Good day all, I was booking a flight online and saw a section for "fare" but then noticed another area about "the fair of the city." It made me wonder if they were somehow related. Could you clarify when to use "fair" versus "fare"?

Hi! I’ve always been a bit confused about when to use "into" versus "in." Can you explain the difference with a quick example?

My friend texted me, "I can't bare this heat anymore," and it sounded off to me. I decided to ask you whether "bare" was correct in that context or if it should be "bear." How both words are used.

Hi! Quick question: is it "within" or "with in"? I keep seeing both, and now I’m second-guessing myself!

I need your help with this, I was talking to my friend about a book I just finished, and I said, “I loved it! It was so interesting.” But then I realized I could have used “this” instead of “it.” What is the difference between using "it" and "this" in that context.

Hello :) , I was at a café, flipping through the menu, and I noticed "desert" written where they listed cakes. Confused, I asked the waiter, "Is this a dry, sandy desert or the sweet dessert?" He laughed and said, "Ask an English teacher—they’ll explain the difference better!" , so here i am

Ciao!! While reading a novel, I come across a line that says, “She took a long breath before she could breathe again.” Curious, Why does this author use both ‘breath’ and ‘breathe’ like that? What’s the difference?”

Hello, I was shopping for school supplies and grabbed a "stationary" pad, but then I realized the sign said "stationery." I wasn’t sure what the difference was, so I asked my English teacher. She explained that "stationary" means not moving, while "stationery" refers to paper, pens, and other office supplies. Can you confirm is the explanation right?

Hii During your child’s school event, a teacher said, "All the best!" before the kids' performance. Is this just a way to say good luck?

Hello teacher this time the question is for me)
While applying for a new job, I came across the phrase "Dear Sir or Madam" in a sample cover letter. I wondered if it’s still appropriate to use or if there’s a better alternative.
Could you explain when it’s best to use this greeting?
