I'm basically just a native English speaker with some teaching experience who visits here sometimes because I'm bored. I know a lot about theory related to practicing and learning languages, but I don't actually teach English for money. I'm also abnormally knowledgeable about English language musicology.

    Yes. But you won't hear it spoken very often in the US. It's mostly only used formally and even then only sometimes. I use it sometimes when writing. But I rarely ever say it.

    In my opinion, comprehending English and communicating in English ARE more important than memorizing grammar rules or having perfect English grammar. You will learn habits if you use English often. You don't need to always be consciously aware of every grammatical detail when you use English.

    However, you should try to develop good habits and you should also try to understand the concepts of English grammar.

    Ranked by level of formality (in my opinion) Greetings: 1. Hello 2. Hi 3. Hey Confirmations: 1. Yes 2. Yeah 3. Yep 4. Yah Although "Yah" actually sounds more like German or something other than English. Hi and Hey are also somewhat tied. They often have somewhat different tones. Hey can mean hello or it can mean "I want your attention." I live in the Southeastern US. A common local phrase in this part of the US is "hey y'all." This is somewhat informal, but it isn't rude at all. It means "Hello, group of two or more people."

    It isn't considered to be rude in the US. Perhaps mildly disgusting. But not rude.

    A Light in the Attic (poetry collection for children) Where the Sidewalk Ends (poetry collection) various books by the author named Dr. Seuss Charlotte's Web But you didn't specify the age or reading level of the child. It's also possible to find videos of books being read out loud on YouTube

    This might be a matter of regional terminology to some degree. But there are also some technical differences. "Swamp" is the most common of these words in modern American English. "Moor" seems to be more of a British English thing. Some Americans wouldn't even know what you're talking about if you said this word to them. I've never even heard the term "fen."

    "lumped into" = placed into a category with other things (possibly incorrectly) "made clear up front" = to clearly state intentions, fact, etc. in a forward, direct or candid way

    What you said was technically grammatically correct. However, there are some subtle things that would not be obvious to many non-native English speakers. In my opinion, the phrase "I was at church on Sunday" almost implies that there is a pattern of going to church on a regular basis. It also implies more of being part of an activity or a social gathering. But the term "I was at the church" has a tone that sounds more like the "church" is a building that they are referring to. If someone said this, then I would be less likely to assume that they were referring to church services. They might have been there for some other reason instead. However, the "Sunday" part does imply the strong possibility that they were there for church services because Sunday is the traditional day for these things. I'm not sure if this helped you or confused you, but those are my thoughts about this topic.

    In terms of teaching styles and personalities, I would prefer Mr. Miyagi. I think that Yoda is somewhat annoying.

    However, Force skills are much cooler than Karate. So if I was choosing the specific skill set instead of just the teacher, then I would probably tolerate Yoda if it was necessary to becoming a Jedi. But I would actually prefer Obi-Wan instead.

    Practice your reading and writing skills more if you would like to improve your thought expression skills.

    Also find people to communicate with often.
