I’m a bit confused about the difference between use and usage in grammar. Could you explain when to use each one? Thanks!

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?”

Hii! its a simple question, but how can kids identify phrases in sentences ?

Hey teacher, my kid’s English homework is all about spotting phrasal verbs, Could you take a look and help us out? Here are a few:

After a long day at school, Sam couldn’t wait to kick back and watch his favorite show.
We need to come up with a fun idea for the science project.
The thief got away with stealing the precious jewels.
Do these all count as phrasal verbs? Would love your thoughts!

Hello dear teacher. Mylittle baby is struggling with the words flour and flower. How to use them in phrases or sentances is it same meaning as flour sounds like french flower. THX!

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?

Helloo Cici needs help identifying modal verbs, and while she's doing her best. She’s just starting to understand the concept, but it’s been a challenge figuring out which words are actually modal verbs versus other types of verbs. For example, she came across this sentence: "You must finish your homework before going out." She’s unsure if "must" is the modal verb or if it’s part of a different verb phrase.

I’m trying to guide her without giving away the answers, but I thought it might be better to ask for some expert advice!

Salim this time has homework about identifying infinitives. He gets the idea that an infinitive is the base form of a verb often preceded by “to,” but he’s unsure about how to spot them in more complex sentences.

One of the questions he’s struggling with is:

“She went to the park to relax after a long day.”
He’s not sure if to relax is the infinitive or if it’s something else.

I really want him to understand this concept because it keeps popping up in his exercises.

Again i need your help <3
I was reading a book about the weather patterns in different countries and came across a sentence that confused me: 'I wonder whether it will rain tomorrow.' I mixed it up with 'weather' , so i need your help to understand

I’m reaching out because my son, Sam, is working on an English assignment about determiners.

The task is to identify determiners in sentences, but he’s finding it confusing. For example, in the sentence, "Each student brought their lunch," he’s not sure why "Each" is a determiner and not an adjective.

We’ve gone through the rules, but he’s still mixing things up, especially with words like "the," "some," and "that." If you have any tips or an easy way to explain it, I think it would really help him get through this assignment.

Thanks so much for your time—I know how busy you must be, and we really appreciate your guidance!

Dear teacher currently we are solving an assignment focusing on gerund and infinitive usage, and we’ve encountered a few challenges. One of the tasks is to determine whether sentences “He decided going home early” are correct or need adjustment. THX!

I hope everything’s great! So in my childs English assignment involves using collective nouns correctly, and I’m trying to guide them but need a little clarity myself.

For example: “The ___ of sailors set sail at dawn” or “A ___ of keys was found in the drawer.” I’d appreciate it if you could suggest a couple of clear examples or rules to make this easier to explain.
