Hospital story
Doctor:
Good Morning Mr. Pintenau,
How are you today ?
Patient:
Good Morning Doc,
I'm feeling much better but my head hurts and I'm feeling dizzy once in a while.
Doctor:
That is absolutely normal after a surgery like that Mr. Pintenau.
If all is going well you should be released from the hospital in a few days.
Patient:
That sounds great!
You should know that I'm having a date with a beautiful woman which I'm reluctant to cancel.
Doctor:
I cannot promise anything but if you continue to take your medicine, then, I think, there is nothing to stop you from doing that.
Will it be your first date with that woman ?
Patient:
Actually, we see a lot of each other since I'm hospitalized.
It looks like she loves me. She even serves me food and beverage and she can literally read every wish from my lips.

I hate when you are trying.. / I hate when you try..
Hello,
I've got a question about the following two sentences.
I hate when you are trying to read something and you come across the expression ...
I hate when you try to read something and you come across the expression ...
Why is the first one correct? So why do we have to use the ing-form of the verb instead of the infinitive?
I mean I know that we use the continious form of the verb if it happens right now but that is not the case in the second sentence.
Is it because the action is temporary?
Thank you in advance!

Do you mean the key for the wireless internet access ?
Hello,
let's say I phone with someone and he asks me for a key but I dont know what kind of key he means.
So I ask him..
"Do you mean the key for the wireless internet access or do you mean the key of my house?"
Is it correct to say that?
Im particulary interested in the preposition "for".
Thanks in advance!

Why do we use present perf. cont. in this sentence?
Hello everybody, :)
I was just reading an article on goal.com and I was wondering about the following sentence.
"The coach says the two do not keep in touch, despite having worked together for three years at Real Madrid."
Context: The coach (J.Mourinho) is not working for Real Madrid anymore but the player (C. Ronaldo) still is.
Why do we use "having worked" in this sentence"?
I mean this is present perfect continuous but there is no connection to the present.
The coach worked for Real Madrid two years ago.
Or do we use having in this sentence because there is the word despite before have and so we have to put the -ing at the end of the word have?
Thank you very much!

What was it on? / What was it about?
Hello everybody!
is there a difference in meaning between the two questions "What was it on?" and "What was it about?" ?
I know that the expression "What was it about?" means something like what was the thing you were talking about.
Thank you in advance!

Just a short story about my everyday life
Recently I sat in the bus going home after a hard day of working. I thought about the things I will do if I am at home and what is going on TV tonight. Suddenly, I heard a strange noise that made peeeep all the time. It was awful! I looked around and tried to figure out where these noises might come from. I was pretty sure that it comes from the watch of an old man who was sitting next to me. So I asked him. Excuse me Sir, is this your watch that is making these peeeep noises all the time? The guy faced me and said. No this is my heard pacemake that is making these noises. After he told me that, I felt somehow embarrassing for asking that question. But the noise was really annoying.
Thanks in advance for correction!!! :)

what i just recently noticed
Hello,
A short story about thing that I just recently noticed..
I am presently getting better in english very fast. This is because (due to) I'm working with 3 co-workers in an office and one of them is an english native speaker.
What I noticed though is that it's sometimes harder to speak to someone from germany than to speak to someone from the usa, england or any other english speaking country.
For one thing, the trouble is, that you do not get what the other one might say because he uses british english instead of american english. Moreover, it might be hard to understand each other because you do not understand the prounouncation of the words of the other person because you are used to native speakers.
