Can v2 still be done in English by using the do support
So, instead of saying "At night, I eat sweets", If "v2" was used it'd be "At night do I eat sweets. " This is just an Idea that came to mind. Thank you.
I'm sorry tf is that construction?
I just don't get it. Is op trying to ask whether either of the two options real? Is it legit?
Struggling with Vocabulary While Reading Books
I am not a native English speaker, but I can understand and speak English well enough. Since I’ve been a cinephile for a long time, understanding dialogues in films or TV shows has never been an issue for me. But reading books is a different story. I often come across unfamiliar words and have to look them up, which slows me down. Tbh i enjoy it, but it’s time consuming. Any tips on improving vocabulary or reading faster without constant dictionary checks?
Why is there not many "had" in this? Isn't he referring to something that happened in the past?

Counting days 101?
Greets y’all! I’ve got a question. Assume it’s 3rd of March and someone (say my colleague) tells me he’s got a 10-day vacation in 10 days. Does that mean that: 1. His last work day is March 13th and he goes on vac. on March 14th? 2. Starting on March 14th and ending on 23rd, getting back to work on 24th? More of a math question I know, but still. Thanks!
I'm liking/loving it
When I studied English grammar as a non-native speaker, I learned that "to like" and "to love" are stative verbs and can't take the -ing form, but I'm finding more and more occurrences of the -ing form in the wild. What gives? Is it finally time to update our grammar texts?

1. The math class ended because of the smoke alarms this morning. 2. The math class was ended by the smoke alarms this morning. Can we also use “finish” here?
Pronunciation difference between "RANT" and "RENT"
Hello, y'all. Is my pronunciation understandable or do I make some mistakes? (Most of the time when I meet any of these words, I don't hear the clear difference and understand only because of the context which one is used) [https://voca.ro/15bf1h0W5P4Q](https://voca.ro/15bf1h0W5P4Q)
Which is a better response to “How are you”?
I’ve used both of these and they both kinda seem right but I’m not sure. If someone says “How are you” does “I’m good, how about yourself” or I’m good, what about yourself” make more sense?
