Have got or have — when we talk about school timetable… I’ve stuck on this question. I’ve read in “Oxford English Grammar Course” by Michael Swan that got-forms are not usually used to talk about repeated actions, and he put some examples: “She has maths on Mondays”, “She has economics once a week”. But in “GoGetter-2” Students’ book besides examples like “On Tuesday, we have music”, I’ve also met “We’ve GOT French and Maths together”. So, I’m confused: should I say “I have Maths on Monday” or “I have got Maths on Monday”? Perhaps, all these mean that one can say “I have got P.E. and Science”, but “I have P.E. and Science” is much more preferable..? #British #English

What is used for school subjects when we speak about schedules: have/has or have/has+got? 1) I have Maths on Monday morning. 2) I have got Maths on Monday morning. ? #English #British Thank you in advance! I really appreciate your help 🌷

Where should I put adverb “then”: at the beginning of a sentence or before a verb? “I will visit Granny. THEN I will buy food for Rex” or “I will visit Granny. I will THEN buy food for Rex”? As I’ve understood from the Internet, the both variants are ok, but the second one sounds weird for me… #English #British

1) How much milk is in the fridge? 2) How much milk is there in the fridge? Which one is correct according to the grammar? I’ve met both of them, so I’m confused.. #British #English

She ……….. the house at 7 this morning. A) is leaving B) left C) leaves I chose A, but the answer in keys is B. Why? I know that the present continuous tense can be used for the future if we speak about someone’s plans or decision to do sth. Can’t I say “She is leaving the house at … in the morning/evening” ? #English #British

Is it grammatically correct to say: “In the closet, I have clothes and schoolbooks”, “I have a computer on the table in my room” ? Or using “there+is/are” is preferable? “In the closet, there are my clothes and schoolbooks” “There is a computer on the table in my room” #English #British

Can we use Present Perfect for dead people? I mean, I’d surely say “He has never been a president”, if I speak about an alive person, because his period of life is not finished and he can change the situation. But if I speak about a dead person — can I use Present Perfect? “Franklin has never been a president of the US” or “Franklin wasn’t ever a president”? I’m interested in answer accordingly to grammar rules. #English #British

Today I was going through the main square of our town and heard music. Then I remembered that today is the 12th of April, The Cosmonautic Day in Russia. It’s so because on the 12th of April, 1961, the Soviet citizen Yury Alekseevich Gagarin went to space on a space rocket called “Vostok-1”. He was THE FIRST human in space in the history of humanity. His flight lasted about 2 hours, then he returned to Earth. There are some interesting facts about him: 1) he was only 26 years old when he became the first human in space; 2) he was a pilot and a well-educated person; 3) his parents were just pesants and Jury was born in a small village — so, social lifts in the USSR were fantastic. You could be born in a village and then, after getting a free university education, became a famous and powerful person (a minister, for example); 4) Yury was loved by everyone who knew him because he was a modest and friendly person, who had a great temper and a charming smile; 5) his wife hadn’t known that he was going to fly into space: he hadn’t wanted her to worry for him; 6) Yury became famous throughout the world, he was asked to visit different countries and met different extremely famous people: for example, one of the most beautiful Italian actresses, Lola Lolobrigida — he said to her that he had seen a lot of stars (as he was a cosmonaut) but she was the brightest one :) 7) Yury met the English queen, Elisabeth the Second, as well. She was pleased to met him. We have some funny stories about this visit. As you know, there is a strict etiquette in the Palace, but Yury wasn’t familiar with it. At the dining table he took a piece of a lemon from his cup of tea and ate it. It was against the rules, but Elisabeth the Second made the same action to support him. 8) Yury passed away at the age of 34 years… After the flight to space he continued to work as a testing pilot and he got into an accident testing a new brand plane. Hope, it was interesting to you.

Hello everyone, In ABBA’s song “Venus” Russians hear a line “she’s got it” as [ʃiːzgara]. Do native English speakers hear [ʃiːzgara], too?
