Muy buen trabajo Natalie, eres una persona muy disciplinada y te gusta aprender, eso te motiva a dar lo mejor de ti. Hoy fue una excelente experiencia para empezar, pudimos hablar, escuchar palabras y frases básicas en Español eso ya es muy bueno. Puedes hablar y tienes habilidad de entender lo que es muy bueno. Yo se que con mucha practica vas a mejorar más y más. :)

    Mahdieh is correct that they are all synonyms. I would have said that "delicious" is more formal than "tasty. " I think "delicious" is also a little bit stronger word in expressing how good the food is. So I would likely either say, "This is delicious" or "This is very tasty!" Really, either would be appropriate in more formal settings in the U.S. For an even more formal and stronger word, you could use "delectable." "Yummy" is the first word little children learn for something they like to eat. In the preschooler show Daniel Tiger, the little cat character says food is "Yum, yum, yummy to my tum, tum, tummy!" But people in the U.S. also use it casually between good friends. For example, if a friend brings some homemade cookies to my house, I would feel perfectly comfortable saying, "Looks yummy!" But I wouldn't feel comfortable using the word "yummy" in a job interview or a banquet.

    Hi Khaled, You could say this in a casual conversation in the USA, and people would completely understand you. In formal writing, you should use the sentence in the previous answer to your question. The biggest problems in this written sentence is that "in" is not capitalized at the beginning of your sentence and "Few" should not be capitalized.

    Hi Icespirit! The answer "I like them very much" is correct, but it would not be correct to say "I like it very much" because "it" is singular and "days" is a plural word. word If the question was "Do you like a rainy day" or "Do you like this rainy day", it would be correct to say, "I like it very much" because then the word "day" is singular, and its pronoun "it" is also singular.

    Hi Icespirit! The question and answer you have above is correct, but it would not be correct to say "I like it very much." The reason "it" is incorrect is because you asked about "days," which is a plural word. The word "it" is singular. If the question was "Do you like a rainy day" or "Do you like this rainy day", it would be correct to say, "I like it very much" because then the word "day" is singular, and its pronoun "it" is also singular.

    Hi Ester!

    I'm from the United States, and I am a native English speaker. I'm afraid I can't tackle all of these at once, but I'll discuss a few.

    1) This sentence is technically correct, but it doesn't sound natural. A native speaker would say, "This week's tax bill is really expensive."
    2) This sentence also sounds unnatural. A native would say, "He will pay for all the pain he caused by dealing drugs."
    3) This one is both correct and sounds natural. Great work!
    4) This one is almost perfect. You need a "the" before "European economy" to sound like a native.
    5) Even though I'm a native speaker, finances aren't my field. So I can't guarantee you that the phrase you have in bold is exactly how a native speaker would say it, but I do think they would totally understand you. The only part of the sentence that sounds strange to me is when you say "I got wrong." A native would say, "I got it wrong."
    6) This sounds almost perfect, but I think you should put an "a" before your 10 million, like this "We made a $10 million profit."
    7) This is correct!
    8) This sounds like a native, but you could have even better writing style if you moved your "with a market value" phrase BEFORE the subject Apple instead of after it.

    I hope this helps! You're doing an awesome job!

    Hi Alexey! I am from the USA, and I used the phrase “it goes without saying” just the other day. :) All the examples you have above would sound natural. When speaking the other day, I think I phrased it like this, “Sam is talented, but that goes without saying.”

    Well done with your careful study of English and its nuances!
