Talking about length of time - how do you say this: Hi! I always get confused when I try to tell somebody how long ago or for how long something happened. Just to get it straight once and for all (I'll learn these by heart), could someone translate these phrases for me (I've given examples in brackets for better understanding). Also, did I forget expressions that fit in here? Thanks in advance!! :-) - in two weeks (I'm going to Japan in 2 weeks) - two weeks ago (I saw the movie 2 weeks ago) - for two weeks (I've been sick for 2 weeks) - for two weeks (I'm staying in Japan for 2 weeks)

たかく　ありませ or たかくないです?? I am working with 2 different textbooks to learn Japanese. In these two books I have sor far found the following 3 ways of making an adjective negative: これは　あまり　たかい　くるま　じゃありません。 この　くるまは　あまり　たかく　ありません。 この　くるまは　たかくないです。 So what is the difference between the three? When would I use what? Thanks. :-)

How do I write the small つ on a western keyboard? I can't figure out how to write the small hiragana and katakana on my keyboard. For example, I was trying to write パーテイー, but I have no idea how to make the イ small. Can someone help me? I'm using a PC.

When do I use に　and　で for places? What I think: If I want to say "It is at the house" I would say うちに　あります, but if I'm doing something there I would say, for example: うちで　べんきょうを　します. So is that right? に is used with "to be" at a place and で is used when something is happening or done at a place?

When do I use すみません? If I bump into someone, do I use すみません? Or maybe しつれいしました? If I want to ask for directions, is すみません the right word, to get someone's attention?
