You really can say both in any instance, as a response to something. If someone says "thank you", you would normally use "no problem", but on occasion some people will say "not a problem", but to me that sounds a bit too forced. In the case where you are talking about a specific thing or action, you should rather use "not a problem", referring to the thing you're talking about, like "maths was not a problem (for me)". But here also, you could say "maths was no problem (for me)".

The last one is most natural.

Day 3

Today is Thursday. Finally hot weather has arrived and we can wear t-shirts and shorts. I don't remember having such a cold May and beginning of June. I hope that it will not get cold again any time soon.
In the evening I'm going to meet with my friend, who I haven't seen in 2 years. She will come to my house and I already bought a lot of chocolates and cookies.

Diary; June 8th, Thursday

I went to Tokyo on a business trip. I stayed in Tokyo for 2 days, and attended the seminar with my colleague. I wanted to sleep during the seminar. Yesterday, I went to aJapanese restaurant with my colleague. My husband also joined. We ate and drank just a little bit there. But it was expensive. We paid 16,000 yen ($145) for 3 people. We parted ways with my colleague at the trainstation. My husband and I went to another restaurant. It was cheap. We paid 3,000 yen ($27) for 2 people.

Questions

Hi, there

Could you help me with a three questions? Please, this is pretty confusing to me


1) Let us say there is a stain on a wall. Do these sentences sound odd?

"There is a stain high up on this wall"
"There is a stain very low on this wall"
"There is a stain at the top of this wall"
"There is a stain at the bottom of this wall"

Are they all odd? They all sound fine, they all describe the location of the stain, but are slightly different.

2) Let us say you want to ask your child(inside the bathroom) if he/she could pass feces urine, , so you knock on the door and you say or "Could you go?".. "Are you able to go?"

What could you ask? "Were you able to go?"

And what could the child answer: "No, I couldn't go"?


Please, I really need help

Thank you very much!

Het woord "allez" wordt op een paar verschillende manieren gebruikt. Je kan het gebruiken als "kom op (nou)". Bijvoorbeeld: "Allez, we gaan naar buiten". ("Kom op, we gaan naar buiten"). Je kan het ook als een "filler" gebruiken met als betekenis "of, tenminste". Bijvoorbeeld: "Ik hou van de kleur blauw, allez, lichtblauw". Hoop dat het helpt! (edited English into Dutch, just realized your Dutch is totally good)

Hi Jaden. I have intended Inholland myself for a few years and in my personal experience it really wasn't a great school at all. The quality was alright, but the organization was very bad. If you are an exchange student, I wouldn't recommend going to a school that has a hard time organizing schedules and students. Fontys has a very good reputation and I have worked with many students from this university before; they are professional and much more organized than Inholland. I do know Saxion but my knowledge of this university doesn't reach far enough to give you a valid opinion. Good luck!

Hi Helen, you can certainly say it that way, although the use of "till now" vs. "until now" is much more informal.
