    American is an adjective for something (like if you were to say "an American company") and also a term for someone who lives in America. America's is saying that the country possesses something "America's presidential elections." Does that make sense?

    hat oder Habe? I have seen "Ich habe Schwester" on italki, but my teacher here would say "Ich hat Schwester." She says that this is an exception with haben that would not be there for a word such as gehen. Is this something that can be different in different reasons of Germany or is one way wrong? If so, is habe wrong or is hat wrong?

    How to Find a Perfect Hairdresser -capitalize words in titles as long as they are not articles such as a, the, etc.- I've been to dozens of hairdressers in my city. Basically they all have been visited by me.I know a little something about hairdressers,so I wanna tell you how to find a barber who's perfect for you. First of all,you gotta know whether we find a barber good or not largely depends on 3 aspects. They are cutting, modeling and perm. these are not proper nouns so do you do not capitalize them- A thing worth mentioning is that if you wanna be a master and get the high level of skill for each,you at least need spend 15 years. That means even if you have learned how to cut hair since you were 18, you would be at least 33 years old when you became a master. Now, we can see that the barber's ability is bound up with age. The first thing a person first learning to cut hair does is washing. Others call them assistants, actually they are handymen.-when you use "they" the subjects (such as handyman or assistant) need to be plural,too (such as handymen or assistants).- We judge them as fast as we can. Having learned the cutting for 2 yrs, modeling for 3 yrs, perm for 4 yrs means he needs to be 27yrs before having a well-rounded talent. All of the dates are based on hard work,if not,he would take longer Now, you know- -knew is a word for past "I used to know how to fish" as opposed to "I know how to fish now"- Now to find a good barber. Make sure you capitalize the first letter of every sentence. Also for my own curiosity can you explain what "modeling" is?

    It's not as meaningful as some of the others, but my favorite is "sardoodledom" it's an uncommon word meaning a mechanical or over-dramatic portrayal of a chracter, or a stereotypical, uninteresting plot. It originated from a French playwright. It's my favorite way to tell someone that he is over-acting.

    1. "Another mother and little girl" is singular because each would be singular if alone. 2.She should not be there. It works to say "They walk past another mother and little girl, who protectively moves behind her as the Scavos walk past." The sentence is not wrong technically at this point, but it would be better to specify who "who" is because it can end up being confusing if you don't.

    Pain is more like the feeling itself whereas painfulness is more like describing the feeling or having the feeling. The formal definition for painfulness would be "the state or quality of being painful, of causing pain." For example you can say- I am in pain.-or-The painfulness of reading that book is hard to exaggerate. It would be "eight points of happiness are gained." This is because the subject of the sentence is "points" which is plural. Hope this helps! -Amy
