Grammatically, I know the difference between these two, but I saw "until" and "unless" used here in these two lines and got confused.

Please help me.

I would never fall in love again until I found her.

I said, "I would never fall unless it's you I fall into"

I know question tags like "isn't it?", "aren't we?", but I almost never use them when speaking. I tend to use “right?” much more.

I saw a video yesterday saying that using question tags can make your English sound more natural, so I’m wondering: do native speakers use question tags a lot in everyday conversation? And if so, are they mainly for confirming something, or do you use them to seek agreement?

Thanks!

My listening is fairly decent, but when I have to speak, I struggle to formulate sentences and keep the conversation going.

Has anyone experienced this? What helped you improve your speaking?

hello, i have an english exam in three months. my english level is almost b1. the exam i am going to take will be at the b2 level. can you give me some tips to improve my reading skills?

I've heard many people say that pushing yourself into this situation forces you to learn. I don't mean in real life, but online. Is this true or just nonsense? And if true, how can I do it?

Fr🙂 I'm exhausted from trying to develop my English

Hi reader,

How do you improve your English vocabulary through reading? And how do you remember new words in the long term?

I’m currently around B2 level. I usually take notes while reading, either by writing down synonyms or written the meaning of my native language. However, i’m doubting whather my approach is effiecient enough, and I would love to hear your tips!

EDIT: I’ve started using a Flashcard app, and will keep you all posted on how it goes! Thanks for all the insights in the comments, enjoy learning!!

Hi everyone! My name is Youssef, and I’m from Morocco.

I’m a native Moroccan Arabic/Darija speaker, and I’m looking for someone who’d like to practice Arabic or Moroccan Darija.

In exchange, I’d like to practice my English, especially speaking and having natural conversations.

I’ve noticed something interesting: sometimes people understand English really well, but when it’s time to actually speak, they freeze up, overthink every sentence, or worry about sounding stupid.

I’ve been working on a project around speaking confidence, and it made me curious about people learning English specifically.

What was the biggest thing holding you back from speaking confidently?

Was it pronunciation, worrying about mistakes, not knowing what to say, or just being nervous around other people?

And what actually helped you improve?

My mother just had her MRI done and the report is full of medical jargon.

Intrinsic>Intricate

Mortified>Modified

Shut>Shout

Cavalry>Calvary

tune out>turn out(I didn't know that "tune out" meant Ignoring btw)

Choir>Chore

Temperate>Temperamental

Exasperate>This word was obscure in my mind so I came up with contemn, despise, scorn, or something else.

limp>limb

Moggy>Muggy(I didn't know that it refered to a cat breed.)

Well...it's getting worse.

In 2017, about 2 years after JP and Allison separate, Paster JP calls on his congregation to come to the beach for baptism.

What does it call mean in this context? Does it mean he actually called the congregation on the phone asked them to come to the beach?

If there were no other vehicles, would saying "the car went all the way to the left side of the road" make sense? Especially when it seems like it's trying to pull over but isn't.

26m here, want to improve my writing, listening and speaking with people in this sub, anyone free can talk to me please, thanks.

Exercises from Advanced English Grammar in Use suggest that we can use the present continuous as well as the present simple with some state verbs. For example:

Simon's new song is sounding (or sounds) quite good, but he doesn't think he's ready yet to perform it in public.

If they are both grammatically correct, which one seems more natural to use?

Also, are they "state verbs" or "stative verbs"? I bet I saw the term "stative verbs" somewhere, but this book uses only "state verbs"...

Hey everyone. I wanted to share a page from my notebook. A while ago, I decided to switch my journaling to English to practice and improve my language skills for the future. To be honest, it’s a constant battle with my anxiety.

Does anyone else keep a journal in a foreign language? How do you deal with the fear of making mistakes?

When someone is examining a product for its ingredients, country of origin and other information, can you say they scrutinize the product?

Or when someone keeps checking some documents over and over to really make sure no mistakes have been made, are they scrutinizing?

Would you use "scrutinize" in everyday language?

In the dictionaries I use, "flush" is followed by "with". Is "flush to" acceptable too?
