- Probably "choose tomatoes". When you talk about "picking" fruit, berries, etc, it typically implies the action of taking them off of the tree or bush. So, if someone told me they were "picking tomatoes", I would assume they are picking the tomatoes off of the tomato plant. Here are some options you could use. "I need to get some tomatoes." "I need to buy some tomatoes." "I need to pick up some tomatoes." "I need to pick out some tomatoes." ("To pick out" something means "to make a selection from the options").0 votedMarch 8, 20231
- All three words are often used to describe something that causes death or is likely to cause death. However, there are subtle differences in their meanings: - "Deadly" often refers to something that is capable of causing death, but not necessarily certain to do so. For example, a "deadly disease" is one that has the potential to cause death, but not every case of the disease results in death. - "Mortal" is typically used to describe something that is certain to cause death. For instance, a "mortal wound" is one that will inevitably result in death. - "Fatal" is similar to "mortal", (you could also say a "fatal wound" which means the same as above) but it can also be used more broadly to refer to something that has major or disastrous consequences, whether or not those consequences involve physical death. For example, a fatal error in a computer program may cause the program to crash, but it doesn't necessarily result in actual death. Overall, these words are very similar and more practice will help you understand the nuances.0 votedMarch 6, 20231
Hey! I'm French and I want to improve my English! I'm 15.
I am learning English because I want to study abroad, work in the USA or make friends from the USA.
My native language is French, and (I grew up in English. I grew up in England. or I grew up speaking English. I'm not sure which one you meant ;))
I enjoy music, cinema movies (more common in the USA) and trips and many other things!!! ;)0 votedMarch 12, 20130- Subject-Verb agreement is the how you conjugate the verb. Here is examples. the verb "to walk" would be conjugated like the following: "I walk" "You walk" "He/She/It walks" "We walk" "They walk" The subject is the fist part and the conjugation of the verb must agree with the subject you are using. So, I couldn't say "I walks to work everyday" because the conjugated form "walks" can only be used with the subject "He/She/It" I hope this helps! :)0 votedFebruary 11, 20131
Dear America (English homework if someone could correct me please)
Dear America,
Overweight Nation,
Today you are today facing a growing problem called obesity.
More and more people, and particularly teenagers, are getting fat.
Do you realize that one in four American adolescents is obese and that 66% is the percentage of Americans who are categorized as overweight?
You could say [that] this these are only numbers, but these numbers are the reflecion of the reality.
I'm i am telling you that this today, is not because I want Americans get slim or look like [a] Top Model, no, today I just want to tell you that I really care about your health. (thank you!)
Too much many people die because they are too fat. But today you can change it that. (Very true)
Everything Anything is possible if you really want it.
I admit that it is important to savor what we have in on our plate, but do you really enjoy eating food that maybe taste good in your mouth but that is dramatically bad for your body?
Listen to me, you should to stop [eating] junk food! Believe me, the more you'll eat vegetables, the more you'll enjoy it.
I know it's easy for me to tell you it this, but the reality is more complicated, however never forget that you are not alone, we are a nation, and I'll do my best for so that our country sees the percentage of people categorized as overweight decrease.
Do sports, eat more fruits and vegetables and [going] on a diet won't be necessary for you!
We can change our the way to we eat and consume .
Never forget it that when you eat a Big Mac with fries, you eat 1204 calories while, for the same calories, you could eat 60 kilos of tomatoes. (Keep in mind that in America, we measure in lbs. 60kg = 132lbs. :) )
Delphine, responsible of for United States Department of Health and Human Services.Overall, this was very well written and I enjoyed it. Thank you for your concern! :) I, too, have a concern for my own county's well being.
I know you posted this a while ago, but I hope you still find this helpful.

This is an older style of speaking that is rarely heard in your everyday conversations. So, I would say that the better choice would be to say "don't need to do".0 votedMay 1, 20120
