Hi there! I hope you're all doing great. What is the difference between coast and coastline? I know the actual meaning of the words but I don't know the difference between them.

¿What's the difference between smart, clever, intelligent and bright?

Is it ok if I use "that" in the following sentences? He promised he that he will come tomorrow / He promised he will come tomorrow I think that he is crazy / I think he is crazy

Big fire in Valparaiso Guys, a giant fire has destroyed a big part of my city, Valparaiso, Chile. Fortunately neither I nor my family and friends were affected, but I'm in a huge pain and sadness because of the thousands of people that have lost not just their houses but everything that was inside them. An entire life of effort and sacrifice destroyed in just a few minutes. The blaze has killed 12 people, injured 500, destroyed 2,000 homes and forced 10,000 people to evacuate. The fire stopped last night and it lasted 3 days. Everyone who has not been affected is helping, removing rubble, rescuing pets (I have found lots of burned dogs and carried them to the volunteer vets) there are many others collecting clothes, food, bottled water, etc. It's amazing how everybody wants to help, I know that we're going to forge ahead, I'm helping every day in whatever I can to restore hope and happiness in my people. If you come up with an idea to help from your countries please contact me, all kinds of help are very welcome, here are some pictures of this tragedy. Thank you to all the italki community, I know that you're very generous and you will come up with some ideas to help. Mail: [email protected] Facebook: Nico polaris

Ing use Yesterday a friend told me: "I saw a bird fly over me". Then I couldn't stop thinking what's the difference between saying: I saw a bird fly over me and I saw a bird flying over me Is it related to the intention of the bird? Is there no difference at all? Can you help me with that? Thank you all!
