I know many phrases have similar meanings, like be good at, be adept at, excel at, be expert in, do well in Does it sound natural if I say " He is adept at writing."? Or is it better to be used in written language? Is it the same as "He is good at writing."?

Is it correct and does it sound natural? Her father teached her how to ride a bike. I didn’t have a bike, so I also wanted to have a bike Or how can I say better?(without repeating “have a bike” twice 🙈

English students! Can you pronounce big, bog, beg bag, beg in American English? Have you ever had a native English speaker from the United States judge your pronunciation when you speak? Have you ever had one of them give you corrections and help you improve your pronunciation so you can sound clear and completely understandable to a native English speaker? Have you had a tutoring lesson from a native English speaker from the United States? Have you checked out my tutor profile and booked a lesson yet?

Good morning, If any native Mandarin speakers want to practice their English with a native American English speaker, I’m available and have WeChat. I might also bug you to help with Mandarin eventually (I get sidetracked often—I’m trying to learn the Amharic alphabet right now). So basically I can help you a bunch in return for not needing a ton of help myself (right now at least, I’d love to become conversational in Mandarin eventually). I’m engaged, so you don’t have to worry about me being a creepy stranger looking for a Chinese girlfriend or whatever lol. Men and women are cool—just looking for some causal friends. Thanks, Damien.

How well do you know your English tenses?
