    Hi, If the phrase "why not" is followed by a verb, it's always followed by the "bare infinitive" (the infinitive without 'to'). For example: Why not swim in the sea? Why not go? Why not say it? I hope this helps.

    English

    Today, I'm practicing  (or I have practiced) my English with audiobooks. I like it because I'm starting to understand more and more. P.S. Guys, feel free to correct my errors. Constructive criticism is welcome.


    The first sentence is fine - using the present continuous shows that the action is happening now. You can also use the present perfect tense (I have practiced) as the period of time (today) is still continuing.  eg. 'Today, I have practiced my English with audiobooks.'

    In the second sentence 'it' is necessary as the sentence needs a noun or pronoun to act as the object. In your sentence, the pronoun 'it' represents practicing English.

    Your P.S. - I don't usually put a colon after P.S.  

    I hope this makes sense, and I hope you continue understanding more English. :-)

    Hi, Nico is correct. The verb "to prefer" can be followed by both the infinitive (to eat) or the -ing form of a verb (eating). Other verbs like this are "to like" or "to love" eg "I love swimming in the sea" and "I love to swim in the sea". Some verbs can only be followed by the infinitive: Want - I want to go shopping Need - He needs to earn some money Other verbs can only be followed by the -ing form of the verb: Stop - He stopped shouting Enjoy - I enjoy singing This page provides some more information: https://learnenglish.britishcouncil.org/beginner-grammar/verbs-followed-ing-or-infinitive-1 I hope this helps.

    Hi, in British English, we would only use "Anyway" - eg "Anyway, let's start this next week". I would never use "Either way", "Either ways" or "Anyways". This may be different in American English. I hope this helps :-)

    I would say "to which" instead of "for which". Otherwise, it looks good to me.

    Hi, 'compulsory alms' sounds strange to me.

    Firstly 'alms' is quite an old-fashioned word, and not often used in everyday speech. We usually talk about donations or charitable giving.

    Secondly, 'alms' is an old word for charitable giving, which is not usually compulsory - it is optional.

    I hope this helps. :-)
