The explanations involving prefixes are very helpful. I'm happy to see that your website has a lot of articles like that. I like all the practice things on your website from beginner to advanced. Keep up the good work

As I am not a Cebuano speaker I am not qualified to say this but here's what I noticed: Cebuano is a regional language so most Cebuanos speak it and one (or both) of the national languages: Tagalog and English. Similarly, in India, most Marathi speakers speak it in addition to Hindi and English, since those two are national languages. That's the norm so of course there are some monolingual Cebuano speakers and Marathi speakers, but the majority that I have met speak 3 languages

Dear Ms. Cross,

My name is Emma Mckagan and I am an international student in New Zeland. I am writing to you in connection with the start date of job in your local company which I have been offered.

Unfortunately, I am the bearer of bad news. I am not available to start my job on the 4th of March due to the fact that I will take an examination to finish my course (please state which course and highlight its importance). I am enormously determined to pass this important exam and as a result I need additional time in order to prepare. I would be significantly grateful if you could permit me to start my job one week later.

I am really interested in this working site and I would like to be dedicated to this job as soon as I will be available. If it would not be any inconvenience I could gratuitously spend a few day to cover the missing time(it seems rather extreme to promise a week of free labor but it's grammatically correct). In addition, I am planning to volunteer this summer and I could promote your company on a higher scale among young people.

I hope you understand my awkward situation and accept my suggested solution. Thank you in advance for your considering my request.
(your most common mistake seems to be forgetting to use the word "the")
Yours sincerely,

Emma Mckagan

You should read it as "5 time" even though it says "5x". It means he was the featured/best analyst at the meeting 5 times. If it's an adjective then 5x is 5 time but if it's a noun then 5x is 5 times

Had is correct. His presence there in the past happened before you thought about it. I think that Spanish and French also have past perfect and use similar methods thought=first event had been here=second event

Migrants go back to their original home eventually and and immigrants live in the new location permanently. We say that birds migrate south for the Winter because they will eventually return.
