I am translating this phrase: "Wisdom has been defined as that which “flows from character and virtue applied, as we lean into the moment and lovingly act”, but I can't understand the meaning of "lean into the moment". Could someone help me please? Thanks)

Hi everyone, could you please help me out with the following. Which is right?

1. "You HAVE TO be 18 to watch this movie" or "You MUST be 18 to watch this movie?"

2. "You SHOULDN'T sit so near the TV. It's bad for your eyes" or "You MUSTN'T sit so near the TV?"

Thank you very much in advance!:)

Hi everyone! I can't quite understand the difference between "must" and "have to" in the following situation.

Let's say, there's an army officer talking to a soldier. Would he say: "You must follow my orders" or "You have to follow my orders?" Which is more natural?

Thank you:))

Cats are great pets. However, they are several things you need to think about before you adopt a cat. You shouldn’t get a cat just for fun. You need to be responsible. Remember, you will regularly have to buy food, toys and litter for your pet. If your cat has health problems, you also must pay for regular medical expenses.

If you decided to get a cat, you ought to choose which cat you want to adopt. You can get either a kitten or a full-grown cat. Kittens are more energetic and need more attention.

Some people take cats for a walk, but you don’t have to do this. Cats are very independent and love exploring places on their own.

Cats mustn’t eat the same types of food that we eat, it is very unhealthy for them. It’s a good idea to carefully study their diet and not to feed them with food they can’t eat.

Hello, I'm translating some phrases for schedules into English:

1. Working hours: 24/7

2. Days off: Saturday, Sanday

3. Without days off

Do they sound natural to native speakers?

Thank you:))

My friend wants to start a company in Poland and wants to name it "Poland International Commerce". Does such a name sound ok to native English speakers? Which sounds more natural, "Poland International Commerce" or "Poilsh International Commerce"? Thank you!:))

Hey there, I've been watching one of Steve Irwin's shows where he picks up two venomous snakes and says: "Let's take a whack off one of these". What does it mean? Thanx:)

Hey there! Found a little hawk (can't fly) in the street (no chance to find the parents anymore:((( but I'm in Istanbul just for another week. Does anybody know of a place I can take it to? The pet shops can't take one because they're only supposed to sell domestic animals. Is there a bird society or anything in Istanbul? Maybe somebody just wants to have one? A cage comes for free:))

Which one's correct?:)

Which sounds more natural in a conversation if we mean getting rid of the bad habit?

"I ceased smoking"

"I stopped smoking"

"I gave up smoking"

Hey guys:) I'd like to learn some phrasal verbs (they consist of a verb + element, e.g.: wake up, get up, get on the bus etc.?). What phrasal verbs do you use to describe your daily routine? Thank you!:)

Hey, guys, I've got this language question.

Officially, grammar books say that regrets about the past can be expressed in English by these:

* 3rd Conditional clauses (e.g. "If I had left earlier, I would have been on time!")

* I wish / if only (e.g. "I wish / if only I had kissed her!")

* should have and ought to have (e.g. "I should have / I ought to have been a better father!")

Can you think of any other ways you use to express regret about the past? For example, merely the use of Past Simple: "Oh, didn't turn the light off!" also express regret in the past, right?

I know we usually use "I wish I had..." / "If only I had..." / 3rd Conditional / "I should have..." to express past regret. Is it possible to use "ought to have..." to express regret, too? Any other ways you could think of?:)

Thank you!:)

Hello, I am studying English and would like to know if this text sounds authentic to native English speakers (the obvious statement in the last sentence is supposed to sound a bit stupid, but this is a script from a real-life conversation). Do you think this was said by a native? If not, what sounds wrong to you? How would you word it? Thank you:))

"Some people think that killing animals for fun is okay. What a disgusting, preposterous idea! I bet they literally have no brains! It’s so dumb that it makes me barf! I don’t mean to be repetitive, but it’s disgusting, really! It’s tragic, because when you kill someone, they end up dead, it’s so obvious!"

I'm a teacher and I'm planning to go into my classroom pretending I've got a broken hand (to grab attention and start discussing problems). So I'm thinking of a funny story about the broken hand - can you think of some funny reasons / situations for people breaking hands? thank you:)))

Hello, what does "block off the boards" mean in this sentence?

"I am guarding Scott and Parker is going to shoot the ball and I am going to have to react with a turn, and my hands back, and block Scott off the boards"

Thank you!:)

Hi!:) I've dropped my external hard drive and now my computer can't open files on it. Folders that used to take up 10Gb now are the size of 1Gb! Is there any way I can recover the data or is it entirely lost? Thank you!:)

Hello!:) I want to make a party for 20 people who don't know each other. To make it more fun, everyone is going to draw a task-card from a hat along with introducing themselves. Can you think of some interesting tasks to be written on the cards? All I can think of is: "Tell a story" / "Sing a song" / "Recite a poem" / "Dance"... Do you have any ideas for other decent tasks? (There are going to be some elderly people, too, so climbing trees and running away after knocking on neighbours doors is not an option:) Thank you!:)

Hey there:) Is there a name for an elastic knee-length sock that is used for varicose veins? Thank you!:)
