What should I use for addressing to a woman in a coverletter when it does not tell us? Ms, Mrs or Miss. Dear madam/ sir could be used if there was no name. However usually, there is a name e.g., Contact: Amanda Moore There might have been a post in the past asking similar question. I'm not sure, you can direct me to the older post. There are way too many for me to search. If you don't mind you can explain to me again?

We use "has" for HE SHE IT (third person singular). "he has 3 cars."

But recently, I would choose to look up the definition through a website dictionary. But it just makes me more upset, because looking up one word will end up looking for more words. They often use really difficult words to explain something. But I really think they shouldn't make things so complicated if possible; we already have little knowledge of English. C: It's not a must but, I'd prefer to have one. I used to use Cambridge dictionary, but now I'll search for more than one dictionary for one particular word, to get a more better understanding of the word. Now I like to use Dictionary.com.
