I don’t usually catch the last few words of the sentence when native speaker talks
for example I can catch phrases or first few word like “Do you think” or “I don’t like” but I find it very difficult to understand the sentences and words following up to those phrase since most of the native speaker doesn’t pronounce clearly. What kind of practice i can do to be able to make out that? I’m afraid that I couldn’t think of any good examples for this but hopefully yall get what i want to say.
Is this true?
I feel like a strong background feels a bit off. Is there a better approach? For context, it’s for a junior high interview and that paragraph is supposed to show he is great at lego building and even won a prize with that. Accepting any criticism if thats a stupid question 🥲 English is not my mother tongue
Would this be a correct use of the word comprise?
> I should mention that this show requires attention to the screen since it comprises important moments that won’t be spelled out with words. My aim is for the verb to emphasize that it’s inextricable part of the story and not just something that is included.

Does he say “and he sort of haven said I didn't think I'd dare”? It sounds like “haven” but it doesn’t make sense.

Do you use ChatGPT to learn English?
Hey everyone! I’ve been curious—has anyone here been using ChatGPT or other Large Language Model apps to learn or practice English? It seems like a pretty handy tool for improving writing and grammar skills. Plus, it’s available anytime, which is great for busy schedules. Personally, I’ve been trying it out, and here’s what I’ve noticed so far: 1. **Grammar Help:** If I’m unsure about my sentence structure, ChatGPT explains it clearly and offers corrections. 2. **Vocabulary Expansion:** I can ask it to suggest synonyms or more natural phrases, which helps me sound more fluent. 3. **Custom Exercises:** I can ask it to create quizzes or scenarios tailored to what I want to practice, like idioms, phrasal verbs, or even formal emails. That said, I sometimes wonder how accurate its advice is, especially for slang or cultural nuances. Has anyone experienced that? I’d love to hear your experiences!
Could you correct my words? I really want to speak english fluently
Q : Have you ever been part of an event or project that you never expected to be involved in? What was it and what was your role? Occasionally, I guided factory tours for foreigners along with an interpreter. I had a tour scheduled, but it wasn't until today that I knew the interpreter could not come. I should have studied English hard. It was difficult at first and took some time, but once I got used to guiding tour without an interpreter. It wasn't that hard.
weird structure/order with confusing negatives
so im a native speaker but today i was reading something for class and noticed a lot of old-sounding (potentially archaic or reserved for intellectual literature) syntax, for lack of a better word. > image 1: "he was home but little" this seems like it's saying "he was home (all the time) except for little (= sometimes)" but the contact suggests that he was often *not* home, and rarely was. > image 2: "... his not playing there" as i understand it, "(not) playing there" is treated as a noun in this structure? how does that work? > image 3: "... little old, bent, withered figure..." the lack of a comma between "little" and "old" is confusing me. is one of them acting as an adverb for the other adjective? > image 4: "when is it to be mine?" shouldn't it say "when is it *going* to be mine" instead? > image 5: "the most sluggish of pulses" why is the word "of" included here? wouldn't the sentence be correct without it?
