    Mine vaganti

    Ho visto un film molto interessante. Si chiama "Mine Vaganti". È un film italiano e racconta la storia di un ragazzo che ritorna a casa dei suoi per dire alla sua ("sua" o anche "propria", se preferisci) famiglia della sua (magari "propria" lo puoi usare qui per evitare una ripetizione della stessa parola di sopra, cioè "sua") omossessualità. Ci sono alcune scene molti divertenti.


    Really good!  ;)

    I'm fond of everything concerning art and social relations.
    My interests include reading classical literature, psychology and sociology handbooks, watching classical movies, listening to music, dancing, hiking and cooking.
    I like making myself useful collaborating with charities.

    I don't think the "best answer" to be that correct. Provided that both "so tall as" and "as tall as" are correct as long as we are discussing negative forms, you can say either: She is not so/as tall as ME. or She is not so/as tall as I AM. No other construction is allowed as far as I know. Just because the third form provided is used in everyday life, doesn't mean you have to learn from mistakes.

    Since plenty of grammar tips have already been shed, I'll try to avoid any grammar rule and go straight to the point. The verb "to have" presents a double construction. I have got -> Have you got? I have -> Do you have? Therefore the answer is correct, because you can use the verb as an auxiliary of "to have". Nonetheless I think that the text is incorrect because, since it doesn't present the "have got" structure, the question tag shoud have been "do you?". First option: - You really have GOT a terrible memory, haven´t you GOT? - Yes, I have got. Once I forgot.... Second option: - You really have a terrible memory, don't you? - Yes, I do. Once I forgot....

    If you want to express that your fridge laks both yoghurt and butter, then the best choise is the one already suggested by Julia: "there's neither butter nor joghurt in the fridge". Then again, if you want to express that you just need one of them, I can use two forms: either "there isn't any butter" or "there is no butter". To cope with it, just think of "no" as a short form for "not any". It is a general rule worth learning, as it works this way in any case: "not anything -> nothing", "not anywhere -> nowhere".

    Although they can be both used with the same meaning, I suggest that you use them for different tasks. "I don't mind" is used when you want to express that it doesn't matter. Example: - Oh, I'm so sorry... - No, take it easy, it's not a problem, I don't mind. On the other hand, "I don't care" expresses your complete lack of interest for something. Example: - You can't leave me alone, I love you. - I don't care about you and your feelings. I'll bid you farewell.
