Does English sound nice to you? Is it nice to speak?
I’m a Native American English speaker. I’ve been listening to a lot of music in Spanish lately and the language just sounds so beautiful. I feel that way about a lot of foreign languages, and I know I’m not unique in that way. I have a lot of love for the study of English, but as it’s the language I’ve heard the most in my life, it just sounds everyday. I was just wondering what people from other countries thought. For example, does someone from Spain think English sounds as beautiful as I think Spanish sounds?
What should it be?
Could this be "I'm honored that you did write,..." ? If so, why is it not "wrote"? Thank you.
Why "I'm dead" here? Shouldn't it be "I will/would be dead"?

Native speakers: do you also struggle with English grammar?
I’m learning English and honestly… grammar rules are all over the place. Sometimes I feel like I’m doing okay, then get tripped up by things like article usage, phrasal verbs, or weird exceptions. Just curious, do native speakers also mess up sometimes? Or does it just come naturally once you grow up with it? Also, if anyone has a trick to remember when to use “a” vs. “the” please share 😅
What’s the ONE English word you always mess up — no matter how many times you learn it?
We all have that one word… You hear it. You read it. You learn it. Then boom — you forget how to pronounce it or use it again. 😂 For me, it’s “entrepreneur” — my tongue gives up every time. What’s your personal “enemy word” in English? Let’s make a wall of pain below 👇
Is it a mistake?
I was sure I must use "slept", because it's past simple test and "slept"is the second form of "sleep". So what's wrong?

What does “recess to” mean in this sentence?

Never assume because it makes an “ASS out of U and ME”
My dad would tell me this when I was a child and insisted it would help me remember how to spell the word assume “ass-u-me” Are there any other phrases or tricks to remember certain words in the English language?
