He isn't / He's not
I'm an English learner in Korea, and my professor gave me a deduction for using 'he isn't' and 'he's not' in a same paragraph. Is there a difference in meaning? Is it a nuance thing? If there is one, I would love to know about it.
‘By car’ and ‘in the car’ aren’t always interchangeable, are they?
Hello everyone, Would 'by car' and 'in the car' be interchangeable in these sentences?  1. It takes me about 30 minutes **by car/in the car**. 2. It’s 20 minutes **by car/in the car**. 3. 15-20 minutes on foot or a few minutes **by car/ in the car**. 4. I go there **by car/in the car**. 5. The nearest grocery store is 3 minutes away **by car/in the car**. Thank you very much for your help!
I was asked where did I work out and I couldn't answer. What do I call this? It's not in private territory.
Yard? Sounds British. Outdoors?

Why is there a "to" in the last sentence? It sounds more natural to me without it

What would you call this drink? Is there a name for it in English? (it's made with dried fruits - apples, pears, raisins, apricots etc., + sugar and water, and you let it simmer for a little bit)

Why do you guys say "I eat the soup" in English instead of "I drink the soup"? even you can use glass for drinking soup.

Is it correct to say 'We've GONE skiing'? Or should it be 'We've BEEN skiing'?
Hello everyone, I heard a native speaker say 'We've GONE skiing, we've played in the snow' talking about the fun things they've done as a family in the winter. I know it's supposed to be 'We've been skiing' because 'We've gone skiing' means you're still skiing and are not back yet. I'm wondering if it's acceptable and common to use 'gone'. Thank you so much, wonderful people. I hope you're having a great day!
Do you have a word in English you just can’t pronounce right (and How Did You Fix It)?"
For me, it’s "thorough." Every time I try to say it, it ends up sounding like "throw" or something completely wrong. It’s tricky, but I’ve started practicing it in sentences to force myself to get it right. Turns out, repeating it in context helps me remember it better and expands my vocabulary too! What’s your word? One that trips you up every time but makes you want to master it? Share it here, maybe we can all learn a few new words along the way!
