    Don't forget to add "do" to questions in English. It would be... "What do we have to watch?" This grammar rule is tricky to explain, because I (and all native speakers) use it without thinking about the grammatical rules. But let me give it a shot - When you ask a question, and the verb is any verb other than "to be", always include "Do/Does/Did" in the PRESENT TENSE ONLY and BEFORE THAT VERB. Examples: "What DO we have to watch?" " When DOES your plane leave?" Now, we're talking about English, so let's explore the exceptions... "What ABOUT the others?" (Still a question, but there is no verb) When WILL he get here?" (Future tense, so DO is not used) What IS your name (The verb is TO BE so DO is not used) Next... TO HAVE is also a modal verb. Normally it means to possess or hold something, but we also use it as a modal verb to set off a perfect tense or certain past tenses (if that was too much grammar lingo, let me know and I'll explain it better). So... in conclusion. The sentence "Which movies to watch do we have" and similar constructions are technically correct, but no one would say that. I hope this helps:) If anything is unclear, just leave a comment and I'll take another shot at it.

    A "figure of speech" is a metaphor which quickly explains something such as an abstract concept or a piece of advice/warning. It's usually playful. The phrase "rhetorical device" is a way of describing the same thing, but sounds more academic. One would use "rhetorical device" in a research paper about linguistics, for example. But in everyday speech, you would say "It's a figure of speech." I hope this helps.

    This phrase means "meet the person and convince him to join the cult." The phrase could be interpreted as violent or not. It's left up to interpretation.

    The ears of this boy are large and look as though they would "flap" if the wind were blowing. To flap is an English verb for the waving motion of flexible, flat objects like flags or wings. The waving or undulating motion they make in the air is called flapping. Now, making this into an adjective, as in "flappy" is a common English practice, especially in informal speech to describe something ridiculous or comedic. It is strange that the speaker says " tiny, flappy ears," because normally this word is used with large ears that project away from the head, much like an elephant's ears.

    1. YES, THERE ARE OFFICIAL NAMES OF THE COLORS OF THE RAINBOW IN ENGLISH. YOU CAN REMEMBER THEM WITH THE NAME "ROY G. BIV." THEY STAND FOR RED, ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, BLUE, INDIGO (A DARKER SHADE OF BLUE) AND VIOLET (SOME PPL ALSO SAY "PURPLE") 2. IN THE CASE OF SCIENTIFIC DISCUSSIONS, HIT AND IMPACT ARE VERY SIMILAR AND CAN BE USED ALMOST INTERCHANGEABLY. SINCE THE TOPIC OF AN ASTEROID HITTING/IMPACTING THE EARTH IS SCIENTIFIC IN NATURE, BOTH WORDS SOUND VERY NATURAL. REMEMBER ALSO THAT IMPACT CAN ALSO BE A NOUN - "THE IMPACT OF THE ASTEROID" AS WELL AS "THE ASTEROID IMPACTED THE EARTH." HOPE THIS HELPS!

    Would you check this , please?

    Yesterday was my daughter's birthday. My family had a dinner together. My husband usually comes home at midnight due to his job, but yesterday he came home at six in the evening.My daughter was happy for that.
    After dinner, we ate a beautiful cake for her birthday. The cake was decorated with her favorite character.She loved that very much.


    No mistakes that I can see, except that "dinner" has a double N instead of a double E. 

    Congrats! :)

    Dejeme preguntar algo sobre la frase : "Carlos levanto' su negocio" ... significa que Carlos comenzo' una empresa o compan~ia? Entonces no usamos "to rise" ni "to raise" sino "to start". Si la frase significa que Carlos tiene exito con su empresa/negocios, etc. Normalmente usamos "to grow." Carlos GREW his business (en este case ingles trata el negocio como un arbol o una planta). Si quiere o debe usar los verbos rise/raise en esta situacion, suena mejor a hablar no tan directamente ... "Carlos' business rose in the last quarter." o "Carlos' business is rising in value." Espero que esto le ayuda.

    1) This depends on the context. The grammatically correct sentence for one door would be "keep away from the door's movement zone" whereas with multiple doors, it would be "Keep away from the doors' movement zone. However, in the case of warning signs, much of the wording has to be shortened, so you might see a more practical and shortened version such as "keep away from door movement zone". I hope this helps.
