Could someone give me feedback on my pronunciation when singing this song?
[Link to my video :)](https://youtu.be/QCjv_p4IWCI?si=95OVnJLGLh-wVV2w) I'm Brazilian and I don't speak English natively, but I know a few things. I recorded the video in a simple and relatively quick way, just to post it on my social media today. I'll say that even when I analyzed the video, I already identified some things that sounded a bit strange to me and that I would try to improve, even though I didn't notice them at the time, but I'll leave it up to you to draw your own conclusions. Just to mention one example that seemed frequent to me in this video: the fact that I apparently pronounce the "t" at the end of some words in an extremely weak way (e.g.: white, right, tonight). Watching the video, it might seem like I didn't even pronounce it, but it turns out that I make a sound with my mouth in these cases that is very soft and I feel like it might not be right. And of course, there are other things that I noticed, as I mentioned. I understand that it may be difficult, but I will be very happy if someone offers to analyze it, feel free to give feedback. :)
what does slide mean?
I know sometime it means to revenge or to ignore but which is correct
has parked the car there for two hours
Do the following sentences work? a. He has parked the car there for two hours. b. The car has been parked there for two hours.
I have some doubts
1. If Jack had started from the hotel on time, he *would have not* missed the flight. Shouldn't it be "would not have", or when is (modelverb + primary verb + not) structure allowed? 2. *Should you wish* to join our party, you must let us know by the end of the day. Is it the same as saying "If you wish", and if so, can this be used in the place of "should you wish"? # In each of the following sentences, which of these two should be used, also are there are instances when the use of both AMONG & BETWEEN is allowed? 3. The books were distributed (among/between) the three girls. 4. The books were distributed (among/between) the two of them. 5. The books were distributed (among/between) Jack, Tom, and Rose. 6. The books were distributed (among/between) Jack and Tom. Thank you!
What is the correct answer?
The given sentence is divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error. If we / were meeting at 6 p.m., / we will / have plenty of time.

New Year's request to help with grammar
Hey everyone and Happy (nearing) New Year! I desperately need a thorough explanation on the proper use of the word "wish", as both a noun and a verb. Here's the things I need to clarify when "wish" acts as a verb: 1. Is "I wish someone to do X" a phrase that sounds unnatural? For example, "I wish him to be healthy", "I wish you to pass your exam", "I wish her to get better", "I wish you to stay strong", "I wish you to manage to fulfill your dreams", etc. If these are all unnatural, what would be the natural go-to phrase be so I could use it with verbs? I need a phrase that would work for general things ("to be healthy", "to stay strong", "to feel good") AND a phrase that would work for things that are yet to happen ("to pass your exam", "to get the promotion", "to find the right person"). Can you use "I wish that someone does X" when referring to general or future events from the examples above? "I wish that you stay healthy", "I wish that you get a raise", etc. I know it's possible to use "hope" when you want something to happen for someone in the future, but is "hope" the only option or can you use "wish" with the same meaning? I am aware you can use "wish that" for the subjunctive mood, like "I wish I was/were smarter", "I wish my father never lied to people" and things like that, but that's not what I'm going for here. My intent is general things a person wants for someone else or something that's yet to happen and we want them to come true. 2. How do you use "to wish for"? Is it similar to "want" but in a more poetic / magical sense? "I'm wishing for cookies right now" like "I'm craving for cookies"? Could someone please provide more examples on how to use "wish for" as a verb? Please <3 I think that's it for the verb cases. And here's the things I need to clarify when "wish" acts as a noun: 1. "A wish for something", "wish to do something", "a wish for someone to do something", are those natural? If not, what are the possible natural workarounds? I know I'm asking for a lot here, I'm sorry it's such a long read and the request is so huge. Happy holidays everyone, I really appreciate everyone's input on this!

Grammar....
Why is for use in this sentence and not because of *do you think Pablo is going to reward you for being braved?* I'm still confused about when to use for and because when talking about the reason.
I'm supposed to have gone.
Does the following work? I'm supposed to have gone.
