  In this video Linda breaks down the difference between "everyday" and "every day". Due to their spelling, it can be quite hard for non-native English learners to understand the difference between the two. This video explains exactly how to differenciate between both expressions.

I am aware that those are probably the 3 most difficult units to teach to students that are below the upper intermediate level of English learning. When you live in a non english speaking country, it can be very difficult to know exactly when to use the conditionals or the reported speech, so it is going to be a good challenge for me...  [Read more]
