How often do you buy a bag of sugar? Bag, box, jar, and spoonful are measure words we use for noncount nouns. What other measure words can you think of? We'll post more later today! #AmericanEnglish

Gérard I remember reading a very nice English book : The room with a view. The title had held all my attention because I loved that construction.

Sour is usually not good, stronger than tart.MurielB a écrit:Hi Gérard, is it true that "sour" is stronger than "tart" ?
Take care of tart, as a noun, it's a... special word.

The equivalent in French is just "se pomponner".
No, the meaning is softer but it may show the goal.MurielB a écrit:Gérard is it dress up in a cheap and provocative way ?

You are as curious as a cat! You practice English every day and ask lots of questions on the #AmericanEnglish Facebook page. "As curious as a cat" is an example of a simile. A simile is a comparison between two words using "like" or "as." Tag a friend and give him/her a compliment: "You are as ____ as ____."
