Hi I am Karianna, I am a native English speaker. I would love to practice my Japanese and help others improve their English as well! I have been a Teacher's Aid for American Sign Language (ASL), so I have experience with teaching others a new language. I am friendly, patient, and excited about learning a new language! I have been learning Hirigana and Katakana for a year, and want to practice my spoken language skills. I would love to hopefully visit Japan in a year or two!

    Both sentences mean the exact same thing. I would say the difference is in what the focal point is when you start off the sentence. In the first sentence, "I'll put my warm coat / on" you are talking about doing something to or with your coat. You put it "on" rather than in a closet, or on a hanger. In the second sentence, "I'll put on / my warm coat" you are starting the sentence focusing on you and what you are doing. you put on a coat, rather than a blanket or a hat. or even "I'll put.." the heater on, etc. Hope that helps!

    Both can mean the same thing. The only difference would be that spare time implies you are always busy, and you only have a little bit of time to spare to do something. Free times implies you have a bit more time on your hands, maybe larger chunks of time that you can do more things, or that you can enjoy doing something more.

    I would say for the middle sentence, grammatically "Who was writing the book?" would be more accurate. This sentence is good, but works best when asking in a specific context. However if you are just asking students who the author is, you'd put "Who wrote this book?" "Who has written this book?" is also okay to ask, but "who wrote" is best.

    So, there is that great music, one of my favorite, that is Hook from Blues Traveler.
    The chorus goes like this, "The hook brings you back. I ain't telling you no lie".
    I've learned that, in English, you should never use double negatives like, "I don't know nobody". Instead, you should say "I don't know anybody". But, in lyrics, you have this poetic license that gives you the right to write anything and doesn't care about grammar. So this is one of this cases? Or it is correct to say "I ain't telling you no lie"?
    Thanks in advance.
