British and American Grammar
Hello redditors! I'm at uni and our professor asked us for material to research the differences between British and American grammar, so if you happen to have some material I could use, I would appreciate it.
What do they say? The woman says “I can’t even…”. The man says “small key top or bottom.”

Need a little help on grammar
Need some help with grammar. A little yap; I’m going back to private highschool at 20+ y/o due to some circumstances and I don’t know how to say this. Not sure if I am a native english speaker or my other mother tongue since my country is the only country in the world that is explicitly opened to all cultures and races (no fixed). Enough with yapping. Can anyone please tell me what are the difference between has, had, have and has had? Edit: Oh and if you guys don’t mind sharing, what basic grammar do I have to master to make my essays flow smoothly? I have read composition/ essays written by 13 year old with just the basic english and it is 20x better than mine lol
Any AI app that can help me learn phonics and improve rhythm?
I've tried apps like ElsaSpeak but I'm unable to get the pronunciation right no matter how many times I've tried. I simply couldn't tell the difference between my pronunciations and the app's pronunciations! I asked my friend who is a native speaker to try and she could get it right immediately, so the problem must be on me. I believe that it was because I have never learnt phonics and I have very strong local accent. I want to find some good apps to learn phonics (as an adult), any recommendations? Also, any good ways to improve the speaking "rhythm"? I figured that I usually use the rhythm of my mother language so it doesn't sound natural. Many thanks!
Which preposition is more common? I saw both “on” and “in” for the “home stretch”.

"Do something" vs. "do anything".
What would be the semantic difference between, say, "Can we do something about climate change?" and "can we do anything about climate change?". I kind of feel it, but I can't fully figure it out.
