"Do you hear that?" works as a simple question, asking whether someone can physically hear the guitar or whether they have noticed the sound of the guitar, but it would also require the word "that" to sound correct. I think that would be the most common way to express this idea. ("Do you hear?" without the word "that" would usually be used only if you were wondering whether someone might be deaf in general.) I think you could also say "Are you hearing that? John is playing the guitar!" and it would sound natural, at least to this American tutor, depending on context. The context in this usage would be an implied sense of doubt, surprise, or disbelief. For example, if John had once been a great guitarist but had refused to play for years, then suddenly started playing. The word "this" is necessary though - you would not say "Are you hearing? John is playing the guitar!"

Many people might consider them similar, but I do think there is a subtle difference. Sparkling implies multiple little flashes of light, while a glint can be a single flash of light, or a brief indication, as in "I was about to abandon the search for my lost ring last night when I saw a glint of reflected light out of the corner of my eye." Hope that's helpful!

Where is "drive faster than I do"? ;-)

I would echo that the most natural and common version of what you are saying is "My mom took me to many places when I was a kid." You would use "took me" if your mom is the one doing the action (the taking), and you would say "when" since you are referring to an earlier time and you are no longer "a kid."

This question is about parallel structure. Since the second half of the sentence is "I've decided," contracted from "I have decided," the first half must parallel the same tense. (There is nothing wrong with "I am thinking about what you said" if that is the whole sentence. But to use that as the first half in this example, the whole sentence would have to be "I am thinking about what you said and I will decide whether to take your advice" or "I am thinking about what you said and I and deciding whether to take your advice.") Hope it helps! By the way, though I am not a teacher on Italki, I do teach advanced grammar to native English speakers!

I want English to be the primary language I use on a daily basis. How to say it better? Hope it helps!

I think the answer here might depend on what country you're in!

Could you help me to correct this? Thank youuu A beautiful dress and a magical experience Yesterday I went to the city centre to buy a dress for a wedding. First I went to Zara and I bought an elegant electric blue dress and a coat. Next I went to Atelier Emé and I bought a baby blue bridesmaid's dress and some accessories (a shiny circlet and a baby blue one). I really relished the experience at Atelier Emé. There, I could try on long fairy-tale dresses and I bought one of my favourites because of its discounted price. It was very easy to find one with the features I liked most because Atelier Emé features many styles and high-quality materials such as silk, chiffon, and tulle. This afternoon I went to the hairdresser to get prepared for tomorrow's wedding. I am now ready to celebrate the everlasting love story of the bride and groom. It will be moving and unforgettable. Hope it helps! I changed "spouses" in the last paragraph because although I think you could say it that way, it felt unnatural to me to refer to the currently unmarried couple as spouses. #HelpMeCorrect thank you 🙏🏻
