Native English speakers, please help me, I’ve never been able to figure out this question
"My high school English teacher told me that grammar is very important, so I often think for a long time before speaking or writing every sentence in English, or I’m afraid of making grammar mistakes after writing. This really bothers me. I’m eager to express my thoughts, but I’m afraid that grammar mistakes will make me a target of ridicule. I don’t know if, as native speakers, you can understand sentences with grammar mistakes. Do you think grammar mistakes are really childish?
I've been learning English on Duo for 1.5 years now and I feel like I'm making very slow progress.
I'm from China, I'm 35 years old, I've been studying English for so long and I got 36 points on Duo. How should I plan my subsequent study? Can anyone give a little advice?
Is my English good enough? Be honest
I want to start creating content on social media in the opinion niche about the US because I love America. I’m from Spain, Europe so I don’t know if I should do the content in English (with my accent) or in Spanish (my native language). This is how my voice sounds in English: https://voca.ro/1124jW041LnB
Fruit or fruits
I've been always taught that plural form of fruit is fruit, but today I came across fruits in the text, so which is it? Are both forms ok? Can we use them or is fruits a mistake??? #plurals
"I hated them for they were so phony" is that correct English? I heard it from Kurt Cobain

The taste of coffee ☕ without sugar
It's not sour,not salty,not sweet so what is it ?I know a word but I am not sure if it's correct or not
Do you agree with "to clarify" ?
From my knowledge, to clarify means you're the one providing information that's potentially unclear, and you want to make it clear
"You mumble asleep" vs "You mumble in your sleep"
Is any of them incorrect? If so, why?
I’m doubting if the answer GPT given is natural
Today I learned new phrase come/go with the territory. To test whether I validly grasp its usage, I made a sentence with this phrase “ using the internet comes with the territory of risking leaking your private information” but it gave me a refined version replacing “leaking “with “exposure of “which comes off a bit weird to me. I remember it’s highlighted “ wherever possible,use verb than noun to avoid redundancy” in many grammar books. How come gpt thought it’d be more natural to use a noun here?
