When do you use many and much? Hello! I learnt that "many" and "much" are usually used in interrogatives and negatives sentences, but I´ve heard "many" in affirmative sentences a lot of times. Do you follow this rule or do you use "many" in all kind of sentences? Thank you!

On the other hand... I know that I can say "On the one hand....on the other hand...." But, is it mandatory to say "on the one hand" previously and then "on the other hand" or can I use "on the other hand" on its own after describing any situation? THank you!

"How long have you lived here" and "How long have you been living here"? Are they 2 different ways of asking the same thing or have they different meanings? Thank you!

You spend half of your life trying to left your hometown and the other half trying to go back! I was born in a little village in the north of Spain and despite of having a happy childhood, I would dream about living in a city. When I was 16, I asked my mum if I could go to Burgos (one of the closest cities) in order to study the last 2 years of high school.; she accepted and I felt that a new life would start. After 2 years I moved to a bigger city, Bilbao and I started to study Image and Sound. Soon, I got a job as a camera operator and worked for 6 years. During those years I had amazing experiencies, met really interesting people (famous and unknown) and travelled a lot. However, I got tired of not knowing when I was going to start or finish my working day. Most of the days I didn´t know if I could had dinner at home or if the phone was going to ring at 3 am and I´d have to jump off the bed. After 6 years I realized that it wasn´t the kind of live I wanted for myself in the future, so, I quit it and went off to Sweden for 4 months. It was an incredible experienced since it was wintertime and I had never been at -24ºC! Then I spent 6 months in Ireland . I had liked to stay there longer, but I had a boyfriend and coming to Ireland was imposible for him and I thought it was time to go back home. I felt in love with that country and its people, so I go back there every year since then. Nowdays I´m married and living in my village again! Happy of being close to my parents and meeting my friends to grab a drink or have dinner in less than 10 minutes. If I miss something from the city, I just have to take my car and drive for one hour, the rest of my time, I prefer living in my village.

What the difference between: "Nice to meet you" and "Nice to meeting you" I think that you use the first one when you meet someone for the first time, and the second when you already know that person (for a short time) and you say goodbye... Am I right? I´m not sure at all... :)

So far, so good! Hi everyone! I´m so happy that I have found this site/ I´m so happy for finding this site (are them both correct?) I´ve been looking for a site like this for a long time but, until now, I had just found boys ready to flirt... (that´s very annoying when your only purpose is to improve your language skills) I´m so happy to have to opportunity to help and be helped!! Sometimes it can be a bit messy to correct the entries since there are many differents ways to express the same idea... But I´ll do my best! I hope to take advantage of it! And by the way, thanks to all the people who take their time to help others! ;) Happy Sunday!

Busy moment! This year is being very tough for me; I´m studying at university and at the same time, I´m working so I don´t have much free time. They say it´s good to be occupied (even more in these times -I don´t know if I can say "in these times") but I have the feeling that the weeks pass by and I don´t do anything but work and sudy, and when the weekend is here I´m really tired. I know that it´s going to be like this for some more months, but I hate being in a rush all day! I´m new in the teaching world so I spend a lot of time thinking about*1 ideas for my classes. I get very frustate sometimes because I don´t want to teach the way I learnt English in school, but when you run out of ideas, you tend to do what you are used to, I´m trying not to do that though*2! hehehe! *1: Is there any difference between "think of " and "think about"? *2: When I hear people saying "though" I understand the meaning. However, it´s hard for me to use it when I speak... Can anyone give me some examples? Thank you!
