Hello, everyone! I was just wondering if the expression “how are you bearing up?” was universally used in English. To be honest, I’ve only seen it once in a Cambridge textbook and never heard it used by native speakers. Don’t get me wrong, it is a great expression, which is closely related to what we say in Russian, it’s just that I’m worried that it is dated and not so commonly used these days. Thank you in advance!

A question for English students out there! With some controversial advice for you! Do you find the grammar "rules" related to "who" and "whom" rather difficult? Simplistically, "who" is the subject of the verb. It "does" the action. And whom is the object of the verb. It "receives" the action. 1. "Paul is an English teacher WHO is also an accountant." - Subject. Paul is an account. We replaced Paul with who. 2. "Paul has clients to WHOM he gives advice." - Object. The clients receive advice. Now - controversial point: Number 2 sounds ridiculously formal and natives almost never speak like this. Let the lawyers and royal family speak / write like this. As a learner of English, say this: "Paul has clients WHO he gives advice TO". See the changes?

My mom got me taken many places since I was a kid is that make sense?

What does "time marked the journey" mean? "It is the time that came in the boats. Time marked the journey—they started on a date and they arrived on a date: 26 January 1788. Time measures the push into tomorrow. Time was progress."
