When you're struggling to find the right words to describe something

Hi guys! ^ ^

 

I just wanted to recommend a useful site for whenever you're struggling to find the right words to describe something: 

http://describingwords.net

While it's not flawless, it really does help when you're in need of a few adjectives or brain storming for new ideas.

 

Hope it helps, I stumbled on it a while back and I've been using it lately!

English idioms Some of my favourite english idioms that I never get to use: ------------------------------------------ day in and day out / week in and week out - doing an activity every week, week after week; usually implies loyalty and a sense of hardship related to it My training took a long time; I had to train week in and week out for six months. ------------------------------------------ to throw spaghetti on the wall - a trial and error method/ to try something to see if it works or not We never know the results of the trade before it happens so it feels like throwing spaghetti against the wall. ----------------------------------------- nip it in the bud (idiom) - to end something before it develops into something larger Renting a car was too expensive, so the whole idea was nipped in the bud.

To です or not to です ? What is (really) the difference between です, ある and いる ? It seems the more I research about it online, the more confused I get. In my mind, the battle is more betweenです is ある. ある means is or exists for the location of inanimate objects いる is used for the location of animals and people But, then why is it: Kore wa hondesu. - これわ本です。and not Kore wa honaru. - これわ本ある。？ Since I'm entry level, would it just be safe to use 'desu' for now? Thanks everybody, have a nice day!
