Do we pronounce the "h" in this particular case?
"It was going in his direction" Do we drop the "h" or not?

Why is it possible to abridge "a" here?
I'm confused and thank you for explanation.

Do those sentences depend of the context?
I understand that the second sentence implies that the father die and thats why the action doesn't continue (by the meme of course). But native speakers automatically think like that or you would say that u need more context and so you think that the father did something and that's it? I'm trying to understand if the meaning by sentences like that (without the image of course) could be misinterpreted
what english words always mess you up?
English has some words that are really confusing. For me, itβs "borrow" and "lend." I always said "Can you borrow me a pen?" and didnβt realize it was wrong until someone corrected me. Another one is "fun" and "funny." I used to say something was funny when I just meant it was fun. It still gets me sometimes. What about you? Are there any words in English that confuse you no matter how much you practice? Iβm curious if we share the same struggles
