    Hi Daniel Yes, both are correct, and both sound natural. Personally, I would use the former though.

    I’m thankful for my daughter, having good health at this moment/time, a plate of food and a house.

    The short answer is "the scene of the fire". Blazing will refer to something that is on fire.

    This was an interesting question from a teacher's perspective especially. I'm looking forward to seeing how other students respond. Thanks for posing the question.

    The 1st and 3rd sentences are perfect, whilst the 2nd is still perfectly acceptable, but more so in the right context. Example: A parent asking a child, "We are very upset. Why didn't you tell us what happened at school today?"... And the child's answer could be "No one ever asked me to tell what happened."

    I agree with Steve. Obviously, it does also depend a lot on the individual student's ability, but to place it in perspective, here in South Africa for example it is not uncommon for our children to be learning three languages at once whilst still in school (i.e. English, Afrikaans, French and one of the native South African languages e.g. Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, etc.)

    In my opinion "The road around my home will narrow" is acceptable in the context you mentioned. Consider the following sentence if the road were to widen... "The road around my home will widen". In this sense, the opposite of widen is narrow. It is therefore grammatically correct.

    Phrases from my work emails and chats I'm unsure of a proper use of some words

    The pieces I'm unsure are marked with ** below, | symbol splits the variants I'm thinking can be used

    I'm working **on | with** the issue/ticket/problem
    **Did | Made | I've done** changes **on | to** the ticket
    **Did | Made | I've done** changes **to | at** code
    **Can | Could** you please ...
    Minor adoptions to **the | (no article)** address form fields

    I'm working on the problem / I'm working on the problem regarding the ticket / I'm working on the problem with the ticket

    I've made changes to the ticket / I've made changes on the ticket (both are acceptable)
