Hello! I'm anamsc, and I'm from California, although I have lived in a few other countries, too. I am a native English speaker and have experience as a teacher and editor. I would love to help people learn English. I'm currently studying German intensively -- I would like to get to a C1 level by the end of 2013. I just started studying in April, though, so I'm not sure how feasible that is! I also have a very high level of Spanish (although I am still learning!). I can help people with Spanish, as I have studied Spanish linguistics and lived in different Spanish-speaking countries. I want to work on improving my Spanish, but that's not my main focus right now. I speak Catalan as well (~B2 level), and I am conversational in French. I'm still stuyding French off and on.

    "He were" and "she were" are examples of English subjunctive. This form most commonly shows up after "if" or the verb "wish." It basically expresses hypothetical situations. Some examples: He wishes he were a bit skinnier. If she were taller, she'd be able to reach the top shelf.

    You can use "can" for present tense, and "could" (a form of can) for past and conditional tenses. You can use "be able to" for all tenses. I would say it is a bit more formal in the present and past tenses, though. I think it more means "achieve" or "had the opportunity to" in these tenses.

    I don't think there are any differences. Both are somewhat formal, and they both have the same meaning, in my opinion.

    Yes, it basically means "How are you?" but the answers are different -- you can't say things like "good" or "okay". Usually people answer by saying "Nothing much. How about you?"

    the cold and rain are not bad

    there are people who like heat, but i hate it, in summer the only thing that makes me happy of him is the beach, beacuse i love the sea. But i I prefer the cold, the breeze, wind, fog, snow, all that is wonderful.
    My real weakness is the rain, last night it was raining and i opened the window, i like sleeping listening to how the drops of water fall, this sound is very relaxing, more when it´s cold, moreover the rain makes me melancholy, at the same time very happy and creative for writing something, or when i am listening music.

    Your English is very good!  Keep it up :).  But I disagree with you -- I only like the heat.  I hate cold and rain!
