What is the difference between "toward" and "towards"?
They're the same word and mean the same thing. "Toward" is the preferred American spelling; "towards" is more common in British English.
can you explain what the meaning of "bruh". is it equals with "bro" or "brother"? thanks before
It's slang, so it's equal to both "bro" (which is also slang) and "brother." "Bruh" and "bro" can mean 'brother,' but it can also mean 'friend,' 'dude,' 'guy,' etc.

What does "condensed version" means? Ty!
It means 'a shorter version.' For example, if your sister wants to tell you about something bad that happened to her today but you're in a rush to get somewhere, you might tell her, "Give me the condensed version of what happened to you today."
Hi i'd like to know how to use "lit" words as a sentence? Like "this is lit!" And what is that mean?
"Lit" is slang for 'amazing,' e.g., Last night's party was lit! I wished it would never end! (It can also mean 'high' [on drugs] or 'drunk,' so you can also use it as "Dude, I was lit last night when I told your sister that I loved her. My bad."
Is grammar necessary to learn a foreign language?
If you're a tourist who just needs to communicate with native speakers for a few weeks, then no. Just knowing a few key words (e.g., restroom, hotel, restaurant, How much?, Where?) would be good enough. But anything beyond that would require at least some knowledge of grammar.
What is the meaning of "one-upper"? Thanks.
A "one-upper" is a person who always has to be better than someone who's talking, so they'll tell a similar story about themselves with a much more amazing outcome.
Me: I spent a week in Hawaii last summer. It was amazing.
One-upper: That's nice. My uncle owns a private jet, so he flies me out every summer to spend three months on his mansion in Maui. No big deal.

Which one is correct, "no later than" or "not later than"? Thanks
They're both correct and mean the same thing. However, "no later than" is much more commonly used and is considered less formal. For this reason, "not later than" is most often found in rulebooks, government laws, and more formal writing (e.g., academic papers).

Do we put s on put? Like, he puts/she puts...?
Yes, we do. Just be careful about the past tense of "put": it's "put" (not "puted"). And the past participle of "put" is "put," e.g., Before I lost my keys, I was sure that I had put it on top of my desk.

What an absolute joke we have as President. 🏻♂️
What does "you lost me at (x)" mean?? Thank you
It's an expression that means 'I couldn't understand you after the word (x).' For example, "You lost me at 'adiabatic efficiency.'" Or "You were speaking so fast that you lost me at 'my cat.'" It could be because the subject is too complicated or they couldn't understand or hear what you were saying.
Can you redirect me to helpfu articles that can teach me about 'Participle'? I mean I'm so confused about past progressive... etc. Thanks a lot

When you love someone but it was in the past. How to say it ? Is it "I do love you" or "I did love you". Thankyou
"I loved you," "I used to love you," or "I once loved you" would work. (You would say "I did love you" if someone doubted if you loved them in the past or not: "You didn't love me back then, did you?" "I did love you, but it feels like so long ago.")
When should i use mature and matured?
"Mature" is the present tense form; "matured" is past tense. "When will you mature into a responsible person?" vs. "He matured from a spoiled brat into a humble and dependable leader."
Also, "mature" is an adjective: My cousin is a college student who is mature beyond his years. 👨🏻🎓

do you prefer use british or us for english?
Because we live in America, we naturally prefer American English. (But it doesn't mean that American English is "better.") If we lived in the UK or somewhere other than America, we would prefer British English.
Hi! Which is correct? "this people" or "these people" Ex: It's truly amazing how God can love and cherish this/these people!
"People" is plural, so we use "these," e.g., these dogs, these markers, these guys. We use "this" with singular nouns, e.g., this person, this cat, this pen, this song.
Whats the meaning of legit
It's slang for 'cool,' similar to "dope," "tight," or "fly." For example, "Bro, your new shoes are legit! Where did you get them?"
It can also be slang for 'not fake' or 'genuine,' e.g., "How could you think that the iPhone 8 you found at a garage sale was legit? It hasn't even come out yet!" 🏻♀️

what satan mean?
Satan is the name of the Devil from the Bible, i.e., Lucifer.
Hello! would you tell me what does it means ? ("Come lie with me instead Bebe") Thanks 😊
It could mean two things. The speaker is saying to Bebe: 1) Come lie down next to me instead of that other person; or 2) Have sex with me instead of that other person. ("Bebe" could either be the actual name of the person or a variation of "babe" or "baby.")

hey, is it true that "an F", "an H", "an L", and "a U" ? and i found "a edit" not "an edit"... sorry for my bad english
Hi. Whether we need "a" or "an" depends on the beginning sound of the word that follows. If the next word begins with an "eh", "ee," "uh," "ay," "eye," or "oh" sound, we use "an." If it doesn't, we use "a."
- an F (eh-f)
- an H (ay-ch)
- an L (eh-l)
- an ice cream cone (eye-ce cream cone)
- an umbrella (uh-mbrella)
- an edit (eh-dit)
"A edit" is wrong. It should be "an edit." We hope this helps. 👍🏻

Hi. Is it 'On a scale of 1 to 10' or 'On a scale from 1 to 10'?
They're both right, but we see/hear "on a scale OF 1 to 10" more frequently. (Grammatically speaking, "on a scale FROM 1 to 10" makes more sense because it's expressing a range.)
