    A good tip for learners of English is "if you can't see it, you can't i-n-g it!". This means that any verb which you cannot see someone doing cannot be used in a continuous tense. For example, you cannot say "he is having two brothers" because you cannot see this just by looking at this guy. Also, you cannot say "I am wanting something" because I cannot see you want it. It is the same for every continuous tense.

    Language learning tip: When 'have' is an auxiliary verb (not the main verb), it is always followed by a past participle. This tip will help you in the Cambridge exams. Some examples: I have eaten my dinner. She has got two sisters. I might have known you would call! I will have been to Paris before I turn 25. She has been waiting for 3 hours. It was nice to have met her. Having said that…

    The first one isn't used in normal conversation. The second one should be: "A baby is a source of joy" - it would be okay then. The third one is fine and normally used.

    I guess, if you work in a family business, you can be more confident due to managing it, and the gains received from it, but, on the other hand, some members could be more relaxed and it could be a problem for the company. However, some members' hard work doesn't always achieve good results. In a family business, it is important to mix neither the relationship nor the confidence. It is important to know that independent of the family it is a company; otherwise, everyone should be treated as an employee due to their position.

    Let someone down means to disappoint someone. Bring someone down means to ruin their happy mood. Usually, this is by telling them some bad news. Bum someone out is kinda like 'bring someone down' but more informal. Again, it suggests ruining the mood.

    It is better to say: It's easy to fulfill a kid's wishes. It's easy to satisfy a kid's needs. For happiness/joy, I would say: It's easy to maintain a kid's happiness/joy. But there are other constructions possible. Normally, happiness and joy are things that you 'have' because they are nouns. I hope this helps!

    If I could choose, I would choose New Zealand. If I was younger, I would get on a ship and sail to New Zealand. If I had more money, I would book the ticket to New Zealand right now. If I was a gull, I would fly to New Zealand. If I could ask God where I could be born, I would ask him to be born in New Zealand.

    The difference is usually that past simple is a finished action in the past, whereas present perfect is an action which happened in the past but has some result in the present. Past simple does not have a present result. Compare: "I have eaten" = I am not hungry now because I have eaten. "I ate." = just information. We have no idea if this person is hungry now or not. Hope this helps!

    The third one: "Our visit is less than three hours’ drive." is correct. The 'drive' belongs to the 'three hours' so it is possessive. Because 'three hours' is plural, the apostrophe goes after the 's'. It is also possible to use the hyphenated phrase 'three-hour' as an adjective, but then it must be: "Our visit is less than a three-hour’ drive".
