Recommend smb V or to V? Hello dear italki people!
In different textbooks there are different examples of how to use "recommend" in sentences. For example, "I recommend you visit this place" or "I recommend you to visit this place". What is correct and why? May both of them be correct?

Cheburashka's song Once I tried to tranlate Cheburashka's song for little children. Does it sound well? Is it possible to shift word stresses in poems in English? Like here in "phenomEnal". I used to be a strange toy And neither girl nor boy wanted to play with me When they saw me My name is Cheburashka And every dog and cat now Says hello to me Every time we meet I had a bad luck firstly When even on my birthday Nobody was there And I was by myself Now we're friends with Gena He is just phenomenal This crocodile is yet The best I've ever met.

Certain or sure Dear italki people, Could you explain the difference between these words and their usage. In one of the textbooks I came across the fact that certain is non-gradable , while sure is gradable. Is it so?

Total fitness/ overall fitness. Can you explain these terms? I encountered these terms in one of the article, but the Russian translation doesn't make their meanings clear enough. Is there anyone who is an expert in the sports terms? Could you explain them, please?

Can you decode my dream? Hi, everyone! Today I had a dream. I was having lunch with Queen Elizabeth. The table was long and there were lots of dishes. I had soup. It was like a puree, there were potato, carrots and chicken legs with herbs. I told the Queen that soup was delicious and she decided to try it. We spoke Russian, but it didn't bother me. The only question that I had during the lunch (or dinner) was why she wasn't wearing a hat. When talking to the Queen I felt important, but I had this little suspicion on my mind. Then I left her for a while on some unimportant business like getting bread or smth. And when I came back it came out that it was not a Queen but a pseudo Queen. I felt disappointed and deceited.
