Talking about the future mainly involves discussing plans and predictions, and the "will & be going to" pair could tell you a lot about that. But I'm not a big fan of sharing my plans because they

It's not easy to make good bread. Even though I have a ton of cooking doodads in the kitchen, it took me a while to make an edible one. I remember my first try at it. It smelled like bread, but it

It all started with a pizza. I made a pizza for dinner last week. I don't do this very often because we're an odd number of people at home, and even though I know that πr² is the formula for finding

I was born in the last century, and if my memory isn't playing tricks on me, I remember being born at home. I'm not sure, though. I was too young to notice, but I do remember that my mother wasn't at

Whenever I see you, I feel the uncontrollable urge to remove whatever is covering you, whatever/regardless of its color or texture. Your dark/swarthy color, your scent, and the beauty of your lines

The owner of a not very successful neighborhood bookstore came up with the idea of holding a poetry reading. He got an old friend who used to write poetry in his youth to host the event. On the day

"Do you have any dogs?" "I don't have any, but I do have some cats. They were strays and I adopted them last week. Do you have any advice?" "No, as long as you don't have any dogs." "I just told you

I have a sore big toe. Some woman stepped on my foot this morning as I was walking into a store. I let out a big ouch and looked at her, not with any particular intention, just to see whether she

If you've never seen an octopus up close, you can't say you've seen it all. We're strange creatures, all right, but there's a lot more to us than our slippery appearance and our eight arms. Yes,

I went incognito today to get out of the house. Cosplaying has never been my thing, actually I kind of hated it, but today there was no avoiding it. My freezer was so empty that it echoed when I

I hardly ever pick up the phone on the first ring. First, I pinch the space between my eyes and try to guess who’s calling . Often the call goes to voicemail, and I don’t really care. But when I do

"Oh, yeah. You could say that," Righton replies. "Does this happen often?" "No, not really. On a regular laundry day, we just steer clear of bleach. You know, we just go with the flow and relax."

"Welcome to ESPAIN. The channel where the sun never sets and we still claim it as Spanish property. I'm thrilled to be back. I can hardly speak. Speaking of stars, we have a very special guest with

Lately, I've been focusing on causite forms in English. First because I realized I've never used them, and second, because it was about time— I've been avoiding the topic for too long. Even though

I'm having my house remodeled these days, and it looks like a war zone—everything is out of place. At first, I thought I’d just have it painted, but then I changed my mind and asked a decorator

This morning, I was really late to work again. I called my coworker Susan from my car and had her tell my boss I was late. She reluctantly agreed and said, 'This is the fourth time you're going to be

These are by far the trickiest grammar structures I’ve ever come across. I think it’s because they’re counterintuitive compared to Spanish, and it's going to take me a while to get the hang of them.

"Grammar, how old are you?" "Very old, honey. I've been around since before Shakespeare." "Who is that?" "An old friend of mine. Someone who knew me very well when I was young." "That old?" "Older

I'm about to write a post about the preposition "about". Hopefully it will take you no more than about two minutes to read it. I've beent out and about thinking about what the best topic would be to

I was very young when I was born, so I didn’t have to watch my weight back then. Now, I’ve decided that my new workout routine is just to run ... away from responsibilities. It burns a lot of
