    /Why people don't sing along with a singer at a concert in the U.S.? Because it's a dick move to the other people in the concert. The guy next to you didn't pay $50 to hear you sing. /Is it a good manner to stay quiet while listening to a live concert? Depends on the concert. Something by Wagner? Totally. Something more modern? Probably chill to make some noise. / Does it imply that they don't enjoy it? Something by Wagner? Totally, but only because no one enjoys anything by Wagner. <-Joke Other stuff? Not necessarily.

    A year ago, while getting out of the shower, Morena Gasparrini had the brilliant idea of creating a radio network about chess. To the delight of every chess player and newcomer to the game, more than twenty episodes were broadcast every two weeks. For now, we use a webcam and a (prehistoric) laptop to broadcast. Our dream is to have: a real frequency a suitable location advanced tools (at least a small camera) special envoys a means of transport for the envoys in order to achieve the tournaments in every corner of the world software programs to make effective transmission [Editor's note: By “Envoys” do you mean reporters?] This is definitely a new mark for the popularization of chess, a sport that has too often been considered niche, forgetting the “global capability” of the game to accommodate about six hundred million players. Recalling that the radio was born on the occasion of the November 1,we put our trust in the help of All Saints, All Souls and especially in all of you alive! /Recalling that the radio was born on the occasion of the November 1,we put our trust in the help of All Saints, All Souls and especially in all of you alive! Is fine, but it's a touch clunky. Hope this helps!

    I disagree with shenme xiao shenme. "still no one understands you." works fine, though the punctuation is wrong. For example: Hans Bethe: I don't see why I should have to explain this to the politicians again. I've been before their committee a hundred times! Random bureaucrat: Still, no one understands you. You should try again. In this context what comes after “still” is more of an explanation than an expression of time. You could have a sentence with, “We've waited an hour and they still aren't here.” “Still” in that sentence would be expressing time. I agree that “Still” as time doesn't work here, but there's nothing grammatically wrong with “Still, no one understands you” and it can be used in some reasonable context. Hope this helps!

I think this can help me, but when I do my English reading I still have many problems. I wish I could speak smoothly. What else can I do? Thank you. I'd recommend speaking with a native speaker. ;D Watching movies in English could also help. What aspect of reading are you having trouble with?

    I decide to study in Canada& I decided to study in Canada. if both make sense, what's the difference? One is in present tense while the other is in past tense. /go off to buy some groceries & go off buying some groceries Likewise, what's the differnece? and is it natural? I wonder if you say go outsiding to buy some groceries. "Go off to buy some groceries" is in the command/imperative form. Bob: "We're out of milk. What should I do?" Bill: "Go off to buy some groceries." "go off buying some groceries" has no subject and so must be a part of some sentence. Bob: "When I get drunk I go off buying some groceries." "Go off buying some groceries" is not natural. It sounds better to my ear to say, "Go off buying groceries" in whatever sentence I try. /I wonder if you say go outsiding to buy some groceries. Not really. “Outside” tends to be out-of-doors, and as groceries are sold in the grocery market or super market, which tend to be indoors, outside and buying groceries don't work particularly well together. Hope this helps!

    /1.It is easy to get accepted to this university. Is fine. (There was a typo, univeristy instead of university, but it's obviously a typo.) /it is easy getting accepted to this university. Getting accepted to this university is easy. We capitalize the first letter in the sentence, and as "It" refers to the gerund, "Getting..." it's more natural to just take it out and put what amounts to the subject of the sentence (Getting accepted...) at the beginning. /does think about means consider. Doesn't mean anything. /it isn't think something carefully. Doesn't mean anything. /if you want to express you think something carefully, you should say think over it? Is getting close to meaning something, but what is unclear. I think this might be meant to be, "If oyu want to express that someone should carefully thing about something, you should say, "Think over it." are they correct? /I have thought about it./ I have considered it. Both of these work, and they mean essentially the same thing.

    /How to learn new words? How can I learn new words? Or How do you learn new words? I find my comprehension increases the fastest when I read in the language I'm trying to learn (Spanish), but I only really "learn" new words when I talk to people and use them in context.

    They all mean the same thing, however, "Ought to" is (generally) the most archaic and therefore the most formal, should is in between, and had better is the least formal (and should therefore probably only be used in informal settings). Hope this helps! Cheers.

    /what's the difference between "you've gotta be kidding" and "you R joking"? What's the difference between, "you've gotta be kidding" and, "you R joking"? (Make sure to capitalize the beginning of your sentences and put commas (,) before quotes of phrases/sentences.) "You've gotta be kidding" usually expresses exasperation, and often includes "me" so that it's, "You've gotta be kidding me!" Example: Bob had been expecting the homework to take an hour. He works for an hour and still isn't finished. He keeps working, after an hour and a half he looks through what he still has left to do and finds he's not even half done. In exasperation he exclaims, "You gotta be kidding me!" /"You R joking" I suspect this is meant to be, "You're joking!", ie, "You are joking." And expresses incredulity, that the speaker doesn't believe something that someone has just told them. Example: Jane: Bill just started dating Wendy Bob (for whom the news is a surprise): You're joking! Hope this helps! (and works in context xD) Cheers.
