    In at least my dialect it's a flap like the R, but moved to the teeth. IPA transcription is [ɾ̪]. This only occurs intervocalically: VdV where d is a dental stop.

    Both look right to me. "Are saying" because the poster will probably make more replies, so they're not done talking. "Said" because you're referring to something immediately preceding in time.

    This is the main flaw of English, it forces you to drown in modal verbs to get the meaning accross. Going to do = future tense, AORIST ASPECT. It's the same aspect as the simple form "I do," just shifted into the future (会__(no particle)) Going to be doing = future tense, IMPERFECTIVE ASPECT. It's a continuous action in the future (会__着).

    Both are used, but have different usages. "Clarify the details" makes perfect sense in both high-register and spoken vernacular English. "Make sure the details" is not grammatically correct in either, as "make sure" must take either a complementary infinitive "I want to make sure to not miss anything in the survey" or a relative clause "I want to make sure that no details are missed." However, "make sure *of* the details" is correct in spoken vernacular. It is, as you suspected, frowned upon in the high register.

    Prescriptivist grammar reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

    Correct grammar is what native speakers actually say, so all of those are correct - they just don't appear in the high register. Instead of saying "abomination," say "non-standard spelling derived from a pronunciation spelling of would've, from elision of would + have."

    Thank you for listening, and don't correct a native speaker's grammar because they're always right by definition.

    Both sentences are okay. The first has a singular "you." (Did you[, one single person,] have any children with her?) The second has a plural/dual "you." (Did you [two] have any children together?) So in some dialects of English you might use different pronouns for the two sentences. But in the "high register" - the written standard for formal writing - as well as in the largest spoken dialects (General American, Received Pronunciation, Hibernian, etc.) the two are both correct.

    "Loro viejo no aprende a hablar". I'm not sure about that!

    Hello. My name is Alicia. I'm 46 years old. I'd like to learn English, but the English is dificult for me, more now because I think i'm [a bit?/too?] old for that. In my country the people say: "Loro viejo no aprende a hablar" or, in the same way: "You can't teacher an old dog new tricks". For a long time I thought I hated the English, but now I feel diferent. I really want to speak English, and to understand when people speak to me in English . It's a challenge for me. I need some people for practice. Can you help me?
