Is it true that "how do you do?" means how are you in Canada?
I've only known this phrase as a formal greeting comparable to "nice to meet you" but I was told it means "how are you doing?" in Canada, is that correct?
What is the difference between "Have you eaten?" and "Did you eat?"?
For me, both phrases mean the same thing, I'm not sure if I'm right or not. And what about "I have made a cake for you" and "I made a cake for you"? Are they interchangeable? Knowing whether I should use perfect present or past simple is quite tricky for me.
What's difference between ing and in'?
At now i playing Persona 5 Royal in english for improve my knowledge. I always noticing thats "in'" in dialogs. What's difference? Btw, in' always sounds from one of rough characters.
Can I pronounce 'little' as in 'written'?
What i mean is the transition from t to n in written. Pronouncing n after a stop t without releasing the t. Another thing that i noticed was that 'hot n heavy' was pronounced in the same way.(Noticed while I was watching seinfeld) So I'm guessing 'hot and heavy'(with a flap t) becomes hot n heavy(t to n like in written) when it's said faster?
Why is there no "a" or "the" before host here? Isn't that a must? Or can one omit it in some cases?

Do such tasks make sense to natives? (the task is in the body text)
"Read the questions and answers a-e and choose which of the words (1 or 2) is stressed in the answers" There are keys below the task
“I need to go. I have something to do.” What words can we use here instead of “I have some to do” if we don’t want to specify the thing that we are going to do? Thanks.

It is correct to write "without tried it" or "without trying it" or "without having tried it"
Hi I am improving my writing and I got confused about if I must use one or another. The phrase is " I did not want to be the only one without tried it" so how I must I write the last part. Edit: thank you so much for all your help.
"I've been reading until you came" vs "i read until you've been coming"
Someone stops you while you were reading to ask you which book you've been into and then you reply: a) This one (pointing at the book itself) i've been reading until you came. b) This one (wiggling the book about) i read until you've been coming. Questions: Are there any subtle difference between these two options? I know "read" (past simple) naunces more the action now gone but this might as well have a more stress on why the action ended. Like being mad because of someone coming and crossing words. Do you agree?
