I'm an American student interested in improving my German by chatting with native speakers! I learned German for two years in school, and have visited Germany once. I'm also happy to help you with English. Contact me if you want to talk on Skype.

    Yes, 'ancient times' comes after 'prehistoric times'. As a Westerner, I think of Ancient Greece and Rome when I hear the term 'ancient times'. As far as I know, there is not a transition period between medieval times and modern times. If you want to refer to the 17th-century, for example, and are not sure how to classify it, you would simply specify that it is the 17th-century. I hope this helped!

    Do you know anyone you can talk to every day in English? Hearing and speaking the language often is the best way to learn it. I'd be happy to practice with you on Skype.

    They mean the same thing, but I would say "What's the point of that?" You've probably heard both, though, and I think they are both correct.

    If you have power over someone, you can force them to do something. If you have an influence on someone, they might listen to you and take your advice but you cannot force them to do anything. 'Power' is stronger than 'influence'. I hope this makes sense and that it helps!

    He was on the ninth floor. If he were on the 10th, 11th, or 12th floor, the sentence would be: "He was in a building above the ninth floor."

    Was ist der Unterschied zwischen 'Worte' und 'Wörter'? Beispiele wären toll. :)

    They all mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably. Are you thinking of any sentence in particular?

    Yes, the words are interchangeable. If anything, "entail" is a bit more forceful. And yes, the sentence is written correctly, although it's not always true. :)

    It's a swear word. Use it when you're angry.
