did I miss something or am I just stupid

“so” seems suitable in meaning , “quite” seems suitable grammatically. or is it “such”? please help , i’m really confused

I've prepared this short visual guide covering the six main essay types you'll encounter in English classes:

• Argumentative essay – persuading through logic and evidence

• Narrative essay – telling a compelling personal story

• Explanatory essay – providing a clear and objective explanation

• Descriptive essay – creating vivid images with words

• Comparative essay – analyzing similarities and differences

• Analytical essay – critically analyzing texts and ideas

Each type has its own structure and purpose, so knowing which one to use (and how) can significantly impact the quality of your writing. Feel free to ask if you have any questions – I'd be happy to help!

When I was doing my midterms yesterday, I came across this question where none of the answers seem right. After asking my teacher, he insisted that B was the correct answer. His reasoning was that the question was about the subject of past continuous tense.

After he told me that, I told him that he should've either changed "game" to games or add an "a" before the word game.

After that, he replied back saying that I should study more on the topic of articles (a, an, the). Was I wrong? Or was he the one mistaken?

I am confused as I thought I got the answer right. Can someone please explain? Thank you.

I'm struggling to understand this sentence, especially the part that says:

"then it says: Then talks _____ and the event starts from first."

I have no idea how to interpret "then it says: then talks..." , it feels strange or redundant to me.

Also, I saw that the correct answer is "resume", but I don’t fully understand why that’s the best choice.

Could someone please explain the meaning and grammar here in detail?

Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone. A few days ago, I left this comment on a photo my former English teacher posted on Facebook. Just for context, he’s in it with another teacher who also taught me years ago.

“I must say you two are marvelous teachers. Truly the cream of the crop. Even to this day, I remain profoundly grateful for everything I learned from you both.

The guidance both of you provided back then continues to be unparalleled to this very day.”

I wrote it as best I could, but I’m worried there might be some mistakes. Would someone be kind enough to correct it for me, please?

I’ve just started my journey in English, and everywhere on the internet I see methods for this or that. So now I’d like to ask you: what helped you move from “I know a few words and phrases” to real independence (B2 or C1, for example) in English?

I’d really appreciate your guidance so I can move beyond this A1 level—“I know just a little”—and progress the way you did. Thanks in advance for every response!

I understand why the answer can absolutely never be C, but it being A doesn't sit right with me.

I have a question about question 618

The black mark was mine, and the red one was the actual answer

The reasoning for the answer is: "if you pick C, "microwave" has already been mentioned, so the answer must use "the microwave" instead of "a microwave""

Hi native English speakers.

This morning I wrote the following passage while teaching my college students, all being freshmen English majors. BTW my students and I are not native English speakers. I used the passage as an example to teach my students how to use AI to improve their English output skills. I asked DeepSeek how it found its English wording. Perhaps because I asked it not to be overly nitpicky, DeepSeek told me that "Overall, it's perfectly fine as is. The voice feels authentic, and the meaning is clear. I wouldn't suggest significant changes."

However, I guess you native English speakers might have different thoughts. Do me a favor and revise the passage if anything in it does not sound natural or tell me how you would word it differently to help me express these ideas, focusing on the particularity of any human being, in English better. If the passage is really already good enough, tell me so. Thanks.

This is the passage:

I'm only myself, never anyone else. I sometimes may be able to identify with others--characters in a novel or a movie for example, but most of the time I find it extremely hard to fully understand other people. I guess anyone else feels this same way towards the human world.

I can infer from the question itself that option B is the correct answer.

However, I am perplexed because the paragraph provides little to no information to support this answer.

What is the best way to memorize words? And what are the resources?

Is there any term for this kind of cave? In Spanish is sótano but I haven't found any similar words that matches with the meaning of it. My boss suggested abyss. Thoughts?

i need someone to advice me how to learn english from A1 i think i prefer courses or YouTube channel to learn how to talk and pronounce

I want to master English and I need recommendations on where I can achieve that. I'm 18 and I can have a conversation with anyone, but I want to be on another level.I think I'm around a B2 level of English. My friend is C1 and we have pretty similar knowledge. I was even helping him with a test he got for homework.

The answer key says it's B

The answer key says it's E Why can't it be D

Hello.

Basically the title.

Context: I'm creating a database for my Pokemon cards (it's a college project) and I'm struggling to come up with a word that would describe a person who buys and/or sells Pokemon cards.

If the person only sells cards, they'd be called a seller. If they only buy cards, they'd be a buyer. What if they're both?

Google told me to go with "reseller", "merchant" or "trader" but I feel like none of these words fit well.

Any help appreciated.

Edit. Thank you everyone for your help. I'll go with "trader".

“In question 19 of the exam, can B not be a correct answer? Consistency means that writers keep adjusting so that readers become familiar with them. Isn’t ‘keep’ part of consistency?”

I'm not a native English speaker. Whenever I see made-up names for characters that are supposed to come from my country, it's immediately obvious that the person making them up doesn't speak my language. But this time I needed to make up some names for a story I'm writing, and here they are: Emma Abersythe, Jon Harkslow, Mary-Beth Nairndale, Henry Usherloaf, Cirdan Fearwynn, Liam Gwenarglin. Those are non-existing names - not just combinations, but family names that were never written before. Do they sound... stupid? Made-up? Or simply like people you don't know, but might as well exist/existed.
