My teacher took a test of mine and said that I can achieve a score of 5.5 If I sit for IELTS without any preparation. But I am not being able to take things further. I need to improve my skills to get 6.5. What can I do to achieve that?
I only have 30 days in my hand and I have my job also.

This is so embarrassing to ask you about
sound which is related to having sex.
Its about my translation assignment so...
Is there any sound related to breath?
I think panting is quite far from implying sex.
I found some words like; boom, bang, smash, thump
but I want to find something related ...
Hey guys, is it possible to ask / poke someone to answer your question a little faster or one have to wait while someone answers? I mean in some other forums there is such a possibility to report an old un-responded question to be answered. Is there such a possibility here?
E.g. I had set an old question and had posted it on the site as a new thread. I find something puzzling after asking that question. can it be considered OK if I add some other related questions e.g. confusing context to that old thread?
Aha, I was looking for a way that makes me able to access to someone and request them to answer my question and I was thinking that bounty is an opening :))
So it attracts people because answering the question will give them (your) rep. A question with a bounty is also put in easy-to-spot positions on the site.
There are some specific forumes where people who answer your question through a very severe monitoring system are under control. Admins/moderators control them and have very harsh and difficult rules even for asking a question. e.g. a template and some specific structures for making a question to follow their construction
:)
I see what you mean
But here everything is different and I really admire this forum
@A-friend That doesn't make the answers completely reliable. Reliability doesn't depend on how harsh or strict the system is, but on how much answerers know about issues.
I choose to stay here because a) it's more open than other places (e.g. forums), which makes it closer to real English; and b) we have a lot of knowledgeable people who appear to be more knowledgeable than people I observed elsewhere.
Ok, I had a lot of fun with you guys here. I hope you had a nice time too. Forum --> plural=> Fora Nice. I didn't know that. Bye for now. I have to perform a task here in the office.
grammargamble.com/gameover.php this is a nice link to learen english grammer; are there any other good interactive/live/chat site/application/software/website for english learning ?
I know that for all verbs the structure of present subjunctive is the bare infinitive.
I also know that typically it is used after two structures:
Some verbs (ask, demand, insist, etc.);
Some expressions (it is desirable, essential, vital, etc.) + that.
Would you please help me with the fol...
First time I read it, I thought that a simple counter-example would be "the question is to be or not to be", but now I understand he's talking about finite clauses.
The first thing I would say about modal verbs is that their usage extends over many different contexts and so any general rules are bound to fail when taken out of context.
Your question makes reference to the use of 'will' and 'would' to express certainty. Although 'will' and 'would' share this...
The original question has changed and the answer doesn't make sense there any longer. But before I do, I would appreciate if anyone could point out any obvious mistakes, or things I should avoid repeating.
