Hi, I'm 19 and english is my native language. I'm a college student interested in being a French major, and I'd really like to work on my accent. I think I'd be good at teaching/helping someone practice English. I'd be willing to discuss whatever. Bonjour, j'ai 19 ans et l'anglais est ma langue natale. Je veux travailler sur mon accent. Je suis étudiante dont la concentration sera le français! Je pense pouvoir enseigner/aider quelqu'un à travailler sur l'anglais! Je peux parler de n'importe quoi.

    I can just give some examples... 1. Some time = amount of time I spent some time in Africa last year. She took my pen some time ago. We're asking for some time to go outside. 2. Sometime = unspecified/unknown time Hey, we should talk sometime. I left sometime before eight. 3. Some times - very uncommon There were some times of the day that I would always feel hungry. 4. Sometimes = occasionally Sometimes I like to walk to school. She can be so forgetful sometimes.

    1. That sentence really doesn't make sense (with or without the 'a'), unless they're saying that there's pie that comes in a piece? Otherwise, yes your instinct is correct, adding the 'a' is better. 2. You could technically say 'the stand still' if there was more of a context, but really if you say 'the stand still' it sounds like a place. "Stand still" is most commonly used in sentences like: "They came to a stand still." and in sentences such as these you would never say the stand still. 3. Heir gets an article because it is a noun, and it is furthermore a very tangible noun. Meanwhile, their is a possessive adjective, and adjectives do not get articles.

    There's only a slight difference between must and have to, and so the two can be used interchangeably. If you really want a detailed understanding of the two, then it is commonly said that 'have to' often expresses an obligation that comes from the outside, while 'must' expresses an obligation that comes from the speaker's feelings and wishes. For example: I must go on a diet, because I feel that I should. I have to go on a diet, because the doctor said so. Must you wear all black all the time? (implies that it is the personal choice of the person wearing all black) Do you have to wear all black all the time? (implies that there is a rule that the person must wear all black)

    Speaking English fluently will make me more confident and this is my goal, I believe that I can accomplish it and have a good career.

    I wasn't sure if the last part is what you meant to say, hope it's alright!

    Cell phone is American slang for the portable/mobile phone. Generally in America, the phrase 'cell phone' is most commonly used (I rarely hear anyone say mobile phone unless maybe in a commercial), while apparently 'mobile phone' is used commonly in Europe.

    There's really no difference between sum and amount, and so you could technically use either. Unfortunately one might sound more awkward than the other, depending on the context. I would say that sum has more of a mathematical implication to it, while amount is more general. For example, here they are in various contexts: The amount of money I spent yesterday was embarrassing. We divided the sum of money between the three of us.

    Pour dire que des gens se respectent, est-ce qu'on dit qu'ils respectent les uns les autres?

    I am very bad at English, but I would like to learn.

    ^^ That's harsh on yourself! Instead: I don't speak English very well, but I would like to learn.
