Prepositions Usage: how to avoid the misuse of them? Hi everyone, I would like to ask about the most effective way to dominate the prepositions usage. Is just that there are so many, with a lot of exceptions that I always do mistakes while using prepositions. I know that there are prepositions of place, time and direction, but there are many other prepositions that I don't know exactly when to use. Does anybody know a method, resource, book, website, etc. that can help to deeply understand how and when use each preposition? Thanks in advance! Luis

Learning English while reading? Hi, I realize that in order to be really proficient in English you have to learn a lot of new words and meanings, so you have more resources in your head to let others understand your message clearly and concisely. To achieve that goal I was thinking in find a book from where I can learn English grammar and at the same time practice reading. I would classify my English level as intermediate (I hope so...), so I'm looking for stuff that shows me information that I don't know yet. The idea that I have in mind is to become a bilingual copywriter, and to be successful in that regard I have to have enough skills to draw ideas by using text. In the beginning I thought that get this skill will be very hard, but as I keep practicing the fact of expressing my ideas is becoming easier. To avoid make this message too long, I would like to ask everybody who check this notebook to share their advice of good books written in English that can help to improve the grammar proficiency. If you don't know any book, your suggestions will be equally welcome. Thanks!

New Year's resolutions! Hi, I'd like to talk about the New Year's resolution, and I'd like to do it short because it seems that the last notebook that I wrote was too long because I didn't get any response:( Anyhow, I think that most of the people have some ideas in their heads about what they would like to accomplish when starting a new year. Of course those ideas are the goals that any human being have in mind since their are children (a.k.a. dreams). During the last years of my life I realize that to reach your goals, one have to take the things one by one, which meas to go advancing towards your goals step by step. That's because sometimes one have many wishes, but not a clear direction, and that could harm your goals. Thus, over the last years I try to prioritize the things I have to do, and after I get those things done I take some time to think if I'm going in the right direction. What about you? How do you do to set up your New Year's resolutions?
