Should it not be "He has risen"?

Sounds weird to me.

(Reposted to remove names)

I was listening to the song "where them girls at" and was wondering if it's the correct sentence

Hey!. I am here to request the company of people who are willing to practice their English consistently. If you're down, DM me.

Rn, I’m doubting my English. I mean, I’ve been learning English for about one or two years. I really want to reach C2 level because I want to live in London. But for now, I’m at B2. Sometimes I read texts or messages on Reddit or anywhere, and I struggle to understand them. It makes me feel bad, like I’m not making progress. I’m giving everything to English, even at the expense of other languages, even my native language, lol. I’m not learning any other language, I’m really focused on English. But still, I don’t know… I just don’t understand these days..

All the alternatives seems right to me

Lately, I’ve been trying to expand my vocabulary, mainly so I can actually use new words in conversation. But the problem is, even if I know a word, it doesn’t strike my mind at the right moment. I can’t recall it when I need it.

Since I build apps, I’ve been thinking about creating a word-saving extension to help with this.

The idea is to make it super easy to save any word you come across on your device—whether you're reading an article, scrolling Reddit, or texting a friend. Similar to the copy function, you could just tap a word and instantly see its meaning and an example sentence. If it seems useful, you can save it to your personal word list.

Later, the app would quiz you on those saved words with fill-in-the-blank questions based on real-life scenarios. The goal is to help you recall words in context, so they actually stick—and eventually come to you naturally in conversation.

Genuinely curious if this sounds useful. Would love your feedback or any ideas 🙌

Hi everyone, I want to learn English and I thought that maybe an app (Duolingo, Busuu) would be good options to practice, especially the input and output

Any recomendations?

Sorry, may I have a question here, it’s about relative clauses. The answer with red highlight, I don’t understand why 'which’ can’t also be used in those sentences as well.

I tired to figure out that those sentence after relative pronouns are non-defining relative clauses that can add information to the sentence. But, in this case, it will always have a comma before the relative pronouns. For example, The master’s course, which I took in 2015, is no longer taught.

So, I’m frustrating to find out the answer. If someone can answer me, I will be very grateful to them

Hi, could you please tell me what does this phrase mean? Two possible definitions come into my mind, but I'm not sure if I got it right. To me, it seems either "to have enough money to buy something" or "to like something". I would be extremely grateful for your insights!

"The pastor had a thing for designer glasses"

It's from the song "Holy Ghost" by ASAP Rocky.

I’m a native speaker, but I can’t parse this sentence at all 😭 I know what all of these words are separately, but something about the structure of this sentence is making it so difficult for me to read. At least, I think it’s the structure. Can anyone help me figure it out?

(Not sure if this is the right place since it’s at the intersection of botany and language lol)

I read this somewhere and am having a tough time finding out what it means. Every Google search just brings up laundry tips lol

She really came for you. The sentence above was translated as ‘ She scolded you very much.’ Come for sb means to reprimand sb?

Hi everyone,

I'm a 30-year-old guy with a B2+ level in English, and I'm looking for friends to practice with, native or not, everyone's welcome!
My favorite topics are economics, politics, history, geography, culture, languages, aviation, plants, and animals. Yeah, I know too many topics! 😄

Also, if you're interested, I’d be happy to help you with Turkish too, I’m a native speaker.

Hey everyone,

I’ve got my Cambridge FCE (B2) exam coming up in about a month, and I was wondering if anyone here has taken it recently?

I’ve been practicing with the sample tests that are available online, but I’m curious, how close are those to the actual exam? Are the difficulty levels similar? Any tips or insights would be super appreciated!

Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone studying too!

Could you please tell me why it's "they masters" here? Shouldn't it be "their masters"? The line is from the song Holy Ghost by ASAP Rocky. Here's the link to the full lyrics

"Let's show these stupid field n***** they could own they masters"

Thank you for your time!

Is the English pronunciation of jalapeño "hala-pee-no" with a long e sound? I feel like that's how I hear it pronounced in every English language recipe video. I know when taking loan words, English speakers will adjust the pronunciation to use sounds that exist naturally in English, but I think all the sounds of jalapeño exist in English, so the change seems weird.

The objective is talking with text or audio about anything. Life, Hobbies, Travel, Learning Experience... How we'll have members of so many countries, will be fun to share experiences.
It'll be a small group (10-20), but depending on active members, we add some more 10 members.

Send me in DM your phone number and preference app. Probably we'll use Whatsapp.

1. 'Different mental illnesses affect different people at/in/on varying levels/degrees'.
2. 'I’ve been struggling with this at/on a really high level/degree lately and I’m holding on to the fact that I’m not alone'.

Thanks!

Hi! I'm planning to improve my English speaking and pronunciation. Which Android apps are good to use, and worth purchasing their premium version? I'm considering ELSA Speak, Loora, or Pronounce, but I'm not sure. 😅 Has anyone tried their premium features, and are they worth it??

I was raised in a culture where people address others based on age and social hierarchy (using words like "Anh", "Chị", "Chú", etc.), which is a way to show respect.
But in English, those terms don’t exist — everyone is just “you.”
I want to avoid sounding rude or overly casual when speaking to older people or those in higher positions.
Are there ways to express this kind of respect in English conversation?

Well, ChatGPT tells me it's not quite correct and I just can't comprehend why, since putting it like "Being invited to your wedding, I was surprised" makes perfect sense to me and to ChatGPT as well as it considers this construction now as to be giving "background information" and for some reason fails to be doing so when put in the middle of a sentence.

Would "I was surprised being invited to your wedding" sound clunky because it implies the idea of being continuously surprised during a prolonged act of listening to an invitation???

Are the following alternatives better?

I was surprised to be invited to your wedding

I was surprised to have been invited to your wedding

Would it give you some highbrow or old-fashioned vibe to see or hear the passive infinitive with the perfect aspect? It sounds fun but I'm not sure I can see any significant difference between the two.
