early / earlier ? Hi everyone, I text my friend this message: "Ok, never mind. But next time text me earlier. See you this afternoon" My question is: should I use early or earlier in the sentence? Maybe both are good. Because he sent me a message too late for a change. Thanks Claudio

"Est-ce que je ressemble vraiment aux filles d'autrefois" I'm reading a comic, the protagonist is a girl in her first day in high school. My best attempt to traduce the sentence is this one: Do I really look like to girls of yesteryear? Don't know, it simply doesn't sound good. Thank you

What happen if I click on "There was a problem"? After a missed scheduled lesson what happen if I click on "There was a problem" in the feedback page? Simply the session is cancelled or my teacher or me (the student) will get a negative feedback? I don't want anything wrong. Thank you very much

The final date is January, 30th! Bye

Gerund or Infinitive? Are there general rules about this difference? When should I use a gerund form or an infinitive form? Thank you very much

What's the meaning of "to what end?"

Stuck in his craw Hi everyone, I'm studying English by watching Numb3rs episodes and reading subtitles I found on internet. The written could be NOT accurate. For who knows the series, who is speaking is Charlie's brother. "I mean, I really don't think it's murder, but Charlie's got something stuck in his craw and he's done right by us, so..." So, what's the meaning of "stuck in his craw"? Thank you very much

I felt that down to my toes! I completed a riddle in a game and that was what my character said. What is the meaning? Thank you

Learn English by speaking - the neverending story Back from a holiday in the USA, I'm motivated to study hard the language. But I can't find the right way. A skype classroom where a teacher explains or talk with students I think it's too expensive if I give a look to the resources I find in internet. On the other way, get a language partner here, for example, in italki could be a solution but another problem arise: what to speak about? (it's isn't a so fooling question, for me) So, I think the best way is to speak English when playing. I explain. If I play an RPG online (it's a game where you control a character in a virtual world, in which there are other characters controlled by other player around the world) WE have a clear purpose: gain money, kill a strong monster, complete quests, and so forth. So we speak English focusing on our clear purpose. I currently play runescape to get more confident with vocabulary and reading (because to complete quests you have to understand clearly what bots tell you). Are there any other runescape player? We could do such experience in the way I wrote. Otherwise, do you agree with my doubt and my idea?
