I am really confused about this word
Whats the meaning of 'Audacity'? And in what different contexts it can be used? Sorry I am learning English and came across this word many times and also in a reddit sub. Please help me : )
From Cambridge dictionary. The latter example doesn’t make sense to me
To me the simple statement “none” sounds very unambiguous, contrary to the definition of “equivocally” above. I feel like my english got pretty decent in the last couple of years and it’s been a while since I got so confused by a dictionary definition. The sky is blue, the sea is wet, no patients fully recovered. How does the latter have two opposing meanings?
How do i improve my accent?
not sure if this is the right flair or the right sub for it but I have a very typical Indian accent whenever i speak in English, i have tried videos and some apps to try and mimic what they say but i can only do that for words, i keep failing whenever i have to speak in sentences. for example, i can say *bo'ohw'o'wo'er* but when i have to speak a sentence, it automatically becomes "bottle of water"
"Do" is difficult for me.
I sometimes get confused when I study English. In the example sentence "You can speak English"If you are asked to make this sentence a question,It will be"Can you speak English?" This is easy to understand because you can see "can". But if you use "You speak English" as a question, "Do you speak English?" right?I don't know because there is no "do" in "You speak English". " Are "You do speak English" and "do" really in the sentence? Does that mean it's abbreviated? Learning a language is very interesting.
What’s the joke here? Why would an electrician strip?

Can we omit “at” and just say “…minutes before…”?

What sentence do you think is written correctly?
1. It is me who am wrong. 2. It is I who am wrong. 3. It is me who is wrong. 4. It is I who is wrong. In my opinion, I think 2, 3 and 4 are all correct, but 2 will be the most formal and archaic, 3 will be the most casual and 4 will be used in a formal context nowadays. It is just my speculation, how about you? Thank you very much!
Do you native English speakers use the word feed to refer to breastfeeding' in everyday speech?
For instance would a mom say "I'm feeding the baby" in place of "I'm breastfeeding" in everyday speech? I know the dictionary meaning of the word 'feed', but I was wondering whether it was used by native English speakers to refer to breastfeeding as well in everyday conversation. Your responses are very much appreciated. Thank you!
What a native English speaker would say in this instance...
Here's the scenario. A mom is feeding her kid with a spoon in the kitchen. Someone from the living room asks her to come. In this scenario is it natural for a native English speaking mom to say "I can't. I'm feeding the kid"? If not what would be a natural response? Thanks in advance!
