Hi
I'm Ewa, I'm from Poland and I like maths and sport too And I speak English pretty good as I spent some time in the US (at a university). I'd be happy to talk to you, because, to be honest, I really miss speaking English when I'm in Poland. I can read in English and listen to it, but I can't talk in this language to anyone. So, if you're interested - just write me more about yourself
See you

NEED friends who speak spanish my life long wish.

Must have spoken spanish in another life, because I want to learn it so bad, I practice often and I am trying to find the best way to learn. I would like to find friends who I can call or write, also if I could exchange teaching english that would be great.

Can you speak English? is the question you ask someone if you don't know if they know the language.

Can you speak in English? (or "Could you tell me that in English"), is used to request someone who you already know speaks English to do so.It has two meanings. One: the person is already speaking English but not explaining himself well; two: the person is talking to you in a language other than English and you want him to repeat what he has just said, but in English.

I'd like to speak english with you !

Hi,

Neil can't .. tennis. He's broken his arm.

a.to play
b.playing
c.play

What is the correct answer?

C. With 'can', you need the base form of the verb.

eg We say 'I can speak English', but not 'I can speaking English'.

Best wishes, Clive

That was a little confusing, Goodman. Only your last sentence (I insist that he speak English) uses a subjunctive form of 'speak'.

Hi,

This is how I was taught. The terminology can be confusing. I was taught that gerund is the noun form of a verb. Although itâ not a real noun by definition, it functions like one. Another confusing aspect of the âingâ form is that, itâs often mixed up with participle and gerund.

i.e. I love my family. Family is a noun. To replace âfamilyâ with dancing, it becomes âI love dancingâ. Therefore, âdancingâ in function is a noun, (a gerund)

On the other hand, â I saw her standing thereâ where standing is a participle, not gerund. Likewise, âI heard the police shouting at the burglar to stop runningâ. Shouting and running are both participles.

With the subjunctive use, âI insisted on his speaking Englishâ, itâs [his], not [him]. But Iâd prefer to say âI insist that he speak Englishâ for that context.

One day I hope to be as good as you at speaking English.
One day I hope to be speaking English as well as you.
I hope to be as good as you at speaking English [one day / some day].
I hope to be speaking English as well as you [one day / some day].
I hope I'll be [able to speak / speaking ] English as well as you [one day / some day].

I wish I could speak English as well as you. << meaning, at this moment -- now

I wish I will is ungrammatical.
