Native speakers, do you need to recite anything growing up
Hi, I recently started to recite excerpts or good articles or speeches. I wonder is that something you do when you were in school? Is that helpful to learn the language?
why does "co" sometimes make a ka sound and sometimes a ko
words like : coconut,coca cola, corpse,colt,corn make a ko sound when pronounced but these words its pronounced ka: cob,cog,count,cop,con "conduct" can be said with ke sound and a ko sound and it changes its meaning
“Didn’t you go to the party last night?” Which response is correct ? Would it cause confusion if I only said “yes” or “no”?
1. No, I did. 2. No, I didn’t. 3. Yes, I did. 4. Yes. I didn’t.
"Parents paid for my college" meaning
If someone tells you that their parents paid for their college degree, do you assume that their parents paid money out of savings/cashflowed the tuition, or that their parents took out thousands in debt for their child under their name, so they pay off the student loans for years later instead of their child? Which one is more likely, since no one seems to clarify which one.
Is it correct?
Is it correct to say "The recipe serves 2-4 slices"? I mostly see "the recipe serves 1/2/3 people"
Is singular they correct?

How is it called when someone takes your turn?
For example, you are standing in line somewhere and a desk/counter frees, so now it’s your turn, but the person next to you goes to the desk instead of you. Is there a word for this?
