    Hello! We use electrical for things related to electricity. E.g. Electrical generator --> a generator that produces electricity. Electric is used for devices or utilities that operates, or run on electricity. e.g. electric guitars, electric cars. Electronic is used for devices that are made up of many small parts, that manipulate the electric current internally, that are more 'technological' such as a computer, a smartphone etc. We can also use electronic for things that are traditionally physical. e.g. electronic book. I hope this is helpful!

InOn the other hand, the situation in North America is better,with a total percentage isof 5% and the percentage of land degraded by each above mentioned reason is lower than 4%.

    Hello!

    These two sentences indeed carry different meaning. 

    'Want to take a taxi?' is an invitation to ask somebody if they want to take a taxi or not. It might be a friend who is saying this, or the taxi driver. 

    'We'd better take a bus' is just another version of 'We had better take a bus ', where 'we had' is shortened into 'we'd'. 

    The formation of 'Had better (without to) infinitive' is used to give advice about a specific situation. Thus, in your example, the speaker is giving an advice or suggestion, instead of giving an invitation. 

    e.g. You'd better drink some water --> The speaker is advising 'you' to drink more water, so perhaps 'you' is looking very thirsty and exhausted

            Want to drink some water? --> The speaker is inviting 'you' to drink some water, so you can imagine the speaker might be handing out his water bottle to 'you'

    For the question of whether or not to use 'to' here, 'to' is in the first sentence because 'want to + verb' is used to express a desire of something.

    e.g. 'I want to go swimming'. 

    But! This only works when it's a verb. We don't use 'to' when it's a noun! 

    e.g. I want attention. 

    The second sentence does not employ 'to' as it's using the formation of 'had better + infinitive', so adding 'to' would break the formation. 


    Hope this helps!

    I see that you are surprised

    <em>'I see' and 'you are surprised' are two separate clauses -- so they should be connected by 'that'

    </em>

    But in my soul

    I'm a poet <em>

    Don't forget the article! Use 'a' when you are introducing something for the first time in a text and use 'the' when you want to refer to the same thing again later.

    </em>

    So I would like to present you <em>

    </em>

    My very good and little poem <em>

    You can put 'and' here and it would be grammatically correct -- but it is correct without 'and' as well

    </em>

    All children want<em> </em>to be more older <em>

    'Older' is already a comparative here, meaning that it already express the meaning of 'more' -- 'more' is not necessary here

    </em>

    And I'm notno exeption exception

    <em>

    You could either say 'I'm not an exception' or 'I'm no exception' -- the first one being more formal and grammatically correct and the second one being more similar to daily life language

    </em>But what means is growing up for me?

    <em>

    In a wh-question, the formation is always ' What do/does ...' if there is a verb in the rest of the sentence or 'What is/are...' otherwise.

    In this case, 'growing up' is a gerund so it acts as a noun instead of verb, so we use the formation of 'what is..'

    Similarly, we can say ' What does it mean to grow up for me?' because now 'mean' is not a gerund, so it acts as a verb.

    We cannot say ' What means growing up for me' because we have to use the formation of 'What do/does' or 'What is/are'.

    </em>It's my private position

    <em>This phrase is grammatically correct but i'm not quite sure what it means. Perhaps you could explain me more and I could help you to find a better alternative!

    </em>I hope this is helpful for you!
