My friends! Today I will tell you when and how to use the gerund correctly. The gerund is a part of speech combining the features of a noun and a verb. In the direct sense of the word, it is a noun from the front and a verb from behind. It means that we may use some prepositions and possessive pronouns before a gerund, while we use the complements and adverbs before it. A gerund defines a progreesive action. However, it is "more a noun than a verb", if I can say so. A gerund is mostly used as a

My dear friends! As I promised, this month we will vote for the most interesting question of August. Only August gamers can take part in voting.Perhaps, there should be some estimation criteria so that our choice will be somehow grounded. I propose the following criteria:
1. The question, itself, caused your desire to know the answer.
2. The question was asked in such a way that the easiest answer seemed to be beyond your understanding.
2. It was not easy (or was impossible) to google the answer.

Yes, I mean 'top members', not 'star members'. Just as you know, it's hard to choose the monthly star members, especially when we're trying to choose someone who's never been chosen as a star member.
The thing is some of the star members may not have been aware they were star members because they didn't visit MyEC much - they were't really active members and other members didn't think they deserved it. That's to say, some of the star members are controversial.
Thankfully, the admin of MyEC has

Lili is my pet. She is a cat. She uses necklade. Lili always eat a lizard. She hairy brownish black.
Lili has kittens , lili always takes care her kitten everytime. She loves her kittens. Lili must feed the kittens everyday. Lili always move the kittens to another place. Why lili always move the kittens? Because lili doesnt want kittens bullied other people.
“So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone…”,as the Bible says in Galatians 6:10 since time immemorial. If doing good is that easy, why there are so many reminders for doing such? If it is simple as breathing, why people find it rigid to give? If it is an effortless act, why a human desires evil?
Merely, it is not easy, simple and effortless. On the contrary, doing evil can be done with ease, guiltless and blameless. Life is an irony sometimes I may say.
This is a challenge for
Hi, there! I am going on explaining some phrasal verbs! Today I will tell you the difference between OUT and AWAY. I have already explained OFF. Now, about OUT. This preposition means that some object lost its original properties in full or partially. For example:
A bulb burned out (It doesn't light).
My pants are worn out ( I can still wear them, but they don't look new).
So, when any object loses its properties, they "come OUT' of it. That is why we use the same preposition meaning that any actio
My dear friends! Posting our grammar tests for rather long we see your main weak points. So, this week, we are posting two other tests. Tanya will tell you about the gerund, while I will tell you a little about using the modal auxiliaries describing the past.
When we speak/write about the past (not the future past), we mostly use modals followed by the prefect/perfect progressive form of the infinitive. Let’s see, what they mean. I will use DO as a demonstrative verb.
COULD HAVE DONE may mean:

How will you keep motivated nowadays?
Two simple definitions for motivation are that it is a description of a person’s motive to action and it is a reason(s) for acting or behaving in a particular way. But why it’s so difficult to keep the fire burning? I came here in EC carrying the thoughts that I will enhance my communication skills and for sure I will accomplish what I’m up to. For a newbie here, I’m still on my adjustment period, dealing with members who use English in their daily lives, who

When you're flying, the airplane that carries you on is being guided by some pieces of equipment installed at determined points on the ground. Those things create kind of virtual roads or paths in the space on which the airplanes can fly using automatic pilots. The same happens when the aircraft is getting ready for landing: there is a virtual slope and a virtual axis that guide the plane right into the landing point of the runway. It may explain why your plane is able to get to its destinat
