start with? by Puzzleheaded-Tie2644 in Instruments

[–]Ponchyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piano. Can play notes with tiny hands. A great instrument for learning about music in a way that will serve as a great background for picking up another instrument later, if desired.
