When should we use the word "ought"? Thanks!

1. "Ought" is used to indicate duty, correctness, or moral obligation:
- You ought to follow the law.
- Smoking ought not to be allowed. 🚭
2. "Ought" is also used to give or ask advice:
- You ought to study diligently for the final exam.
- Jo ought to ask for help on her homework.
💁🏻ℹ️ "To" is always used with "ought" (i.e., "ought to").

is that difficult if an international student is study in america? i mean like in high school?

Since none of us admins were international students, we can't speak from experience. However, we do know lots of international students who are in high school, and we would say that the vast majority of them are doing fine. In a diverse city like Los Angeles, for example, there are many international students, so it's much easier to make friends, adjust to American culture, find help for schoolwork, etc. The story would probably be very different in cities where there aren't many (or any) international students. We hope this helps. 👍

In social media or on social media? Thank you in advance. :)

We use "on" with every social media site, e.g., "on Twitter," "on Facebook," "on YouTube," "on Instagram." Therefore, "on social media" is correct. (The most obvious exception to this would be the phrase "This week IN social media," but this is because "This week in [x]" is an idiomatic expression.)

Why do people answer "Will you marry me?" with "I do" instead of "I will"?

Good question. Most people we know answer "Yes" to a marriage proposal (not "I do").
"I do" is spoken during the wedding ceremony, after the pastor/officiant asks something like "Do you take this woman/man to be your lawfully wedded wife/husband, to have and to hold, in sickness and in heath, in good times and woe, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself solely unto her/him for as long as you both shall live?" [Answer: "I do."]

Hello, what is the difference between "sent" and "send" ?

"Send" is present tense; "sent" is the past tense and past participle of "send":
- We send you our love and support. 💌
- She sent you a text message yesterday. 💬
- I have sent you six emails since noon; please reply to all of them. 📨

When we use "will" and when "would"? Is this sentence correct? "She was over the moon when she heard he would comeback". Can I use "will comeback"in this case? Thank you a lot

In that example, "would" is correct because "was" and "heard" are both in the past tense. "Would" is the past tense form of "will."
- He SAID (past) it WOULD (past) be cold today.
- He SAYS (present) it WILL (future) be cold today.
- She WAS (past) over the moon when she HEARD (past) that he WOULD (past) come back. (If you're talking about K-pop, it would be "She was over the moon when she heard that he would MAKE a comeback.")

What is the exact meaning of "sassy" ? Is it rather positive or negative ? Thank you very much!

In simple terms, "sassy" means 'boldly smart' or 'improperly bold.' In other words, it can be either positive or negative; it depends on how you use it.
Positive: "My cousin likes girls that are sassy and fun, not shy and timid."
Negative: "The school principal and the science teacher reprimanded the sassy teen for his disrespectful comments and arrogant attitude."

i beg of you or i beg you? i saw this a lot on movies._. thanks!

They mean the same thing. "I beg you" is much more common in American books/movies than in their British counterparts. (Plus, "I beg of you" is considered old-fashioned and overly formal.)

"The current expenditure translates to about $75 for every adult smoker". I wonder what the word "translate" means in this case, could you explain? Thanks 💕

In that sentence, "translate" means to 'be equivalent in effect.' In other words, "The current expenditure is equal to about $75 for every adult smoker." We hope this helps. 👍

Correct my sentence please " will you marry me or whould you marry me" thank you ...

If you're proposing to someone, "Will you marry me?" is the most common way to say it. 👰💍
(Similarly, we ask "WILL you be mine?" and "WILL you be my Valentine?") 💖
Here's how to use "would you marry me":
- Would you marry me if I were rich, handsome, and funny?
- Would you marry me if you weren't marrying my twin brother?
- I was wondering if you would marry me.

Which one is correct, "On the 1st of January", "On the 1 January" or "On the 1st 2017"? I'm still confuse with using of ordinal number in dates.

In written English, "on the first of January" would be correct. Just remember to put the [ordinal figures + of] before the name of the month, e.g., the 11th of June, the sixth of May, the fifth of November. (To adhere to most writing guides, spell out first through ninth; use numerals for 10th and higher.) 👌
Which one is correct On the 1st of January On the 1 January or On the 1st 2017

What does 'savage' mean?? Please enlighten me, thanks in advance :)

In standard usage, "savage" means 'wild and menacing,' like a savage bear 🐻 or 'cruel or brutal,' like a savage comment or action.
As a noun, "savage" means 'an uncivilized person' (e.g., a jungle savage) or 'a vicious person.'
💁🏻ℹ️ Nowadays, "savage" is used frequently on the internet. That usage is slang, and it describes an action that is mean—but also really cool or impressive. Take a look at the picture for examples (from Urban Dictionary, a good resource for slang).

"Gonna be success or wanna be success" Correct my sentence please, thank you...

There are several different ways you could express your example:
- I want to be successful. / I am going to be successful.
- I want to be a success. / I am going to be a success.
The important thing to know is that "successful" is an adjective, so it can follow 'be' without adding any words. "Success" is a noun, so if you use it after 'be," it needs 'a.'
That's the last answer for today. Since you know that we're back, feel free to ask more questions. We'll be here on Wednesday to answer 10-15 questions. 🙋🏻👋

hey, can you explain me the difference between beauty and pretty? if im not wrong, i saw this sentence "she's not pretty, she's beauty" (or vice versa i forget) also, i saw someone describes a boy as beauty. why they didnt use handsome? my friend once asked me, but i dont know how to explain...

"Pretty" is an adjective; "beauty" is a noun. The adjective form of "beauty" is "beautiful."
- She's pretty. → ✔
- She's beauty. → ❌
- She's beautiful. → ✔
- What a pretty dress! 👗 → ✔
- What a beauty dress! → ❌
- What a beautiful dress! → ✔
Here's when "beauty" is used as a noun:
- She's a beauty. (It means "She's beautiful.")
- You car is such a beauty. (It mean's "Your car is such a beautiful car.")
- My life is a beauty! (It means "My life is beautiful.")
hey can you explain me the difference between beauty and pretty if im not wrong
