Sona
It's good that you want it. Feel free to do so!

Hello! Native speakers, I need your help!!! What does the word "oddbale" mean?

Belo4ka, as you can see from this, [www.google.com] , your word does not exist, but there is a perfectly good word "oddball."

oddball - unusual person, eccentric, that behaves in an unusual way.

Hi, i am here with a same issue :) If you realy want to improve your English, you can initiate any discussion or arguement you interested in.
As i understood the native speakers reviewing other participants` messages from time to time. So we can write to each other

If you consider our communication useful, you can email me. I cannot stay on the forum whenever you need me. However, I can be available upon request, I mean I will answer you if you have some questions or wish to tell me something interesting so that in that case I will try to tell you something what you are interested in.

Клим I guess your goal is to learn how to write and what to write about. So feel free to post whatever you consider useful for your advanced improvement.

amot Unfortunetly, i do not know what all poeple here are interested about (apart from language ).
However, i have one question for discussion. Do somebody has explonation of English grammar in graphical perfomans e.g.
the line which is reflecting TIME with the tenses pointed out on this line. If somebody could do me a favour and will draw it or already has it or knows there i can take it in internet. I ll be very happy.

Клим
I am not sure, but it seems to me that I saw somewhere the line like you have described. It isn't difficult if you draw it by yourself. I guess if you have this idea of drawing this line, so you probably can imagine what this line should look like, so you half-draw it already.
But what problems do you have with tenses? If you know that there are past, present and future tenses the following step would be not too difficult. Let's say that you probably won't need much tesnse forms for the start and then when you read books and have questions you would learn all of them step by step.
Do you understand everything, e.g. about present simple tense, and in general about Simple forms of tenses?
If you do, then you know how to explain yourself in English and the following step you have to make is to learn more words and prepositions to connect those words. Say you know 2000 words and know how to use simple structure connected with preposition, then you need only time to get to the deepest core of the language, however, some people go to there for long enough time. What is your goal?

P.S. You can write on any topic, as any topic is connected with English and studying English as far as it is discussed in the English language. So feel free to write about anything you have in your mind, about any of your hobies or anything you read or hear.

Could somebody give me examples of using "having" in the Present Continuous Tns
the rule says that it is not changing and gives an example
Our family are having dinner now (for me "Our family" is like "they" so it will be having anyway )
I understand that there is no word "hasing", am i rigth?

Клим
it isn't a question of present continous. It is a question of formation of -ing structures.
Actually the word "have" is a static verb and should't be used in continuous form, however, in your example it is used in meaning "eating food", so it considers a process of sitting around the table, talking (probably), eating, drinking. All the time when a verb intents to reflect some process, a continuation of an action it is used in continous tense.
There is no word "hasing", as a word "having" is formed by ommiting -e at the end of the word "have" and adding the suffix "-ing" it is like Have - hav - e +ing = having
So the other words for continous form are created in the similar way if not taking into considerations some exclusions.
I hope my explanation may be understandable, and, probably, helpful.
If you know three forms of a verb and Participle I, which is the fourth form - you may understand my expanation without questioning it, I hope you will.

Here are two tables of using english tenses ( i think you could find them by yourself):
[www.ego4u.com]
[www.ego4u.com]
Yes, you understand it right.
there isnt a word "hasing" in english.
you can't use the verb "have" in the Present Continious. It can be used in continious only if it DOESNT HAVE the meaning TO HAVE, TO OWN, TO POSESS in such expressions as to have dinner( we're having dinner at the moment), to have shower etc. You can put them in continious, as they dont have the meaning "to have"
There is a list of non-action verbs that can't be used in the Continious.

Sorry, I didnt see your post when I'm writing mine. I like your explanations)

I was writing*

amotI agree with you in part that i can draw it by myself. Frankly speaking i am in process, but it look like very ugly :)and unproffesional.
I can`t say that i understood everything from present simple tense, i can`t say that i understood everything from all other tenses, but i sure i`ll achieve it someday.
About my goal, it is very simple i just what to write and speak in a proper way. The problem is that my studing process is very random.
One more i can`t understand why are you writting "... have described." instead of just "...described"
What`s the meaning of this verb in this particular case?

Клим
As to "... have described." - frankly, I dwelt over that. I hesitated what form to choose and decided to choose Present Perfect as I considered that your decision on that point had some importance at the moment when discussing. It would have been OK if I had chosen the form you suggested - just Past Simple, and probably that form would have been even preferable in that passage, I am not sure but it seems to me that it would be better to use just Simple Tense at that moment. As I said I had doubts, so for giving bigger emphasis to the meaning, I decided to use Perfect Tense. Sometimes it is difficult to explain, you know, especially if your level leaves much to be desired.


Froilen I should apologize, as I don't know everything exactly, but only to the extend to what I use it and how I feel it, so my explanations can be tangled and somehow incorrect, like my level they may leave much to be desired. :)

amot
You shouldn't have. Your explanations are very accurate)

hi! what does the word "cute" mean?

OSETIA
If you are a girl you can be "cute" in terms of "nice", "gentle", "polite", "attractive" ets - a lot of meanings
If it is just "Cute!!!", this may mean "Cool!!!"
Where did you meet this word if it is not a secret of course?

attractive in a pretty way

amot
my friend often used this word:) She was from USA

Butterfly
THANKS:)

If a woman says a guy is cute, it generally means she wants to sleep with him :)

клифф

Who says?

клифф

If a woman says a guy is cute, it generally means she wants to sleep with him :)

Can it be just an interjection? I saw a hero of some film using the word "cute" in the meaning "nice", "all right" etc.
e.g. "Cute, let's do it!"="All right, let's do it!" Maybe I'm wrong.

Amot
i guess that your english is really at good level,you can speak about everything without difficulty of expressing your opinion,and almost without problems in view of grammar..I would like to know how you achieved such base?

sunny
hi,have you got any news?i coudn't get in touch with you yesterday,I'm going to learn german..can you give me advice what to begin from,of course if you may be have any experience or smth like that

Hi! So you like chatting preferably at night, huh? Do you live somewhere where it is a day now? Or you are either busy or asleep during a day? Your conduct is rather interesting. Not many people behave like you. I believe that some people like posting at night, and it depends on their life style or cost of their traffic. Probably you have night unlimited access to the internet?
And I usually sleep at night, so good night.
